Acer has always been a global powerhouse, but the company has had a relatively anemic presence in the United States. Now that it has merged with Gateway (the two brands are still being treated as separate), we are seeing some inroads from Acer in this country, starting with a particularly bold move, the launch of the first laptop we’ve seen with an 18.4-inch display. The display has the same native resolution as a 1080p HDTV, and coupled with a Blu-ray drive and a unique set of touch-sensitive media controls, it’s an impressive package for moviewatchers.

The good: First 18-inch display we’ve seen; true 16:9 aspect ratio; inventive media control panel mimics a remote control.

The bad: Higher-end model is twice as much as lower-end version, despite minimal specification differences; minor Blu-ray control issues; we expected better bass from a system with a subwoofer.

The bottom line: With Blu-ray and a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8920 is a movie fan’s dream, but we’d go for the cheaper of Acers’ two preconfigured models.
