Haha, I can't believe people are still complaining about the price.
You guys are so lucky.
In my country, this kind of computer costs around S$4000.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/even sony doesn't have nicer

No USB 3.0 is kind of a letdown, as is no Blu-Ray burner, but I can live with it. However, having the hard drive be only 5400 RPMs is a big fail in my book. While I didn't expect a SSD, I really thought that they'd have a faster drive in there. Hell, their previous model, the 8942G at least had a 640 gig drive at 5400 RPMs. There's no excuse to drop the drive size and not increase the speed. I really don't want to have to shell out $1600 dollars for this and then turn around and drop some more money on a faster hard drive to fill that second bay.

Still, it is tempting, and the fact that you can buy it on Newegg with 8 gigs of memory for the same price as Amazon is offering the 4 gig model at, is just icing on the cake. ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/
Just read a review of the European model that indicated they still get the dual hard drives, as well as a Blu-Ray burner and a remote control (not useful to me, but still...).

Once again, it looks like the U.S. consumers get shafted. :(]]>Jun 22nd 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/]]>Jun 22nd 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-8943g-hits-us-retailers-less-glorious-laptops-in-to/Jun 22nd 2010 11:58PM
