21-Nov-2007 FH: What is the difference between this model and the LX.AN60X.001 ? On the Acer website this model has wireless 4965AGN (i.e. draft N), while the other model has 3945ABG (no draft N) - is this true ?

Easycom: Yes this is true and thanks for pointing this out.

22-Nov-2007 Robin: Please confirm this model has the 1GB of turbo memory.

Easycom: Yes it does.

23-Nov-2007 C: What happened to the LX.AGW0X.169 - is this a replacement? If not, do you know if the LX.AGW0X.169 will be replaced by a new model?

Easycom: This is a similar specification to the LX.AGW0X.169 the only difference is this machine has a bigger hard drive capacity.

25-Nov-2007 Adam: Please confirm this new model has wireless n compatibility as previous model did not. Thanks

Easycom: This does have draft n compatibility.

25-Nov-2007 Tom: Is the only difference between the LX.AN60X.041 and LX.AN60X.001 that of one has wireless n, whereas the other has turbocache? or do both have turbocache

Easycom: The LX.AN60X.041 does have a turbocache and does have draft N compatibility.

24-Nov-2007 Michael: Does this laptop have bluetooth? If not, what 5920 does?

Easycom: No it doesn't, none of the 5920 range have integrated Bluetooth however it can be added using a USB adapter.

23-Nov-2007 Robin: I'm confused. On the Acer website the Hi model is shown as LX.AN60X.001 (without draftN) and the Hn model is shown as the LX.AN60X.041 (with draftN). So are you sure this is the Hi and do any of the 5920 models now have the GeForce 8600M GT graphics card?

Easycom: The LX.AN60X.041 model does have draft N wireless, unfortunately none of the 5920 models have Geforce 8600M GT graphics.

26-Nov-2007 PotentialPossibility: How many USB ports does it have?

Easycom: It has 4 USB ports.

26-Nov-2007 Andy Y: I have heard that the CrystalBrite technology makes the screen excellent when indoors, but in the sunlight it is practically impossible to use, is this true and if so, is there anything which can be done to make it more useable in sunlight?

Easycom: For more information on Crystalbrite technology have a look at http://global.acer.com/products/monitor/pdf/F_CrystalBrite%20flyer0309.pdf You could always add a screen filter to the screen if it is a problem.

27-Nov-2007 Paul: Does this laptop have any audio output socket other than the headphone socket? Will the laptop connect wirelessly with a BT Home Hub? Is it available with the downgrade to Windows XP? If I ordered it with Microsoft Office Professional pre-installed would the end-user license agreement entitle me to install Office Professional 2007 on my desktop PC as well? If I ordered with Office Professional 2007, would I receive the installation disks? Thanks. Paul

Easycom: This features a combined headphone/line out socket. This will connect to you BT Home Hub straight out of the box. For Office upgrade and Windows downgrades please call us to discuss your individual requirements.

28-Nov-2007 harrovian: Hiya, I has decided to purchase the gemstone LX.AKV0X.108 model at the beginning of Nov but had to wait for Payday at end of month! just returned to purchase & i notice the spec has changed & the graphics card is now onboard. Now in limbo again. been contemplating the LX.AN60X.001 but its slightly over my budget SOo need a machine with dedicated graphics for my Sims addiction!!! what would you recommend now? would the LX.AKV0X.108 still suffice???? cheers

Easycom: The LX.AKV0X.108 should be ok with the sims even with the integrated graphics card. If you are specifically looking for something with a dedicated graphics card why not have a look at the ASUS F3 series product codes F3SC-AP115C and F3SR-AP074C

27-Nov-2007 Grant: Hi! (1) From what I can make out, only difference between LX.AN60X.001 and LX.AN60X.041 is that it has Draft N and the other does not. All other specs are identical, not so? (2) Is Acer planning on releasing a 5920 model with 8600M GT graphics, instead of GS any time soon? (3) Including the 256mb dedicated, what is the max memory that can be allocated to GS graphics card, 1Gb? (4) Is a 0.3 m/p webcam, worth much, as far as quality is concerned? (5)Is it possible, for the laptop hdd to come as 1 partition, instead of 2? (6) Is it possible for the full version OS (Vista), software drivers and Office setup files to be copied onto the hdd, instead of just having the restore disks? (7) Are there any in stock and if not how long will it take to order 1? Please, could you get back to me as soon as possible! Thanks for your time!

