The Aspire 8942 will also house four USB 2.0 ports, 802.11a-n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ExpressCard, HDMI, a five-in-one card reader and more. An eight-cell battery will power the system, which weighs about 4.6kg (over 10lbs) — or about as much as two average 15″ notebooks, as stated by Fudzilla.http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16684/1/ .So that’s bulky i can say. There are no details on a price or availability as Fudzilla reported, but it seems likely that the Aspire 8942 will start shipping in January or shortly after.
