Acer Aspire 5920-302G16MN

DESIGN This is an ugly fugly laptop, I'm serious! When you first see a laptop, what do you see? The answer the laptop itself and you better hope that this one was closed because on the exterior it looks like an average laptop with an average glossy screenback but when you open it it up all you see is beige beige beige. Its rather off(white). As I manage a chain of computer superstores I can pretty much review any laptop that takes my fancy and after spending half a day on this one I can get a pretty good Idea on it and peoples opinions. Everyone I asked instore said that if they were to purchase a laptop on looks alone they wouldn't buy this ...  Read the complete review

When my trusty Compaq laptop finally died after five and a half years' loyal service, I was dreadfully disappointed but managed to pull myself together and start searching for a replacement. After searching in several places and having several telephone consultations with my dad (who knows far more about these things than I do), I settled on the Acer. My primary consideration was price, and at under £400 this laptop was less than half the price of my previous laptop. Acer has a good reputation, or so I'm told, and this was another important factor. When I received the laptop I was very impressed with how it looked. To be honest I really wanted a ...  Read the complete review

i managed to snap one of these up online for £399.99 i added an extra 1gb RAM stick to up it up to 3gb. Speed. it features the Core 2 Duo T7300 processor at 2ghz with a very nice 800 Mhz FSB, i tried several things to determine how fast it can perform with several things opening, i fired up windows media player and Age of empires both at the same time, they loaded quite slow and i wasnt sure why but i then found out from reading the manual that there are 3 different performance settings that can be enabled on the power options which are Balanced, Power Saver and High Performance so obviously i kicked it to high and loading was about 5x faster but ...  Read the complete review

Purchased through 'Amazon Warehouse' was described as 'slight cosmetic blemishes' when recieved there was nothing of the sort. Laptop was in pristine condition. Excellent value for money, but make sure that the model you purchase has the GeForce graphics chipset to make it more usuable in a modern gaming context. Whilst this laptop is quite large and is not great for someone on the move it is quite light for the size. I would consider this if you are looking for a desktop replacement rather than something inherently portable. One of the USB connecters now seems to be faulty, however as there is 2 others this is not much of an issue. Comes with ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can you say abou the Aspire 5920? Well, we could talk about its Core 2 Duo processor, which is speedy as hell. We could talk about its 250Gb HDD for all your music, programs, pictures and so on. We couldnt talk about the 2Gb memory, which allows Vista to perform at an optimum performance. Or we could talk anout the Doly Home Theatre Sound technology the Laptop has. Maybe the CristalBrite LCD Display, Widescreen. The really thing to talk about, though, is the Graphics card and the DVD Drive. No Call of Duty for this little Baby, because Intel cant make a decent Graphics Card for the life of them. No Far Cry, nothing. Dont expect ...  Read the complete review
