15-Nov-2007 Linda16_ie: does this laptop have bluetooth?crystalbrite?SD card reader?

Easycom: This doesn't have Bluetooth but can be added with a USB adapter. There isn't a card reader on this laptop either however the screen does feature CrystalBrite technololgy.

29-Nov-2007 JAY: Which is best overall between the aspire 4920 and the aspire 7720z and why pse?

Easycom: Both are similar specifications and so would offer similar performance, I would base my choice on the screen size I wanted, as one has a 14" screen and so more portable than the 17". However the 17" is ideal for watching DVD's and gaming.

4-Dec-2007 Peter Duruwa: Can Aspire 4920 Downgraded to WinXP Prof?

Easycom: Please call us to discuss your Windows requirements.

9-Apr-2008 Imtiaz: Does this laptop come with microsoft office, or will i have to pay extra to get it?

Easycom: It comes with Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (Trial Version). You have to purchase Office after some time beacuse it is trial version..

12-Apr-2008 HI: How long is the battery life?

Easycom: Its 2.5 hours.

2-Jun-2008 Chris: Is this laptop Ubuntu compatible ? and can I re-install windows at a later date ?

Easycom: Yes.

24-Jun-2008 xXx: Would this laptop be able to play the sims 2?

Easycom: Not very well, you should look for an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card for decent gaming performance.

23-Jul-2008 Taxi: I want a laptop for email, internet, music and photo's and some word excel docs, would this laptop be the best for this use.

Easycom: Yes, it would be fine.

3-Sep-2008 Cat: I was just wondering if this laptop would be able to install and run Photoshop successfully.?

Easycom: It should run photoshop fine.

5-Sep-2008 Abdurrehman: hey. is this laptop refursbished, used or new??? thanks.

Easycom: All our laptops are brand new, straight from the manufacturer.

4-Sep-2008 rafer: i am torn between the 5720Z and the 4920, i basically need the laptop to do uni work, surfing, messaging, which one would you recommend?

Easycom: Both laptops would do the job well, tha main difference being the screen size. The 4920 is a little smaller at 14" and so will be a lighter.

12-Sep-2008 MackyG: I need a laptop for email and storing music and talking books and working remotely. I have a laptop with a Pentium M processor and it has 2Gb of Ram but(Acer 1691i). It seems to freeze when I am working remotely from home and have logged on to my work network. Will the Acer 4920 be a better performer?

Easycom: Certainly, it has a dual core processor which means it will handle the multi tasking you require with ease.

14-Sep-2008 Elisabeth: It says in the tech spec that this product does have a 5 way card reader but your comment aboves says it doesn't have a card reader - which is correct?

Easycom: Sorry about the confusion, the model does have a 5 in 1 card reader.

14-Sep-2008 Judit: Does is have built in mic??

Easycom: Yes it does.

18-Sep-2008 Al: About the gaming capabilities on this laptop. I know that other laptops are more geared for playing game but will this laptop still be able to play games quite well?

Easycom: No, the graphics card on this machine is an shared one and so has no dedicated memory for games. Have a look for something with an Nvidea or ATi card with at least 128 of dedicated memory.

18-Sep-2008 Gary: Hi does this laptop come with the glossy black cover and has it got a white keyboard??It looks a bit grey in the pic sorry!!!

Easycom: the keyboard is a light grey colour.

20-Sep-2008 Tom: Hi, i am looking for a good value laptop for simple documents but would like to play some games as well. I have heard that this laptop is not made for playing games but would it be able to play a game such as world of warcraft for short amounts of time?Also, if not do you recommend a cheap pc which can play this well? Thanks.

Easycom: No, the graphics card is integrated so you will struggle with any game above solitaire. You would need to look for something with a dedicated card for gaming so have a look at the 5920 range.

1-Oct-2008 Nevla: Does the product come with all the software on DVD, in case i ever need to perform a re-install?

SteveF: No but you can order a recovery disc with the laptop that will do the job for you.

4-Oct-2008 Tosh: Will this laptop be able to handle playng DVDs without lagg or buffering and do you get the Vista discs with the purchase for reformatting in the future. thanx

Matt: It can play DVDs without lag or bufering, and if you wanted to reformat in the future then you would use the system restore data included with the laptop.

3-Oct-2008 Nemo: Would it run a gmae like world of warcraft with low frame rates??? Also im used to very slow pcs, I have a old mac with 256mg of ram and Its fine for me.

sajidH: It should be ok. However for gaming i recommend a laptop having dedicated graphics memory.

16-Oct-2008 amie: does this laptop have a built in web cam. I can see it on the pictures but it does not say in the description - just wanted to make sure.

peterh: Yes, this model has the Acer CrystalEye 0.3mp webcam built in :)

23-Oct-2008 david: can i connect this laptop to my lcd tv for big picture?

Matt: Yes.

28-Oct-2008 Baha: I've one question about configuration of current model of Aspire 4920. Can you add a graphics card like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT and bluetoth to current model???

SteveF: Unfortunately not on the ATI card. But there is talk of external graphics cards being released should you want to upgrade at a later date. Bluetooth can be added via a dongle such as product code VB-3881.

1-Nov-2008 Sharun: I want to know what a refurbished laptops are. I saw that they are cheaply priced, what's the difference between them and a normal laptop. Would it affect its performance in anyway?

Matt: Refurbished ones have been repaired by the manufacturer and come in "as new" condition.

31-Oct-2008 Gemma: If the laptops are brand new, why would there be any dud pixels? And therefore why should we need to pay for the laptop to be 'checked'?

Matt: There are set tolerance limits for dead pixels which vary by manufacturer, if the number of deal pixels falls under this limit then they are not classed as faulty. Often, people who have a screen with a dead pixel or two dont even notice, and they might only be visible occasionally if you look really hard. Others are glaringly obvious and these would be classed as faulty if they clearly interfere with the viewing experience.

31-Oct-2008 Gemma: Does this laptop have a reflective screen or matt screen?

Matt: It's the glassy type, which Acer call 'CrystalBrite'.

31-Oct-2008 Rodolfo Leyes: I'm from Argentina and I'm on a bussiness trip to ireland, I would like to buy this notebook for personal use, I have visa and debit card, how can I purchase this item? will the VAT be included in my purchase?

SteveF: We can accept any Uk or Europe registered credit or debit card. VAT will be included.

6-Nov-2008 celia: On the technical specification it says that this laptop has a 5-in-1 card reader, but on comment above it says that there isn't a card reader. So is there a 5-in-1 card reader or not?

SteveF: This model does include a card reader.

17-Nov-2008 Jo: Is it possible to get this model with windows xp? If so, how much would it cost?

david s: This model is only available with Vista. And by putting XP on would void your warranty and some hardware may not be supported.

22-Nov-2008 Chris W: I want to watch internet TV from China. How will this machine perform

david s: yes