Easycom: 1 The only difference is the draft N wireless connectivity. 2 There isn't anything on the cards as of yet as to a release with this graphics card. 3 Apart from the 256MB it has the 1GB of turbo cache memory. 4 As far as quality is concerned this will be fine for gerneral internet use eg MSN. 5 Unfortunatley it seems to come with the 2 partitions as standard. 6 The restore data including the operating system is on a hidden partition on the hard drive. 7 The LX.AN60X.041 is currently out of stock however will be backl in stock within the next few days. For our delivery options please see our FAQ page.

27-Nov-2007 Grant: Continued: (8) Is it easy to upgrade this laptop eg. cpu, vga card, bios and so on..? (9) Does this laptop also come with the low cost double memory offer (2 x2gb), like the LX.AN60X.001? (10) Does the Draft N actually work, like it's supposed to? (11) Does the disable feature of all integrated parts work, eg. sound card, incase, I opt for an external option later on? (12) What is the output of these dolby surround speakers in Watts? (13) Is there full international, theft, accidental damage, lost insurance for more than 1 month? (14) Is it true that, with Vista you can now allocate a certain portion of your hdd to act as system memory? (15) Are there discounts on insurance, laptop accessories, OS (Vista), MS Office, delivery costs, when purchased with this laptop? Hopefully that's it! I know it is alot of questions to answer, but I need to be absolutely sure that this is the best laptop for me? Thanks once again!

Easycom: 8 Upgrades are significantly more difficult on laptops than desktops, the graphics cannot be upgradedas are connected to the motherboard. 9 Please call us to discuss memory upgrades. 10 Yes - the draft N will be fine. 11 You will be able to change the settings through the operating system 12 Unfortunately there isn't any technical information regarding this at present. 13 It comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty, we do offer extended warranties and insurance options. 14 I do belive you can do this as virtual memory. 15 Unfortunately not.

27-Nov-2007 caroline: Does it have a lithium ion battery?

Easycom: Yes it does.

27-Nov-2007 PotentialPossibility: I like the sound of this laptop a lot! How quiet would it be under normal use?

Easycom: As with all desktops and laptops, there will be some noise from the fan and hard drive under normal use.

4-Dec-2007 Adrian: Hi, does this have a connection socket for digital optical leads? I did not understand your combined headphone/line out socket and need to connect to my Naim NVi

Easycom: A combined headphone/lineout socket allows you to connect your headphones/external speakers/devices using a 3.5mm jack. This has an s-video out that could be used to connect to a television or home cinema system.

5-Dec-2007 Solley: What is the difference between this model the LX.AN6OX.041 & the LX.AN6OX.001 apart from the price ? as they look like identical laptops

Easycom: The specifications are very similar except the LX.AN60X.041 has draft n wireless technology.

5-Dec-2007 Solley: If i were to place a order this Saturday 8/11/07 for a LX.AN60X.041 could you gaurantee delivery before Christmas ?

Easycom: We have these in stock so we should be able to deliver before christmas unless they go out of stock. For delivery options please see our FAQ pages.

25-Nov-2007 Robin: And does this model's graphics card also have the 256 MB with 1GB turbocache?

Easycom: Yes it does.

7-Dec-2007 Dan: Does this laptop come with the 1GB Turbo Memory and the 1GB of TurboCache memory like the Acer Aspire - LX.AN60X.001? Also, i was wondering about the Low cost double memory offer?

Easycom: this has the Turbocache built in to the graphics card but no turbo memory. Please call us to discuss your upgrade requirements.

7-Dec-2007 ACERMAN: 1)The brochure says it has a 4965agn. Does it support wireless N?

Easycom: yes it does.

15-Dec-2007 Sanjay: This particular laptop ships with Windows Vista. Two questions : 1. Do you supply Windows Vista install CD/DVD? 2. If I want to downgrade, do you provide Windows XP drivers?

Easycom: Windows will be on a partition on the hard drive, so you can restore to factory settings. We do not provide any XP drivers, however you could download any drivers required.

