Acer Aspire 5920G

Anyone wanting a powerful laptop for a decent price ideal for web-browsing, data storage, work and multimedia functions could do a lot worse than the Acer 5920. It is nippy even when running a range of demanding applications and doesn't suffer from overheating as much as some laptops can.

I have to say that from my own opinion, this is the worst laptop/computer system that i have ever experienced. this laptop, is slow to react, the camera at the top of the screen keeps fogging up. The bettery life on this thing is absolutly awful, i couldnt use it for 2 hours before it shut down. the laptop is big, thick and bulkey. not ideal, even for walking around the house. for me, the only way to get the best out of this acer laptop, is to constantly leave it on charge, while you are using it. but if you ask me, that is a waste of electricit, and for the extra bit of money you could get a half decent laptop, that can do everything that you would expect it to ...  Read the complete review
