Easycom: Yes this is one of the top specification laptops out. It is also a very similar spec to the first 5920 but without the turbo memory but for less of £200 it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to take.

10-Nov-2007 Dean: Ok, would the graphics card in this laptop be suitable for newer modern games, such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Easycom: It is OK for most games but not modern games such as COD4 as the graphics card is not designed for performance 3D gaming - For that, you should look for a laptop in the gaming section.

11-Nov-2007 PJ: Is it possible to get a US style keyboard instead of UK one? I'm talking about diffrent sign locations, for example "@" in UK is where comma is and in US one it's where "2" is. I know you can change the settings in Windows but it's just a matter of being used to US keyboard.

12-Nov-2007 Ronan: The grpahics card is now listed as an ``ATI X1300 Integrated Graphics'' but it was a NVidia 8600 GT yesterday. Is this just a mistake or what?

Easycom: Yes it will. No it will not show dirt and it is not distracting.

12-Nov-2007 RM1: I figured the price was too good to be true, that X1300 card is rubbish in comparison to the NVIDIA 8600. Do the other Acers in have the same card or does the cheaper one still have the NVIDIA card?

Easycom: No, the first 2 5920's have the Nvidia card, one of which we still sell.

12-Nov-2007 Dean: I asked recently which was better between this laptop and the Acer TravelMate 5720G-302G16 LX.TK30X.033. Since then the information on the graphics card has changed. Which laptop out of the 2 would you recommend now and why?

20-Nov-2007 Andy: which graphics card is better the Nvidia 8600 or the x1300 and is the x1300 still recommended for playing the recent games such as call of duty 4 modern warfare just as the graphics card has changed ?

Easycom: I assume you are reffereing to the NVIDIA GeForce 8600, as the NVIDIA card has dedicated memory for graphics the X1300 is shared memory from the system RAM. Therefore the NVIDIA card will be better for overall performance and will be better at running the latest and future 3D games.

16-Nov-2007 avi: i want this laptop with nvidia card 256 mb deicated memory will i get it

Easycom: Unofrtunately not as it doesn't have an NVIDIA graphics card and can not be upgraded.

21-Nov-2007 Tom: Why did they change the graphics card on the LX.AKV0X.108? and will they ever sell the model at this price with the 8600M GT again?

Easycom: The specification showing the 8600M GT was incorrect this model has the Intel graphics card.

14-Nov-2007 Tanvir: Hi, How much dedicated and integrated shared memory does the X1300 have? Is it suitable for playing latest games?

Easycom: This is an integrated card, for the latest games i would recommend a laptop with a dedicated graphics card.

Easycom: It should run this, however it will struggle with the latest 3D games due to the graphics card.

7-Dec-2007 Paul: Which is the better Graphics card the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 256MB or the Intel X3100 GMA. I am having to choose between this laptop and the Acer Aspire 7720G - 1A2G24mi-LX.ALNOX.249. I think I am right in saying this has a faster processor though the 7720G has a larger HD 240GB. I am mainly going to use it for surfing net and general emails though mainly to transfer from Camcorder to disc, I am sure this is possibly a better spec machine though I can always buy an additional HD to add? any thoughts on this. PLEASE your views as it is so misleading and confussing being a first time buying of a laptop. Many many thanks

Easycom: The NVIDIA is the better graphics card,. The 5920 has the faster processor, where the 7720G has the larger hard drive. Both are similar specifications where one has a faster processor and the opther better graphics card. Both laptops will be fine for the kind of use you describe, personally I would sacrifice the processor sped and opt for a better graphics card and a larger screen especially if you are looking at playing games or editing videos.

19-Dec-2007 Val: Which is the better performing laptop, this one or the 9304_LX.AWP0X.197? I tend to have a few programmes running at the same time so want something that can cope with this. Not used for gaming, just multimedia coursework and other such stuff.

Easycom: Both have a dual core processor, however the 5920 has a faster clock speed. Although the 9304 has a larger hard drive and screen. I would suggest that both have a similar performance for general use however for high demanding graphic applications I would say the 9304

21-Dec-2007 D!l63RT: I'm a microsoft partner and would use my own copy of an x64 OS - can this model be purchased with out the OS? The memory upgrade offer...is it to 4 Gig? How much extra?

Easycom: Unfortunately we cannot supply this model with out the operating system however you format the hard drive and install your copy. Please call us to discuss your upgrade requirements.

5-Jan-2008 typhoon9: Does the LX.AKV0X.108 have a Intel GMA X3100 Graphics card as mentioned in the specs or an ATI X1300 which alot of people seem to think. many thanks

5-Jan-2008 Tossy: Hi, I want to buy a laptop and i'm considering the T5450 LX.AKV0X.146 or the T7300 LX.AKV0X.108. I just want to use it for school work generally, watching movies, and downloading musics. Which of the two would you recommend?

Easycom: Why not save yourself some money and get LX.AKV0X.146, both would be plenty powerful enough for your requirements.

5-Mar-2008 cookster: In the product Spec for the LX.AKV0X.108 it has 1 x display / video - HDMI. Is this a HDMI port on the laptop? IF not what model has the HDMI port (I dont what a HD_DVD DRIVE model)

Easycom: This is a HDMI Video Out port for displaying directly onto High Definition TVs. It does not feature a HD-DVD drive.

15-Apr-2008 karen: Does this laptop have any program installed already?

Easycom: Yes. It comes with Acer Launch Manager, Norton Internet Security, NTI CD-Maker, CyberLink PowerProducer, Acer GridVista, Adobe Reader, Acer Empowering Technology, Microsoft Works 8.5, Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (Trial), Acer Arcade Deluxe, Acer PureZone installed on it.

Easycom: Its fine for these softwares. But we recomend to upgrade its memory.

9-May-2008 Stephen: would this laptop be able to play call of duty 2 and battlefield 2?

24-May-2008 Eastern: Im looking at buying but i have a few questions regarding graphics. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card? and will upgrading be expensive?

Easycom: The graphics cant be upgraded unfortunately, because they are soldered onto the circuit board rather than having a removable card like a desktop PC.

27-Jan-2008 typhoon9: Does it come with windows home premium 32bit or 64bit ?

Easycom: Its 32bit.

23-Feb-2008 lamari: I want to buy a laptop for general school work, watching films, downloading music and transferring pictures and videos from my camcorder. I tend to use several applications at the same time and have lots of pics and videos to save. Won't be used for games. Essential: no loud fan noise. Any recommendations?

Easycom: If you donot have budget restriction then this machine is ideal for you. However i recommend (LX.ALC0Y.143 , LX.E870Y.139 , LX.ALE0X.004, LX.EA40Y.111, LX.TKT0X.130 ) any one of these.

2-Jul-2008 veritas: In the package deals the free laptop bag and mouse option has gone, if i order just the laptop now will i receive the bag and mouse later or is this option not available any more.
