acer

Dec 11, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: ItÂ’s the size of the Aspire 2920 that first catches your eye. Measuring in at 304 x 223 x 32mm, itÂ’s not exactly a sub-notebook or MacBook Air, but the Acer is certainly on the smaller end of the scale. The 2.04kg weight suggests that the 2920 might find a home in your hand luggage when you go travelling
Cons: It's powerful, provided you don't intend to play games
Opinion:
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions


 

Great balance of size, weight, power and cost

Aug 13, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Compact, sufficient power, feels solid, nice screen
Cons: Dull colour, wifi can struggle in poor reception areas
Opinion:
I wanted something portable but with a bigger screen and keyboard than an Acer One/Asus EeePC, but not as big as a full-strength lap top. The 12.1" format is an ideal balance of compact dimensions and useability for me.

I was also looking for good value, as all laptops become outdated sooner or later. The 2920Z was ideal for me.

The keyboard is nice to use, the mouse-pad is excellent and the screen is good. You need to get just the right viewing angle though, otherwise the colours look washed out. Microphone and camera also good for conferencing. Detail layout a little messy, but you get used to it.

A good, solid machine with compact dimensions, reasonable weight, good power at a very reasonable price.

 

small wonder

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: price to size ratio
Cons: reliability?
Opinion:
Acer & taiwanese company in general is good in leveraging their sourcing wit VS production cost that they could offer to sell at a lower cost (compared to Lenovo X300..etc), except for HTC who wishes to grab a higher profit margin. if this product could offer more in the reliability department or may even incorporate approaches made on the Panasonic toughbook, then consumer's won't want anything else anymore (except upgrading of course). bottomline is, this product sets a good price per feature/functionality, plus it comes in a smaller package at 12-inch screen that challenges even the UMPCs & bridges the gap between ultraportables (Asus Eee) & notebook PCs.

 

Budget Notebook that measures up.

Feb 12, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 2GB Ram, Bright screen, USB locations good.
Cons: Plasticity feel, Powering up a bit slow
Opinion:
Bought this immediately after returning the Zetta Ten.

It connects to internet without any issue at coffeebean and starbucks. Used it whole day for my research and the keys are still intact!

This is what I call a budget notebook that gets it right!
