28-Aug-2008 Wind-pig: I'm looking to purchase a laptop for video editing. Do any of your laptops come with firewire? I'm looking at the Acer Aspire 8920G Gemstone Blue Laptop.

Easycom: The 8920G does not use Firewire, in favour of using High-Speed USB2.0 instead. If you need firewire, look at the 9920G or 7720G - Please check the technical specification before buying, as some models do not have the firewire port - but the ones with it will have it listed under 'Expansion/Connectivity - Interfaces' in the technical specification. Look for IEEE 1394 or Firewire (same thing).

9-Sep-2008 ct2287: Hi, I was wondering if you could answer my question: I'm likely to get the Acer Aspire 8920G Gemstone Blue Laptop - LX.AP50X.342, so it will have Windows Vista Home Premium I think, will I have to also buy Office 2007? Or could I use Office 2003/2000 without any problems??? Thanks

Easycom: You can use older versions of Office with Vista with no problems at all.

20-Sep-2008 bobsmikl: what is the better choise for gaming and general computing, the acer 6920G or this, the 8920G ?

peterh: The 6920G is basically a 16-inch version of the 8920G - You won't notice a difference between the two in terms of gaming or general computing performance. If you require better portability then I would suggest the 6920G over the 8920G as it is smaller and lighter, but the 8920G does have an 18.4-inch screen which is superb for games and movies.