17-Dec-2007 DirtyWookie: Sorry if this has been asked. What's the difference between the above model and the 5920G-302G25Hn?

Easycom: The Hn model has 802.11a/b/g wireless and the Hi model features 802.11a/b/g/draft n wireless. apart from that all the specifications are the same.

28-Dec-2007 Jet: Is there a version of this laptop with a GEforce 8600 GT card rather then the GS version? The details on your web page are a little confusing!

Easycom: LX.AGS0X.015 comes with a GT.

9-Jan-2008 Paul B: I shall be buying either the Acer Aspire 5920G-302G25Hi Laptop - LX.AN60X.041 or the Acer Aspire 7720G-302G32Hi Laptop - LX.ALN0X.248. My question is which is the better for my needs I am mighty impressed with both to tell you the truth and have been reading all the views for pointers being a first time buyer. I shall be mostly surfing the net and general emails, though my main other purpose shall be transfering home videos with the use of a camcorder, though both have firewire for this purpose one has a larger screen though the other a better graphics card and wireless 'N' which i am not sure off its use, so also appreciate that info also, one also has a larger hardrive, and one a HDMI port, so what would you do as I am so confussed. many thanks for your advice in advance

Easycom: Hi Paul, there isnt really much difference between them, if you'll be doing any gaming then the better graphics card would be worth considering, otherwise not important. Wireless 'n' is in draft form at the moment, when it becomes more widespread in the future it will offer faster wireless network speeds. With a HDMI port you would be able to connect it up to a HD ready TV and play proper HD movies through the laptop's drive.

4-Mar-2008 Pancakes: Hi, what exactly is the reason for the £130 price diff between this and the 5920g (h), is it just that the (H) has draft N? If so, what exactly is Daft N, and what is its advantage over the Lower Cost Acer, thanks.

Easycom: 802.11n is a much faster wireless standard over the previous 802.11b/g.

21-Feb-2008 kirk: is the hd dvd rom also r/w as the summary says it is but the tech spec doesnt mention it

Easycom: Yes it is R/W Also.

22-Feb-2008 Dave: Does this come with all of the latest drivers updates pre-installed?

Easycom: Yes

2-Apr-2008 Jamie: I have to replace my current laptop (Win XP, 2GHz T2500, 2 GB RAM, ATI radeaon mobility x1600 graphics card, 100 GB HDD, DVD RW). I am looking for something new that beats these specifications. I have been drawn to the 5920G and the 7720G. I want to play games as well as watch films and use the usual array of home office products. Which of these machines should I go for? Is ACER a good make with high build quality? Do I need to purchase an additional warranty?

Easycom: I recommend the 5920G as it has the better graphics card for gaming. This acer is a great quality product and you will not be disappointed. It ships with a standard 1 year warranty and it's entirely for your own peace of mind whether you should buy an extended warranty or not.

5-Apr-2008 Shaun B: I bought this model 1 week ago and it is fantastic its replaced my desktop and is working better. My desktop was built to a high spec and this laptop does everything my desktop did and more, its albe to keep up with myself multitasking which my desktop was starting to struggle with. Working in IT Acers were a cheaper computer to start with, now owning one i can see it works 10 times better then any leading brands and are able to keep up with the most demanding user. This is my first Acer (as a home user) but not my last, i will be buying more as and when they needed. Highly recommended

Easycom: Thanks for your comments!

17-Feb-2008 PaulAB: Does this product come with an AC charger?

Easycom: Yes

15-Jan-2008 Jaybee: Can the HD DVD-ROM drive write all the different formats? ie. CD R&RW, DVD -/+R&RW, DVD HD

Easycom: Yes.

20-Apr-2008 yett: Does this have vista pre installed on it or do you get the given software and have to install it

Easycom: Yes it has vista preinstalled.

20-Apr-2008 yetty: will this laptop run Flight Simulator x on Ultra High Graphics?

Easycom: Yes it can.

25-Apr-2008 R3DSYN: i'm currently looking into puirchasing this model but i need to verify if it can handly 1.1 million pixel rate for games? my son likes to play world of warcraft as we travel alot

Easycom: Yes it can. It supports upto 16.7 million color.

