Easycom: Yes

5-Apr-2008 sonny: i am looking to buy a laptop to play call of duty 4 on amongst other things and this has a better graphics card than the acer aspire 5920 BUN/LX.AKV0X.108/1227, however the 5920 has a better processor. Which laptop is allround the better buy and what difference will i see in graphics, gaming and loading speeds between the two

Easycom: The laptop with the better graphics card will play the game better as this is a much higher requirement for gaming.

5-Apr-2008 sonny: which is the better graphics card, the nvidia geforce 8400M GS, or the nvidia geforce 7000M

Easycom: The Geforce 8400M is significantly better!

6-Apr-2008 grubber55: can you confirm whether or not it has a web cam, the tech specs say yes and a previous answer says no...thanks

6-Apr-2008 trever: how well will this laptop play call of duty 4

Easycom: It's well above the minimum requirements so there shouldnt be any problems!

14-Apr-2008 V Mittal: Could you please confirm that the GPU on this model is NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (with 256 MB dedicated Memory installed). I am bit confused, as I saw elsewhere that 7720G comes with a card that supports only 128 MB Memory. Does it support the Turbo Cache ? if yes, how much ?

Easycom: There are lots of different 7720G's with different specifications, they can be identified by the stock code starting with LX.

14-Apr-2008 V Mittal: Another Clarification about the GPU. Is it NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS or NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT

Easycom: It has 256MB dedicated memory, with turbocache up to 1GB.

17-Apr-2008 freedeanna: I gather the gfx card and memory make this very good for gaming, but does the T5250 / 1.5 GHz processor make it a poor choice for multitasking and video editing, etc.? Also can you tell me what does the long thin button (presumably that's what it is) do that is located just right of the spacebar on many models? Thx.

Easycom: It is still a perfect option for graphics, video editing and gamming. The graphics card itself has processing power and 1.5 GHz is not too bad speed. It is good speed Core 2 Duo processor. I think it is a good machine in this price which can run heavy graphics programmes and games. It's not a button, just a green bit of plastic that says Aspire on it.

11-May-2008 James: Hello I have a question. dose acer have the ability to change the operating system on the Acer Aspire 7720G-1A2G24Mi from windows vista back to windows xp. because i am interested in the laptop but i do not wish to have windows vista as the operating system. mainly due to the fact i currently use programs and games that are not compatible with vista. so i am wondering if acer are willing to downgrade their laptops?

Easycom: Yes you can install windowsXP. You need to find out its hard drive drivers.

2-Jun-2008 DC: Can I attach a external monitor to this machine?

Easycom: Yes.

13-Jun-2008 panos: I wonder if it is possible to deliver a laptop in greece and what will be the extra cost.

Expand/CollapseBuying Advice

27-Nov-2007 Paul: Please can you tell me which is the better machine the Aspire 7720G-1A2G24Mi-LX.ALNOX.249 @599.00 or the Aspire 5920 Gemstone LX.AKVOX.146 @549.00. I am looking to mainly surf the net general emails, but most importantly burn to disc from a camcorder so firewire port as you had previously advised is very important. I know one has a larger screen & larger HD & possibly a better graphics card, though am a little confused as to which one is more appropraite before I buy in time for Xmas present. Your views & choice would be greatly appreciated

Easycom: Either will be fine surfing the net and email, for videos i would recommend the one with the larger hard drive as video files are quite large and so will fill up your hard drive faster.

29-Nov-2007 P: Just 5 short questions: Does it have the 8 cell or 6 cell battery. If 6 can I use an 8 cell. Does it have a built in microphone. Could you tell me if this is the santa rosa processor and have a webcam and can you watch and burn DVDs. Many thanks
