CNET Asia Review
Good
The good: High-end specifications; excellent performance; brilliant screen. 6.8
out of 10View score
The bad: Grey coloring; misplaced USB port; overall design.
The bottom line: The Aspire 5920 is a candidate for the ugliest laptop of the year. It's smeared in enough grey to put British skies to shame, and has had some absolutely awful design touches. But the rest of the laptop is a very good one. It's fast, feature-packed and is excellent value for money.

HIgh end performer

Pros: Excellent Graphics. High end feature packed.
Cons: Lack of adequate heat dissipation. Heavy,
Opinion:
Amazing performer for its price. Definitely one to rival the top line of laptops from other brands.
One major(and rather disappointing) problem is it heats up mighty fast. Tho it can play top of the line graphic intensive games with no problems, its lack of an effective cooling system limits playing time greatly. Be prepared to invest in some quality external cooling mechanism.
Great laptop, bad review..

Pros: Great specs; Great value for money; Beautiful screen
Cons: Touch-sensitive buttons sometimes activated accidentally; Loud touchpad buttons
Opinion:
What's that crap about 'smearing in enough grey to put British skies to shame'? One of the worst-written review I've read on this great site.
For this laptop's great specs, it's seriously cheap. A similar notebook can easily hundreds of dollars more. A MacBook Pro with similar specs costs at least a thousand more (SGD currency).
Acer has been increasing the specifications for the 5920G, without increasing its price, in light of the release of its newer Gemstone notebooks equipped with GF 9x00 series graphics cards.
The 2 cons I find more disturbing are the touch-sensitive buttons and touchpad buttons. The touch-sensitive buttons might get activated when you just brush your hands over them, but it isn't really a problem since you can adjust their sensitivity. The touchpad buttons are just too hard and loud. It gives the impression of them being really cheap parts.
Be prepared to spend a little extra cash on a cooling ... Read more