9-May-2008 Bob: Is the draft n wireless the only difference between this product and LX.AN60X.001?

Easycom: Yes, that is the only difference between these laptops.

15-May-2008 Bozzer: Hi, Will this laptop play Gears of War with high detail at a good frame rate? Also, would you rate the graphics card better than the ATI 2400 XT?

Easycom: The 8600M GS is better than the 2400XT in most benchmark tests, and will give a good frame rate on Gears of War.

17-May-2008 bob j: hi can you tell me what the HD DVD player will actually play ? ie will it play bluray disks or just HDmovies ? thanks

Easycom: It will not play Blu-Ray, just HD DVD and normal DVDs of course.

21-Jan-2008 rathan: I have already brought the laptop 5920g i am not satisfied by operating system vista , now i would like to format this to xp do i get all the drivers needed for this purpose

Easycom: Hi Rathan Sorry we donot provide drivers. You can find these from internet , Search google, or go to acer global website (www.acer.com). cheers

13-Feb-2008 Paul: Having just purchased this item from you I have yet to link up to an internet surver. My question is how do I know if my laptop has Vista Home installed as it says as it did not come in addition to the laptop as shown in a green coloured box Vista Home package. Am I missing something here, I am a first time buyer and also new to laptops. I do hope you can help

Easycom: Hi Paul Vista is preinstalled on this machine you only need to let it run coz when you start your laptop first time it takes some time to configure. Once this process hs finished then you will be able to connect to internet. cheers

15-Jun-2008 awhitters: Hiya, I'm moving to Japan in a month or so and am looking at buying this laptop to replace my desktop. Will it work on the different power output over there or will I need to buy a new power cable along with an adaptor? Cheers

Easycom: You would need a new power lead with a japanese plug on the end, or a travel adapter. the AC adapter should be able to cope with whatever voltage they use.

29-Jun-2008 Jeff: The Integrated Camera only has a Sensor Resolution of 0.3 Megapixels. I guess this is this sufficient for video communication using Skype Standard video calling which offers a resolution of up to 320X240 pixels (QVGA) at 15 frames per second (fps). But is it sufficient for their High Quality Video, which offers improved quality, transmitting video at 640x480 pixels (VGA) at up to 30 fps?

Easycom: The CrystalEye camera is a 640x480 camera (simply multiply 640 by 480 for the pixel res) - It does capture at 30fps max, so should be fine.

27-Jun-2008 Desperately Seeking Laptop: I am interested in the 5920g gemstone. Will this run the Phoenix remote control model flight simulator. The spec is for Windows XP/Direct 9C or higher 1 GHz 100% Pentium 111/ 4 or AMD athlon/64 compatable processor. G force 4200 /ATI 9600 with 128mb memory. 100% direct x compatable soundcard (optional) 256 mb ram. 750mb free disc space. CD ROM/DVD (for intsall). Free USB 1.1 /2.0 port. I am looking for something glitch free on the screen.

Easycom: Yes it should run it, as long as it is also compatible with Vista.

8-Jul-2008 Rav: Do your laptops come with original windows and drivers disks? If not can they be backed up to a disk for instal at a later date?

Easycom: They come with driver and software discs, the Windows installation is part of the system restore data, which is on a hard drive partition but can be burned to disc also.

8-Jul-2008 Rav: Can the drive write to dual layer DVD's?

Easycom: yes.

7-Jul-2008 jas: i intend to use this laptop to play "Age Of Conan" will this laptop meet the tech specs which are for the game: Minimum requirements: * OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista* Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz or equivalent* RAM: 1GB* Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better* Video memory: 128MB* DVD-ROM: Quad-speed (4x) DVD-ROM drive* Hard drive space: 32GB Recommended configuration: * OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista* Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz or equivalent* RAM: 2048MB Dual Channel DDR2* Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or equivalent* Video memory: 512MB* DVD-ROM: Quad-speed (4x) DVD-ROM drive* Hard drive space: 32GB

Easycom: It looks like this laptop has at least double all the minimum requirements, and is roughly equal to or just under the recommended spec.

9-Jan-2008 Stoods: For the Optical Storage, it says the type is "HD DVD-ROM - integrated" Does this mean there is no DVD / CD writing facility on this laptop?

