The $1000 Acer Aspire 6930G is a great candidate for a home media machine. Offering an attractive design for an Acer laptop and combining some pretty stellar specs for the price point.
The 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor will keep you app switching and the 16″ display and the Nvidia GeForce 9600M will allow for some minor gaming and great movie watching. Even without the Blu-Ray drive, this litlte laptop is powerful enough to get you through for a few more years.
A little heavy at 7.2 pounds, the 6930G is a true laptop, so you can expect the full package here.
Overall, at under $1000, you won’t beat the Acer for a simple home media machiene. Sure, there are better laptops out there. But this system is ready to go for a good price.
If you’re eying it, go ahead and buy.
