9-Nov-2007 Nathan: Is this laptop pretty much one of the best out? I bought the first 5920 which was a similar spec and this one seems to be the same but £200 cheaper! Bargain!

Easycom: Yes this is one of the top specification laptops out. It is also a very similar spec to the first 5920 but without the turbo memory but for less of £200 it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to take.

Easycom: This as it has a better graphics card.

10-Nov-2007 Dean: Ok, would the graphics card in this laptop be suitable for newer modern games, such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Easycom: It is OK for most games but not modern games such as COD4 as the graphics card is not designed for performance 3D gaming - For that, you should look for a laptop in the gaming section.

11-Nov-2007 PJ: Is it possible to get a US style keyboard instead of UK one? I'm talking about diffrent sign locations, for example "@" in UK is where comma is and in US one it's where "2" is. I know you can change the settings in Windows but it's just a matter of being used to US keyboard.

Easycom: No.

11-Nov-2007 Llwydyn: You state that you can watch TV on it - does it have a TV tuner or would you have to buy it as a recommended accessory?

Easycom: You would have to buy it.

11-Nov-2007 Dem: Are you able to watch TV out of the box by plugging in an aerial, or do you have to buy an adapter? Would I be able to change the memory of the laptop to 800mhz memory myself?

12-Nov-2007 Dan: Does it still the 8600M GT, because in the specs the graphics card is now listed as the x1300.

Easycom: No it now has an X1300 graphics card.

12-Nov-2007 Ronan: The grpahics card is now listed as an ``ATI X1300 Integrated Graphics'' but it was a NVidia 8600 GT yesterday. Is this just a mistake or what?

Easycom: Acer informed us incorrectly of the card inside the laptop. We have since rectified this error.

12-Nov-2007 Eva Wright: Can you downgrade to Windows XP Professional?

Easycom: No.

11-Nov-2007 skid: If there's no Turbo/Hypermemory on the graphics card does this still outperform the TM5720 on directX9 games? Is it white/silver/grey inside and does it show marks / dirt (I travel a lot) or is it distracting when watching DVDs?

Easycom: Yes it will. No it will not show dirt and it is not distracting.

12-Nov-2007 RM1: I figured the price was too good to be true, that X1300 card is rubbish in comparison to the NVIDIA 8600. Do the other Acers in have the same card or does the cheaper one still have the NVIDIA card?

Easycom: No, the first 2 5920's have the Nvidia card, one of which we still sell.

12-Nov-2007 Dean: I asked recently which was better between this laptop and the Acer TravelMate 5720G-302G16 LX.TK30X.033. Since then the information on the graphics card has changed. Which laptop out of the 2 would you recommend now and why?

Easycom: The 5720G as it has a better graphics card.

12-Nov-2007 V: Hi. How much dedicated memory does the X1300 have?

Easycom: 236Mb.

12-Nov-2007 dean: Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this particular model to a better one?

Easycom: I would say yes as it has a better ingetrated graphics set up and an extra gig of RAM.

20-Nov-2007 Andy: which graphics card is better the Nvidia 8600 or the x1300 and is the x1300 still recommended for playing the recent games such as call of duty 4 modern warfare just as the graphics card has changed ?

Easycom: I assume you are reffereing to the NVIDIA GeForce 8600, as the NVIDIA card has dedicated memory for graphics the X1300 is shared memory from the system RAM. Therefore the NVIDIA card will be better for overall performance and will be better at running the latest and future 3D games.

16-Nov-2007 avi: i want this laptop with nvidia card 256 mb deicated memory will i get it

Easycom: Unofrtunately not as it doesn't have an NVIDIA graphics card and can not be upgraded.

21-Nov-2007 Tom: Why did they change the graphics card on the LX.AKV0X.108? and will they ever sell the model at this price with the 8600M GT again?

Easycom: The specification showing the 8600M GT was incorrect this model has the Intel graphics card.

14-Nov-2007 Tanvir: Hi, How much dedicated and integrated shared memory does the X1300 have? Is it suitable for playing latest games?

Easycom: This is an integrated card, for the latest games i would recommend a laptop with a dedicated graphics card.

