Acer took its topographic point in line behind Toshiba to say it will release an HD DVD - packing laptop , the Aspire 9800 . This is give out to be one strange notebook computer , with a walloping 20.1 - inch 1680×1050 LCD . The matter is loaded for video recording of all types , including a 1.3 - megapixel webcam , and both analogue and digital TV receiving set feeding that self-aggrandising display . It ’s also HDCP compliant , with a DVI port in the back to hook up to an high-definition television . Acer hedged on that HD videodisc driving , though , mention that the laptop will ab initio ship in May with a videodisc burner , and would n’t say when the HD DVD thrust would be a part of the specification list .
Although it ’s neat the notebook computer will have such a vast screen , we ’re gravel at that oddball 1680×1050 resolution , frustratingly unforesightful of 1080p which will eventually be the lingua franca of HD DVD . And , at that big screen size , anything short of 1920×1200 is not what we would call country - of - the - artistic creation . Oh , well . Ca n’t have it all .
