Review of Acer Aspire 5920G Notebook

The first thing you will notice about the Acer 5920G is the sheer physical size of the unit itself.

This is not a small laptop, nor is it an ultra-portable.Weighing in at almost 3kg, it is more suited as a desktop replacement. That being said, the design is a very trendy and modern one. Of course, taste is a personal thing, but most people will like it as it is unique and different from other laptops. It does stand out from the crowd. It is more of a wedge shaped laptop with curves, and it serves to break away from the traditional design of squared off and sharp edges.

This laptop brims with quality wherever you look. Some people have commented on the greysih and cream coloured interior to be ugly. Those might be the people who can't accept changes, and too afraid to break away from the norm of having a stark black laptop. Too bad for them, as the light cream coloured inside of this laptop is a much welcome change from the norm, and I think it looks great.


The one thing that you will soon realize with this laptop is the specs, and thus the value for money. For the same amount of money, you will be hard pressed to find a similar speced laptop.

It is a pretty high end machine. Let's take a look at the specs here and you will have an idea what I mean. It has the latest core 2 Duo technology with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, which ensures that you will not experience any slow down running the preloaded Vista OS. It also has a 8600M-GT dedicated graphics card with 256MB, which means it will also satisty the mobile gamer, and will run even the latest games with no issues. There is also a 160GB SATA hard drive and dual-layer DVD/RW drive which provides the primary storage options. This is really a value for money machine, considering the retail price of USD$1520. It is not in the same league in overall quality as a Sony Vaio for instance, but for the price, you are getting a lot already.
