Aspire 6935G ‘a good all-round desktop replacement’

The new Aspire 6935G laptop from Acer has been praised in a new review as a "good all-round desktop replacement notebook".

Simon Crisp of Personal Computer World has claimed that the 16-inch model offers users an impressive amount of features, as well as a strong performance, for a relatively good value price.

While the battery life of the system was found to be somewhat disappointing, the model’s Gemstone Blue design gained positive recognition.

He said: "The lid has a dark blue, high-gloss finish that is set off by a gloss black bezel and keyboard surround, with a matt black chassis bottom and grille above the keyboard.

"The wristpad with its textured coating has been changed from the light grey finish of earlier models to a darker finish, making the whole thing look much classier when you open the lid."

Acer recently unveiled details of a new laptop it has created in collaboration with car manufacturer Ferrari.

The Ferrari 1200 includes a 12.1-inch LCD backlit display, an integrated slot-loaded DVD SuperMulti optical drive and AMD’s Turion X2 Ultra dual-core mobile technology.
