60% Acer Aspire 8920 High Definition Desktop Replacement Notebook

Acer's Aspire 8920 drops the conventional 17-inch screen for a much larger 18.4-inch display. This has the advantage of giving it an easier to see high definition display that is great for watching Blu-ray movies or working with multiple applications, but the increased screen size also adds to the bulk making this a less portable laptop PC.

Acer's Aspire 8920G-934G64Bn (£1400 inc. VAT) is the second machine we've seen from the company to feature its latest Gemstone Blue styling. Along with a 3D-effect finish to the glossy lid, you'll also find an unusual 18.4-inch display and a host of unique design touches. The Acer Aspire 8920G-934G64Bn isn't the cheapest machine, but the cutting-edge components and excellent display make it our machine of choice.

Just when you thought Acer couldn't come up with another beastly laptop, the Aspire 8920G "Gemstone Blue" series emerges to wow high-definition aficionados. The Aspire 9805WKHi—Acer's first effort at a wow! laptop—had a glamorous 20-inch screen but weighed a backbreaking 17 pounds. The Aspire 8920G ($2,600 street) finds the sweet spot by putting an 18.4-inch widescreen on a system that, at 8.8 pounds, weighs as much as some 17-inch models, like the Dell Inspiron 1720, do. The Acer Aspire 8920G is equipped with an unprecedented 18.4-inch screen and performance parts that are future-proofed.

With Blu-ray and a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8920 is a movie fan's dream, but we'd go for the cheaper of Acers' two preconfigured models.

Acer has nailed multimedia desktop replacement standards with the Aspire 8920G. The stunning 18.4-inch display provides more room than those on 17-inch models but is not quite as ridiculous as screens on 20-inch behemoths. Aside from the promised TV tuner (which you may just want to add externally yourself), everything is here: performance, a high-def screen, Blu-ray, top-notch sound system, and a very cool way to control it all.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GS: The 9650M is a higher clocked 9500M GS and the successor of the 8700M GT (same chip but other spinning). Therefore, the performance should be on par with the 8700M GT.

They can be compared with current high end Desktop video cards like 7900 or X1900. The cards contain a similar core, however usually they are minor clocked and therefore somewhat more slowly. The newest games (like Company of Heroes, F.E.A.R., ...) should run fluently with all details in high resolutions.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

T9300:

18.4":
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

4.16 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.

Acer: Acer is one of the international manufacturers with the most market shares worldwide and the most reviewed notebook models in the German and English speaking countries. Nevertheless only few of the models achieved top rankings according total ranking and price/value evaluation.

83.58%: This rating is to be considered as average, because the amount of notebooks with better ratings is about equal like the amount with worse ratings.
