...but the price!

I've bought an Acer 8930G with 1080p screen and Blu-ray, T6400 cpu and 4Gb DDR3 for this sort of price. Why so much for so much less?

Portability?

The 8930G weighs nearly 4kg but this weighs less than 2kg. That's what you're paying for with the 4810T, plus the battery life.

Acer Aspire laptops

Open the slim-line lid and you’ll find the same gun-metal casing with a black keyboard. The keys have plenty of space around them and float quite high above the main board. We found it an incredibly smooth keyboard to use but it’s also quite loud, with the keys making a heavy thump as you type.The touchpad is a little on the small side but you’ll find it has multi-gesture controls, so zooming into documents is incredibly easy, for example. Instead of two mouse buttons you’ll find a single bar. It sits in a small recess, so you won’t accidentally strike the keys when typing, which is a nice touch. We also like the addition of a separate button allowing you to switch the touchpad off, great for when typing on the move.
