13-Jun-2008 Genie20: Does This Laptop come with the Acer VOIP Phone? and does it come with SP1 already preinstalled?

8-Jul-2008 jimg: Hi...love the look of this computer, but needit to be XP not Vista. Is that possible....or do I need to keep looking?! Many thanks

Easycom: You wont find many machines with this specification shipping with XP now, it might be best to obtain a separate copy of XP and install it yourself, the drivers can be obtained from Acer.

18-Aug-2008 Avron: Hi, can u please confirm whether i can upgrade the memory on ACER 8920G to more that 4gig, if they should ever make 4 gig chips. Is the CPU and GPU upgradable as well. If so will the core 2 extreme be compatible with this notebook. Thanks!!

Easycom: The CPU and GPU are upgradeable but this will void the warranty. The Core 2 Extreme is compatible. It is not possible to increase the memory to over 4GB.

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.

21-Sep-2008 Kam: Hi. Is it possible to connect 5.1 speaker system to this laptop?

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.

23-Sep-2008 Kam: Hi. I was wondering if I can make monthly payments if I chooze buy now and pay in june 2009 before that 9 month period ends.

SteveF: No, the buy now pay later option is not a monthly option. You need to pay the full amount within the time period as one lump sum.

sajidH: Yes it should run crsysis smoothly. . But you might not achieve its full functionality on linux.
