Then I backed up existing partitions and installed Kubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 (32-bit edition). I tried Kubuntu live CD to check that it would work properly with most hardware detected. This laptop came with Badvista campaign Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) pre-installed (I believe newest ones now come with Windows Vista). Fortunately, one can now find 20" laptop bags.īest things of all, it's not so expensive: it is usually sold below 2'000 € (as of late 2006). Quality is correct, though some parts seem to be a bit fragile: this machine weights 7.8 kg, and care should be taken when it's moved (it's about 3 times as heavy as a "normal" laptop !). Some versions (9814WKMI_TCGF2024, like mine) come with 2 120 GB SATA hard drives, which make the computer a real desktop replacement. Performances are quite good, thanks to a Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core processor, 2 Gb of RAM, and decent NVIDIA graphic card. Maximum resolution is sufficient for daily use, though it could have been a little higher. The 20" widescreen display is simply amazing, i.e clear, bright, and accurate. It comes with a TV tuner (that doesn't work on linux yet), built-in webcam and microphone, WiFi, bluetooth, and basically everything you can expect from a high-end laptop. ACER 9814 WKMi is a full-featured, multimedia laptop, that's actually more a desktop computer you can occasionally carry from one place to another, rather than a real, nomad laptop.
