No compromise!

(5 out of 5) by Mr. D. Gater on Dec 20, 2008 (Kilmarnock, UK)
There's really only one word to sum up this laptop - wow!

I can't believe Acer are making any profit on these units because for £430 you aren't compromising on anything. The combination of the Core2Duo processor and 4GB of memory means that you aren't left waiting for anything to load. From sleep Windows boots in 3 seconds. From a full shutdown startup it takes around 10 seconds to boot up - simply stunning performance!

The display (aided by the 256MB dedicated ATI graphics card) is crystal clear and even in bright conditions glare is minimal. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on how the graphics card would hold up under stress however for general use it is superb. An integrated webcam wasn't a deal breaker for me however I was really impressed with the clarity of the picture - and it has a built in microphone for can be used for skype/video conferencing.

The 5 in 1 card reader is a sinch to use and again the pictures look amazing on the display.

With the Dolby Home Theatre sound system with subwoofer the sound quality is impressive. A nice touch is that there is volume toggle on the front of the case which gives means you don't have to go into the Windows utility to change the volume. The combination of the sound and display really gives the laptop an extra dimension of being a portable DVD player - which is handy as it will be coming with us on a holiday to Florida to keep our 2 year old entertained!

I was concerned with various reviews I had read regarding the quality of the keyboard however I can't fault it. The keys feel sturdy without much travel which assists those who like to type fast.

There are three main battery profiles along with a custom option. I am using the balanced profile and have achieved over 2 hours use each time however the supporting documentation says the battery life improves after several full charge/drain cycles.

Apart from the technology its also aesthetically pleasing. The top of the case is glossy black and whilst this will show up any scratches it picks up over its lifetime it looks brilliant. The inside of the laptop is a creamy white which gives it quite a warm appearance and also helps when typing in low light conditions. I was concerned about the inside colour when I ordered it however I would actually include this criteria in future purchases as a plus point.

Basically I can't fault this laptop at all and for the price its simply a steal and I would highly recommend it.

great laptop

(5 out of 5) by M. Beech on Nov 8, 2008 (UK)
i brought this laptop about a week ago and i am very impressed with it so far.
the built in radeon hd 3470 graphics card provides very good game and movie graphics, combine this with the dual core 2ghz cpu's which puch out 4ghz of power and the 4gig of ram in this beast you get what you pay for.
the battery life is well over 2 hours on a full charge providing you are running the machine on the balenced power plan.
the only annoying thing i found with this machine was when i first set it up the touch sensitive media controll's that run along the right side of the keyboard are very easy to trip accidently which promts the media player to open every time but this is easily fixed by changing the setting in the controll pannel so there not as sensitive.
the built in speakers and subwoofer, (yes it has a subwoofer on the bottom of it) provide a decent level of sound and pretty sound good quality aswell.
also the built in webcam is of suprisingly good quality and has good resolution for a built in.
over all this laptop is very good and well worth the money. i hope this review has been helpful to anyone considering this machine.

How cheap?

(5 out of 5) by P. Wareing on Dec 3, 2008
Acer astonish me on how they produce such good valued, top specs laptops. This laptop features a good screen size, and is of good picture quality. This is partly due to an ATI graphics card, which enhances good colours on screen. The laptop performs exceptionally well, a lot better than I could imagine for something so cheap. The Intel core 2 duo processor combined with 4GB of RAM, lets it power through many programs, even power hungry ones!

Although it has windows premium edition which claims to have good and improved security features, I have installed Mcaffee 2009 edition. This I find is very useful and can help you to create back ups of all your work as well as top quality online protection. The 250GB HDD will easily cope with storage of any files, and will take an awful lot of them to completely fill this up.

Very happy I purchased.

ACER 5920G REVIEW

(4 out of 5) by Mr. C. M. Lynch on Dec 30, 2008 (Liverpool)
I bought this Laptop for my Daughter for Christmas, as a dual present. You already know all the specs so I wont waste your time, other models though have not got the Radeon Graphics card so be careful. This is a powerful laptop and worth every penny. I searched for two weeks for a good spec and finally came across this. I know for the price it hasn't Blue Ray but if it did it would be worth £600 like other sites sell it for. If your not sure about this, take my word for it, this Laptop is fantastic and worth every penny spent on it. Christy

Aspire 5920g

(5 out of 5) by L. Harvey on Feb 11, 2009
After pondering for over 5weeks and reading review after review we finally took the plunge and went for this model.Game speed for the kids was the deciding factor as well as the competitive price.The whole family is more than happy with it as it is the main cause of arguments in the house now because of its speed and ease of use. no more sitting at a desk like at work, relax in the lounge and put your feet up. Considering buying another to stop the arguments.Acer Aspire 5920G 15.4-inch Laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo T5750, Vista Home Premium, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Blu-ray Drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
