Advantages: Its an Acer, and the Specs and Features are brill!

Disadvantages: The graphics card is lamer than lame.

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 to play anything but the basics. GTA Vice City, Football Manager 2009 play fine.

The DVD Drive, which some websites advertise as being Blu-Ray... well... isnt. Its a basic Dual Layer DVD Drive which is specified as a Multi-Recorder.

So, now my gripes are out of the way, what is good about it? Well, its great. Its fast, looks sleek, and is made by the best Laptop specialist in the world - Acer. But, its for the basic user. Possibly a reliable business computer. But if its gaming you want, at the same price as this, then the 5920G is a better alternative. With an nVidia Graphics card, that makes the 5920G a better spec'd Lappy than this already. Not sure about the DVD Drive on that, but its certainly worth looking at the 5920G before committing to this one. And its always better to enquire about the specs before buying... something I know now, and wish I had done before buying this one. I want some gaming, and this doesnt offer that.

Also, I recommend Windows XP. Vista takes up memory!