Easycom: The HD DVD ROM drives can also write normal DVDs.

30-Jun-2008 Oba: hi. i am just wondering about graphic cards between aspire 4920 LX.AKW0X.114 and this laptop. laptops are on same price. i think this laptops graphic card much better than 4920's. but i want to use more portable. so is there really big difference between those 2 laptop's graphic cards.

Easycom: Yes, this graphics card is better.

10-Jul-2008 datas: I'd like to connect the sound output to my 5.1 home theatre sound system. I understand this laptop has spdif output as part of the 3.5mm headphone output - is this correct? Will it output digital 5.1 sound? What audio cable do you recommend I purchase to do this? Thanks

Easycom: You need a Mini TOSlink cable that plugs into the 3.5mm headphone jack - though it is actually an optical cable and will require an optical input on your sound system (please be aware that most optical inputs on soundsystems are TOSlink and not Mini-toslink so you will need a cable that has TOSlink at one end and Mini-TOSlink at the other).

19-Jul-2008 lees: Hi, I was wondering if you could confirm if this Laptop will be able to run the following, AOL Wireless, Football Manager 08, Flight Sim X (highest graphic settings), The Sim2 and if its perfect for surfing the web whether at home or on the move travelling (in uk or europe). and watching videos on sites like youtube. Thanks.

Easycom: It will have no problems with AOL wireless/FM08/sims2 and is ideal for surfing the web. The only trouble is running Flight Sim X at the highest graphics settings, as this is a very demanding application and so you will have to reduce the quality a bit to get a good framerate. Even the most powerful desktop graphics cards struggle to run FSX at the highest settings.

22-Jul-2008 nom99: hello I was also wondering as I'm getting confused what the difference between LX.AN60X.041 and LX.AKV0X.146 and LX.AKV0X.108 are? mainly do they all have the same spec for screen, audio and mic., camera, RAM, card readers and connectivity? I'm finding it hard to choose one! cheers

Easycom: These laptops use the same chassis (5920) but they are different specifications. LX.AKV0X.146 has a slower CPU but bigger HDD (useful if you need more storage but don't run cpu intensive applications) where as the LX.AKV0X.108 has the smaller hard drive and faster CPU, for when you do need extra power for CPU intensive applications. LX.AN60X.041 is a 5920G, the G at the end means it has a good graphics card for gaming. It also has a much bigger hard drive than both the 5920s. They all have 2GB ram, cameras, card readers, wifi connectivity, etc. - The 5920G does have a higher-capacity battery (8 cell instead of 6 cell) and also a HD-DVD drive. Personally I would go for the 5920G due to the better overall specification, but it's all down to your personal requirements. Hope this helps

26-Jul-2008 Robster: Please could you tell me what speed is the firewire connector ? Is it 400 or 800? I am going to use an external hard drive and need the fastest transfer speeds I can get so i need to know if this is faster than the USB2 ports. Thank you

Easycom: I believe the Firewire speed is 400mbit/s, as the information from Acer states IEEE 1394, not 1394b.

28-Jul-2008 MDB: I was trying to work out the difference between the Acer Aspire 5920G Gemstone Laptop - LX.AN60X.041 priced at £479.98 and the Acer Aspire 5920G (H) Gemstone Laptop - LX.AN60X.001 priced at £549.97 There doesn't seem to be an obvious difference in the spec but given the price difference I feel I might be missing something. Hope you can help me out.

Easycom: These two laptops are almost identical. However, the LX.AN60X.001 model has a DVD re-writer as opposed to the LX.AN60X.041 which can only read DVDs. That is why there is a difference in price. Thanks

30-Jul-2008 alwg: I have ordered the LX.AN60X.041 and was told by customer services that it is DVD RW. I also read the feedback above and it said the HD DVD was compatible with all formats including DVD RW. However on 28 July 2008 the following was said "These two laptops are almost identical. However, the LX.AN60X.001 model has a DVD re-writer as opposed to the LX.AN60X.041 which can only read DVDs. That is why there is a difference in price. Thanks" This seems to conflict with earlier advice and so as I don't want a machine that can't write to a DVD or CD can you let me know what is correct?

