ACER Aspire 8943G | Dixons |

just reading a few reviews, maybe a bit heavy for a photographer on the road as it has an 18.4 inch monitor and weighs in at 4.6Kg, I think the one I use at present weighs under 1KG and packs easily into my backpack, but the computing power isn't anywhere near as good as this beast that is the Aspire 8943G from Acer!
