Acer is about to unveil a new line of laptops meant to fit the needs of those looking for the most powerful desktop-replacement mobiles (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/mobile/0,39020360,39147987,00.htm) available. Weighting at 16 pounds, these have to be the heaviest laptops around but at the same time are easier to carry than any SFF system while still carrying a 17" screen, 7,200 rpm hard drives and the fastest desktop CPUs available.

The notebook model will also sport 1GB of RAM, a DVD burner, Nvidia's GeForce FX Go5700 graphics card and 802.11g wireless networking, according to Acer's Web site.