Easycom: It can write to both CDs and DVDs, nearly all laptops have this capability these days.

18-Jul-2008 Dara: would the graphics be good enough to play games like counter strike source and call of duty 4?

Easycom: Yes, they should run well.

31-Jul-2008 OFI: Please could you tell me the maximum resolutions available on the external VGA port. There also appears to be differing advice on the TurboCache/Turbo Memory. The spec here says it has Turbo Memory, elsewhere I have seen it described as having 1Gb of TurboCache on the GFX chipset. On 7-12-2007 Easycom said "this has the Turbocache built in to the graphics card but no turbo memory. Please call us to discuss your upgrade requirements." However on 22-11-2007 Robin asked "Please confirm this model has the 1GB of turbo memory." and Easycom responded "Yes it does" Please could you clarify! Thanks.

Easycom: This laptop has Intel 1GB Turbomemory - The graphics card has 256MB of dedicated memory (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS 256 MB) which is expandable to 1024MB via 768MB of shared system memory using TurboCache technology.

8-Aug-2008 Asta-La-Vista: Which version of the vista operating system is supplied and installed 32bit or 64bit?

Easycom: It's 32 bit with that machine.

12-Aug-2008 Matt: Does the 5920G have a blue ray DVD drive, because it says it is HD. Does this mean it is blue ray.

Easycom: No, this laptop has a HD-DVD drive (High-Definition DVD) which is a different format to Blu-Ray, and unfortunately you can not play Blu-Ray discs in HD-DVD drives.

14-Aug-2008 Evzy: I'm looking to buy either the LX.ALN0X.248 or the LX.AN60X.041 and was wondering which would be better suited to me. I will primarily be using the laptop for gaming and also school work. Any advice is much appreciated!

Easycom: Between those two, the 5920G is the one to go for as it has a better spec graphics card which you will appreciate when gaming. Be aware that the 7720G is a 17-inch laptop and the 5920G is a 15-inch laptop. If you want a 7720G with the same graphics chip as the 5920G then have a look at LX.ANU0U.106

16-Aug-2008 paul b: hi, can you please clarify that the screen itself is HD? does this come with a standard 1 year warranty? thanks.

Easycom: HD resolution is either 1280 x 720 or 1920×1080 and works off a ratio of 16/9 which is standard wide screen. This laptop has a resolution of 1280 x 800 which is in between the two and as it is a 15.4" screen and therefore isn't quite 16/9 and true HD.

14-Jul-2008 Matt: Can you take off vista and put windows XP on before I buy the aspire 5902G. If so will it cost any extra.

Easycom: It does not come with backup disks. If you want them we can make them for you for a little extra or, alternatively, your laptop is capable of making backup disks if you want to make them yourself.

19-Aug-2008 danni82: Could you please tell me what speed the hd-dvd reads and writes at (8X?) as I have bought this laptop recently and it seems slower than I'm used to, also it skips a lot more even if the disk is nearly new, is this usual with HD-DVD drives?

Easycom: Please call our customer service team for any post sales queries and they'll look into that for you.

26-Aug-2008 alex: Are these laptops BUN/LX.AN60X.001/968 and LX.AN60X.041 both with Turbocache and turbomemory?

Easycom: Just the LX.AN60X.001 has turbo cache.

26-Aug-2008 alex: does it have a turbocache? If i would upgrade it to 4 gb ram, would it work much faster or is it just wasting of money?

Easycom: No it doesn't have turbo cache and yes, upgrading the ram will defiantly speed the machine up. Please call our sales team for more info on the upgrades.

11-Apr-2008 Misha: I bought this product after missing out on the Aspire 5863WLMi and wasn`t disapointed. It has everything i need in a laptop and has replaced my 3 year old laptop (1.5Ghz) well. My only gripe with it is Vista!! but that`s a small gripe and found that i can live it (after so many years of XP) Like others this is my 1st ever Acer product and would recommend this laptop and the company to anyone,they provided a 1st rate product and a 1st rate level of service. Many thanks. Just a small tip to buyers :- if you see something you like @ the right specs for what you need don`t dwell on it to long,this is how i missed out on the Aspire 5863WLMi @ 2Ghz just lucky for me i ended up with something better :)