13-Nov-2007 k13ran: Please could you give me the link to an acer gemstone that has the gt graphics card which you still sell because i'm a bit confused

Easycom: Have a look at LX.AN60X.041

Easycom: Have a look at LX.AWZ0X.215

23-Nov-2007 neil: doe this laptop have hdmi?

Easycom: No it doesn't

26-Nov-2007 JasonB: Is it possible for Acer to change the graphics card in this model? I was more interested in it when it listed the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card.

Easycom: Unfortunately not.

18-Nov-2007 bradley: Does this laptop have dedicated graphics, and will it be all right playing games like Halo and Age of Empires?

Easycom: This laptop has a graphics card with shared memory. Therefore it will struggle with the latest 3D games.

17-Nov-2007 Ollie: Is this suitable for playing online games such as world of warcraft?

Easycom: It should run this, however it will struggle with the latest 3D games due to the graphics card.

24-Nov-2007 Neil: you say it doesn't have hdmi, the picture has a n arrow that states 'hdmi', so what outputs other than vga does it have, i need one with hdmi or dvi, can u recommend one?

Easycom: The picture was of a model with an HDMI port, however this has S-video out but not VGA.

25-Nov-2007 Tarek: What is the specification of the webcam?

Easycom: It is a 0.3 megapixel camera

7-Dec-2007 Paul: Which is the better Graphics card the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 256MB or the Intel X3100 GMA. I am having to choose between this laptop and the Acer Aspire 7720G - 1A2G24mi-LX.ALNOX.249. I think I am right in saying this has a faster processor though the 7720G has a larger HD 240GB. I am mainly going to use it for surfing net and general emails though mainly to transfer from Camcorder to disc, I am sure this is possibly a better spec machine though I can always buy an additional HD to add? any thoughts on this. PLEASE your views as it is so misleading and confussing being a first time buying of a laptop. Many many thanks

Easycom: The NVIDIA is the better graphics card,. The 5920 has the faster processor, where the 7720G has the larger hard drive. Both are similar specifications where one has a faster processor and the opther better graphics card. Both laptops will be fine for the kind of use you describe, personally I would sacrifice the processor sped and opt for a better graphics card and a larger screen especially if you are looking at playing games or editing videos.

19-Dec-2007 Val: Which is the better performing laptop, this one or the 9304_LX.AWP0X.197? I tend to have a few programmes running at the same time so want something that can cope with this. Not used for gaming, just multimedia coursework and other such stuff.

Easycom: Both have a dual core processor, however the 5920 has a faster clock speed. Although the 9304 has a larger hard drive and screen. I would suggest that both have a similar performance for general use however for high demanding graphic applications I would say the 9304

21-Dec-2007 D!l63RT: I'm a microsoft partner and would use my own copy of an x64 OS - can this model be purchased with out the OS? The memory upgrade offer...is it to 4 Gig? How much extra?

Easycom: Unfortunately we cannot supply this model with out the operating system however you format the hard drive and install your copy. Please call us to discuss your upgrade requirements.

5-Jan-2008 typhoon9: Does the LX.AKV0X.108 have a Intel GMA X3100 Graphics card as mentioned in the specs or an ATI X1300 which alot of people seem to think. many thanks

Easycom: Hi, it definitely has the GMA X3100, and is listed on www.acer.co.uk

5-Jan-2008 Tossy: Hi, I want to buy a laptop and i'm considering the T5450 LX.AKV0X.146 or the T7300 LX.AKV0X.108. I just want to use it for school work generally, watching movies, and downloading musics. Which of the two would you recommend?

Easycom: Why not save yourself some money and get LX.AKV0X.146, both would be plenty powerful enough for your requirements.

5-Mar-2008 cookster: In the product Spec for the LX.AKV0X.108 it has 1 x display / video - HDMI. Is this a HDMI port on the laptop? IF not what model has the HDMI port (I dont what a HD_DVD DRIVE model)

Easycom: This is a HDMI Video Out port for displaying directly onto High Definition TVs. It does not feature a HD-DVD drive.

15-Apr-2008 karen: Does this laptop have any program installed already?

Easycom: Yes. It comes with Acer Launch Manager, Norton Internet Security, NTI CD-Maker, CyberLink PowerProducer, Acer GridVista, Adobe Reader, Acer Empowering Technology, Microsoft Works 8.5, Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (Trial), Acer Arcade Deluxe, Acer PureZone installed on it.

