 A good machine March 14, 2008

This is a good laptop to buy if you want to be able to do a good range of tasks including playing games. I have had a few issues with mine mainly around graphics drivers but once you ditch the shocking ones that come with it and get some stable customised ones from Laptopvideo2go you can play any game (albeit at lower graphics settings in Crysis The Witcher). I have been using mine for 3D Graphics work and it has been working great except for one thing which is either because of Vista, the graphics drivers or maybe the laptop. If I close the laptop which should put it on standby it crashes when you reopen it again, frustrating but not a problem after the first two times.
Brilliant machine March 3, 2008

Brilliant machine. br / br /I've had mine about a month now and I'm very happy with it. Nice styling, very good performance and great screen. Very good spec for the price but if you want to get the most out of the graphics card you will need to install a modded version of the most recent NVidia drivers. br / br /Wi-fi reception is excellent and I find the card reader a very handy addition. I don't have any HD disks but the DVD writer works well and it's great for playing DVD's - best sound I've ever come across on a laptop without using external speakers. The build-in web cam (and stereo mike) is also surprisingly good. br / br /Build quality seems fairly solid, bit of movement in the keyboard and key travel is fairly short, but nothing that detracts from using it. The touch sensitive "media player" buttons on the right-hand side are a pain - too easy to trigger by brushing against them. You can adjust their sensitivity or disable them - I found the latter the best solution since in normal use I don't need them. br / br /The laptop isn't particularly slim or light, but with everything that's packed into it that isn't surprising - at the same time it isn't a huge beast and is reassuringly solid. Battery life is pretty much what you'd expect, a couple of hours with normal use for me. br / br /Acer have a poor rep for customer service, but I always go back to the vendor rather than the manufacturer if there is a problem (know your rights) and I've always found Amazon very helpful on the few occasions I've had need to. All in all a very nice laptop and for me a pretty good desktop replacement. br / br /
Great laptop for the price March 1, 2008

I have had this Acer Aspire 5920G laptop for just over one month and it has proved to be a really good purchase. It handles picture files and slide shows very well including the fact that many of the pictures are very large. The screen is a gem and has no problems even when the battery is running down. Jolly glad of the large 250 hard drive well worth the extra, handles video streaming smoothly. Just what I needed. br / br /Internet connection via WiFi is so good thanks to it's very senative arial I pick up 5 other networks in my local area as well as my own. br / br /Go on treat yourself this is a really fab machine, and the light coloured keys with dark lettering are a boon when it comes to using the keyboard in dim light the keys can be seen so much easier than on my old laptop which had a black keyboard with white letters on. br / br /Great computer!
Excellent laptop - slightly shaky build but a great deal overall February 27, 2008

I bought this laptop in January 2008 and have had an excellent experience with it thus far. br / br /PROS br / br /Spec ,Spec, Spec... br / br /The machine is very well specced and is as future-proofed as you are going to get at this price range. Then again, someone who is hell bent on getting the most highly specced laptop is not going to be looking at ACER but more likely at an Alienware or Dell XPS. br / br /I can't think of more laptop muscle for the money. It has the latest Centrino platform Santa Rosa, a decent Core 2 duo processor and a nice 2gb of RAM. br / br /The 250GB hard drive is a good capacity for those without mega music collections. Although if you do have acres of data, as external drives are dirt cheap now, expansion is easy. br / br /The screen is bright and easy to read at the native resolution. br / br /The graphics card, whilst not the 8600m GT version, is good enough to play previous generation games at a good framerate (call of duty 2, Half Life 2) but I have not yet tested it on any of the latest games. It does run Oblivion reasonably well but you have to update the drivers from Laptop2go... br / br /Nice connectivity - USB x4 and Firewire. br / br /Turbocache - well actually I can't say I've notice the difference - Vista still seems to chug along at a miserly pace. Still, better than a kick in the teeth eh? br / br /The inbuilt speakers are excellent for a laptop. Nice volume - but hey ACER, let's not call the speaker under the keyboard a "subwoofer" eh? It's smaller than some headphone drivers... br / br /Battery life excellent for this spec br / br /CONS br / br /I am used to using IBM Thinkpad machines and whilst it is unfair to draw parallels between these and the ACER given the disparity between the prices, I must say that the keyboard on the ACER leaves plenty to be desired. The keys appear flimsy and the action is less than confident. br / br /The touchpad is woeful. It is not recessed which means that it is all too easy to touch inadvertently. I have taken to using an external mouse and disabling the touchpad (FN+F7) which improves matters considerably but this doesn't get around the fact that it is poorly designed on an ergonomic front. br / br /The case is not too hard wearing. I packed it in a bag which was a little too tight and the screen suffered some pixel damage due to the top of the case impacting the screen upon the ledge under the spacebar. Not great. br / br /The volume knob is a continuous adjuster which operates only in software. Therefore, you cannot adjust the volume until Windows is fully loaded. A small point but it is annoying if you turn the power on whilst in a train/plane/public space and you previously had the volume at a high level. br / br /Windows Vista - but that's not ACER's fault. I installed two Windows XP partitions beside the Vista partition - one for using the PC with Cubase SX and the other for gaming under XP - so now have a triple boot system. Was a nightmare to get it configured and find the correct drivers but you should see this laptop screeeammm under XP. Lightning fast. br / br /The drive is HD-DVD compatible. Now Toshiba have pulled the plug this isn't such a great deal... br / br /OVERALL br / br /Great laptop for the money. There are cheaper and there are faster, but this is positioned at a particularly desirable sweet spot which hooked me and I am delighted with my purchase. br /

I'm surprised with the few negative reviews. I bought mine from another retailer as Amazon didn't have it in stock; I paid 799 for it last August and got the one with the integrated Bluetooth. I've not had any problems with it so far and mainly use it for CAD, music and gaming. Despite what some of the computer press said, I think it's a great design and certainly stands out from the crowd. I've even played Crysis on it, not many laptops can do that! All in all it's a great machine and I thoroughly recommend it. Now that it's going for 640 you'd be mad not to consider this little gem.
