Acer Aspire 8920G - Expert Reviews

Award: Recommended!

Review summary: If it�€™s a Blu-ray equipped desktop replacement you�€™re after, the 8920G is a fine choice.

Verdict: is unremarkable �€" the Asus idled for more than three hours and managed 1hr 37mins under heavy usage �€" but it�€™s not bad for such a huge laptop. Gaming performance is similarly modest; the Nvidia GeForce 9500M GS averaged 12fps in Crysis at 1280 x 102

Review summary: Is this the ideal Blu-ray notebook? With a Full HD, 16:9 ratio screen and Dolby Home Theatre audio it certainly sounds promising.

Verdict: Its clunky design and poor keyboard are disappointing, but the Acer Aspire 8920G delivers excellent performance and a very good film watching experience at a reasonable price. If this sounds like a good idea to you then its worth investigating further.

Review summary: Does the Blu-ray behemoth deliver?

Pros: Screen, Blu-ray player, HDMI

Cons: Weight, fusion of colours and materials a bit much, backlight bleed, Fn volume controls removed, sound not up to its billing

Verdict: The Aspire 8920G packs in a huge range of power specs at a price that is not too outlandish for what you get, but there are some niggles

Review summary: HD comes to laptops; full-fledged (1080p & 16:9), but is it good enough.

Pros: Excellent Performance, Good Gaming Ability, Full HD 1080p 16:9 Sharp Screen, Blu-Ray Drive, Well priced.

Cons: Heavy & Bulky, Average battery life, Build could have been better.
