 Beware Acer Customer Services November 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this model from Avides through Amazon and I really like it. The keyboard is great in low light but the buttons on the mousepad are stiff and noisey. The speed seemed very good. Hoewever, it only lasted about 3 days before it started to show the blue screen of death (a serious fault) and over the next 3 days the frequency of this event increased rapidly. I am not the sort who over-reacts - every manufacturer puts out a few duds. What you want is this situation is good support.
I phoned Acer who suggested a system reinstall (completely reinstalls Windows). The method they advised didn't work but I had made a set of recovery disks. (I would strongly advise you to do this if your manufacturer doesn't supply them. Acer doesn't!) With Vista reinstalled the blue screen just kept coming.
Phoned Acer again and they said it was a software fault. They would repair it for a fee of 70. I asked (politely) how they knew it was a software and not a hardware fault and why I should need to pay when the laptop was 1 week old! Acer's representative became rude and off-hand. He basically said. 'Because I say so and read the small print in the warranty.' He was right in as much as their warranty covers only the hardware, not the software - something I didn't realise at the time.
I returned the laptop to Avides who could not have been more helpful. They assessed the problem and found a replacement for me. They had no more stock of this model so they have sent me a similar one of higher spec. They sent my laptop back to Acer and guess what!..... Acer had to replace the motherboard and processor.
I have read elsewhere of Acer's poor customer support. It is true, they are awful. Remeber that your consumer rights are with the people you paid the money to, not the manufacturer.
Hard to beat this performance at this price August 8, 2008

I searched everywhere for 2GHz core 2 Duo in a laptop for under 500 and kept coming back to this Acer 5920, it really is hard to beat. Also, Acer extended warranties seem to be a third of the cost of many other brands too, (and include accidental damage), something I consider very important as laptops are more expensive to repair than desktops.
Positives are: fast processor for the price, lots of RAM, looks good, plenty of connectivity - USB slots firewire Card reader etc, adequate battery life, good sound and screen for viewing/sorting photos/music/video.
The only negatives are that although the screen is clear and bright, for critical imaging work the contrast is quite dependent on viewing angle: and the bundled software which is mostly worthless.

Great Laptop for the price but beware of the HDD space May 11, 2008

Great laptop for the price, but beware of the HDD space.
Its supposed to be 120GB, but you will not get that much space.
Acer say 1KB is 1000 bytes, but computers say 1KB is 1024 bytes (2^10...PCs like binary)
This is how PCs count it...
1KB = 2^10 bytes (1024 bytes)
1MB = 2^20 (1024 * 1024 bytes)
1GB = 2^30 (1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes)
This is how Acer counts it...
1KB = 1,000 bytes
1MB = 1,000,000 bytes
1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Acer say you have 120GB, which they count as 120,000,000,000 bytes
however: 120,000,000,000 / (2^30) = ~ 111.76 GB
So, you get 111.76 GB real HDD with this laptop. Then again Acer uses some hidden partition etc for recovery, which takes away 10GB. So you are left with around 100GB.
From 100GB, Windows Vista and Acer tools will take away around 20GB. So the remaining usuable space is around 80GB.

I'm happy with the performance... this spec (ignoring disk size) for 460-480 is good going (and significantly faster GHz for GHz and GB for GB than the desktop it was intended to usurp) even if the graphics are a little too weak for games (not particularly bothered apart from Portal) and the vertical viewing angle is extremely narrow (not that irritating though I do a lot of picture-editing) but...
...I went for free delivery which resulted in Home Delivery Network Limited leaving the package on a balcony in my stairwell where anyone could have nicked it despite two large-print requests in the stairwell to not do so - avoid this delivery method unless you're ALWAYS in...
...and the first unit I received developed an intermittent fault with the wi-fi and had to be returned...
...and the Q and S keys on the second unit scrape and only work if deliberately pushed firmly down from a very specific angle incompatible with touch-typing so a second return is required.
Unfortunately Amazon's policy appears to be that they won't send another replacement but will refund the cost though this means another trip out to the DHL depot to return the faulty unit using the pre-paid return label and another swap-everything-over, reinstall-everything and wipe-persinal-data faffing-session when the fresh-purchase replacement arrives; despite my misgivings with this make and model I shall be replacing it but this time shall pay for delivery and hope that a halfway-competent courier service is used...
