Thumb Down

Why on earth would Acer pair a decent CPU with the Intel G965 chipset that can't even run the Sims correctly? Check this video out on YouTube to see how good The Intel G965 graphics are.

Slow, buggy, incompatible, old video capabilities, but other than that, great!

Nice to see...

... A former HDDVD consortium member jumping ship soooo quickly!! Still in a year, one or two laptops from a whole range fitted with a HDDVD drive as a very expensive option is hardly a sign of a company particularly committed is it?!

How quickly my amusement at the HD format war turns to cynicism!
