ACER 5920G REVIEW – AN ASPIRING COMBINATION OF GOODIES

The design of Acer's 5000 versions, which is recognized by the name 'Gemstone' has the prospective of being a landmark in terms of Acer's laptop design. We do not like to be told again about the old Aspire series, whose cases profoundly suffered from constancy tribulations. The Gemstone blueprint distorted a lot. Nonetheless, they lastly also look excellent and undoubtedly idiosyncratic from other brands.

Design

These days the Acer Aspire 6920G marks a new course. Once more, a new-fangled design is launched, which is noticeably based on the preceding Gemstone blueprint, but, conveys a lot of changes about. The most significant dissimilarity is the ground-breaking display, which bring about a new system of the case.

Performance

Acer powers the Aspire 6920G with most recent constituents by Intel and NVidia. The reviewed laptop came planted with a Penryn CPU, a T8100 with 2.1 GHz and 3 MB L2- memories Cache. Even though this is at present the slightest powered Penryn CPU, its presentation is nonetheless better when compared to one of the equally clocked Merom CPU produced by Intel.

The display of the notebook has a display resolution of 1366x768 pixels, so, it does not sustain full High Definition resolution (1900x1080 pixels), but only lesser resolutions in 16:9 facet ratio. On the other hand, Acer renders also an Aspire 6920G with a genuine full high definition display.
The dimensions of the keys are measured at 18mm x 18mm and the layout is customary, apart from additional keys for euro & dollar positioned next to the cursor keys. The Acer Aspire 6920G is planted with a 4400 mAh Li-Ion battery (48.8 Watt hour rating), which should make a travelable runtime probable. A maximum runtime of 165 minutes was observed. Regrettably the clamor of the fan is a little bit too piercing, particularly if run with low load. On the contrary, the exterior temperatures of the Aspire 6920G are extremely low.

Overall
The Acer Aspire 6920G established to be a good laptop in our test. With the decent processor speeds and ably supported RAM and a configuration put together to rule the sector. The gaming attitude of the notebook is also decent enough, but could have been a bit more enhanced. The Battery life is good, and an overall cool performance, but still can be improved.

Pros