15-Apr-2008 karen: Will this laptop run The sims 2 and its expansion easily?

Easycom: Yes It can run. but we recommend laptop with dedicated graphics memory card for gamming.

30-Apr-2008 Seoirseo: I use Photoshop for image manipulation & Adobe Premier for very occasional video editing, not interested in games at all, how will the supplied graphics card work with these applications?

Easycom: Its fine for these softwares. But we recomend to upgrade its memory.

9-May-2008 Stephen: would this laptop be able to play call of duty 2 and battlefield 2?

Easycom: You should look at the 5920G instead - the G is for Gaming :)

24-May-2008 Eastern: Im looking at buying but i have a few questions regarding graphics. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card? and will upgrading be expensive?

Easycom: The graphics cant be upgraded unfortunately, because they are soldered onto the circuit board rather than having a removable card like a desktop PC.

27-Jan-2008 typhoon9: Does it come with windows home premium 32bit or 64bit ?

Easycom: Its 32bit.

23-Feb-2008 lamari: I want to buy a laptop for general school work, watching films, downloading music and transferring pictures and videos from my camcorder. I tend to use several applications at the same time and have lots of pics and videos to save. Won't be used for games. Essential: no loud fan noise. Any recommendations?

Easycom: If you donot have budget restriction then this machine is ideal for you. However i recommend (LX.ALC0Y.143 , LX.E870Y.139 , LX.ALE0X.004, LX.EA40Y.111, LX.TKT0X.130 ) any one of these.

2-Jul-2008 veritas: In the package deals the free laptop bag and mouse option has gone, if i order just the laptop now will i receive the bag and mouse later or is this option not available any more.

Easycom: Order product code BUN/LX.AKV0X.108/1227 and you will get the free bag and mouse with this laptop.

14-Jul-2008 Cb.: Can you put Mircosoft office (Ms Word, Ms Publisher, Ms Excel etc) from a cd on to the laptop?

Easycom: This can be purchased from the software section of our site - It will work fine with this laptop.

17-Jul-2008 Wimble: Is the 5920 or the 7520 a better buy for a teenager using internet, watching DVD, playing games, music plus word processing etc.

Easycom: For gaming, I would recommend either the 5920G (15 inch) or 7720G (17 inch) - depending on which size laptop you would like.

13-Aug-2008 Tim: Would this laptop be able to play oblivion?

Easycom: Hmm, oblivion is a very graphically challenging game for a laptop and this model just has an integrated Intel card. I would recommend looking for something with a dedicated graphics card of 256mb.

25-Aug-2008 Sunny: Hi, I'm a bit confused about the buy now, pay 12 months option. How much would I be paying monthly for 12 months? I don't have to pay interest if I clear the amount in 12 months? Thanks Sunny

Easycom: The amount is payable in full any time within the 12 months. There is no monthly amount taken but if the amount owed is not paid back with the timescales agreed then you will go onto a 36 month payment scheme with interest charged.

16-Sep-2008 Josh: Need a laptop for internet, skype video calls , some work - ie powerpoint, word, excel and also storing photos to add online - I previously was a mac user but due to cost that isnt an option - would this be the best value I could get with built in camera and microphone

Easycom: This laptop has won awards at its higher price and has sold well since since release. For the jobs you need it for, the 5920 will handle them with ease.

19-Sep-2008 GRA: Hi, what is the battery life please and would this laptop be suitable for runnin a professional CAD programme

Easycom: Unfortunately this model only has a shared graphics card. Something with an Nvidea or ATi dedicated card with a fairly high res screen would do the job.

20-Sep-2008 bips: Hi Easycom, I've bought this laptop and have been loving it so far. It's been only 1 day. It's a really nice config. Just a little thing though - could you tell me why F11 key does not work in this one? My friend has got the same model and I have confirmed from him also, the key is not working in his laptop either. Is there any place where we have to go and activate it or something like that?

peterh: F11 and F12 are used by the Acer VCM application - If you disable this software application, you will regain standard use of these buttons.

15-Apr-2008 Sargeant Steve: JESUS!!! I bougth my laptop 2 years ago (Acer Aspire 5051AWXMI) and that was the same price. And this one is alot better than mine for the same price!!! I think ill have to buy a new one!!!
