Performance And Battery Life
The Aspire 5920 is a very quick laptop. Gamers will be interested to hear it scored 3,288 in 3DMark 2006. This trounces the 2,344 achieved by the Asus Lamborghini VX2. It was also impressive in real-world tests, propelling the graphically intensive F.E.A.R to 28 frames per second.

As expected, it had no trouble running more mundane applications. It munched its way through our PCMark 2005 test,, racking up 4,739, which is higher than the theoretically quicker Asus V1J. We suspect the Intel Turbo Memory played a role here, although the extra 1GB of system memory obviously doesn't hurt, either.

Battery life was about average for this sort of laptop. It lasted 2 hours 13 minutes in our BatteryEater test, which is exactly long enough to let you watch The Blues Brothers on DVD.
