Acer 6920G Best Value for Money

Hi guys
I Just wanted to setup something that was really useful for a junkie like me who is interested yet reluctant to buy an Acer 6920G... I am not a marketing guy but .. i have just poured my mind.


I was looking for a laptop and I was Stuck with choices between the HP dv3025tx and the Acer 6920g. .Personally i was not a fan of Acer but when i checked it in the showroom at simlim the other day I was spellbound. to be honest i still dint like the BIG gigantic looks and the crazy controller on the left. and i loaded up my crysis game on the show room laptop and yes they did allow me to do this at simlim.. I was impressed by the performance of the 9500 GS which is a decoy brother of the 9500 GT that will be launched by the year end of 09.
Then i came back home and did a lot of research
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-aspire-6920-and-8920g-hands-on/
this page gave me a lot of info on this.. Considering the storage and the graphics the size is justifyable.

The num pad keys are especially useful if you were a desktop user for the past years. but as a laptop user my fingers jump to the second line by default. For Guys who hate Acer ,.. check the notebook at the shop several times several ways and do it for a long time so that you can find bugs..

DONT BUY ONLINE BECAUSE YOU WILL DEFINETLY HAVE THE LUCK OF GETTING a WRONG one.. because they come form China and not form japan. Its not a comment against all the products from china but The Quality control process is entirely different Over there.

I am planning to take one at the IT show in JUNE ,, Will update you more
