Reviews for the Acer Aspire 9802WKMi
Source: PC Pro Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire AS9802WKMi takes the recent trend for desktop-replacement notebooks to an extreme, with its wide-aspect TFT measuring 20.1in diagonally, and running at 1,680 x 1,050. The screen is nearly an inch thick, and the whole machine weighs a colossal 7.8kg - about three times that of an average notebook. The CPU at the heart of the system is an Intel Core Duo T2300, which, along with 1GB of RAM, pushed the Aspire to an overall score of 1.02 in our application benchmarks. You get discrete graphics too, in the form of Nvidia's GeForce Go 7300. Our 3D benchmarks returned scores of 13fps in Far Cry and 12fps in Call of Duty at our low settings; if you need more power, you could opt for the 9804, which comes with 7600 graphics. An impressive attempt at a good-value portable PC, but the ergonomics let it down;

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 is a middle class video card of the 7000 series and suited for games of the year 2006. The performance is very similar to ATI X1600 / X1700. Compared to the desktop 7600 it is clearly slower.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

20.10":
This format exists for huge desktop replacement laptops (DTR) and stationary screens for desktop computers and is very rare.
DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and power hunger do not matter.

Only desktop devices or large monitors should have such a weight.

73.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
