Acer is going all out with its new Core Duo based Aspire 9800 notebook. While the Aspire 9800 has some impressive hardware specifications to justify its estimated $2,600 price tag, the one feature garnering the most attention is its optional HD-DVD drive. This would make it the second announced HD-DVD notebook after the Qosmio G30. For one thing, it comes with a massive 20.1" TFT LCD display. Powering the 20.1" display is a GeForce Go 7600 GPU backed up with 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. Read more.

Its sad that won't do proper 1920x1200.

HD-DVDs should support 1920x1080 at 24 FPS progressive or something, wouldn't get full quality on that 20 inch screen.

The first person to find a 20.1 inch WUXGA (or higher) that will work in this gets a cookie. :)

A 20.1" display with only WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen that is terrible.

The pixels will be lego block sized, this size LCD on a laptop needs WQXGA (2560x1600) with dual DVI out for the Dell or Apple 30" external monitor support.
