The 8943G measures 440 x 295 x 31/43.8 mm and weighs 4.6 kg, making it hard to bring on those long hauls. The brushed metal lid and interior helps minimise fingerprint marks and gives it a classy feel.
In terms of connectivity, the 8943G comes with five USB 2.0 ports, a 5-in-1 card reader (SD, MMC, MS, MS Pro, and xD), an e-SATA port, an IEEE 1394 port, HDMI, IR port, D-Sub port, headphone/speaker/line-out jack, microphone-in jack, line-in jack, Ethernet, and even an RF-in for digital TV cable input.
This notebook is ready for almost anything, thanks to its noteworthy specifications. It has an Intel Core i7-720 processor running at 1.6GHz, uses ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5850 as its graphics card, comes with 8GB of RAM, and can store up to 1.2TB of data. Also onboard are five built-in speakers and one subwoofer, a Blu-ray drive, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, and 8-cell battery.
Opening the lid reveals an 18.4-inch Full HD LED-backlit LCD screen, a webcamera, a chiclet keyboard with a dedicated numeric keypad, and a piano black touchpad that doubles as a media console. The unit also comes with three hotkeys that automatically launch the
Acer Backup Manager, Launch Manager (Bluetooth/Wireless toggle), and Arcade Deluxe (for Photo, Video, and Music).
