    Hi!

    I'm thinking of buying a 5930G with these speccs:

    Screen 15.4"
    Screentype 1280x800 CrystalBrite
    Processor Intel Core2Duo P7350, 2.0Ghz, 1066Mhz
    Ram 3GB 1x2048 & 1x1024MB, DDR2, 800Mhz
    Harddrive 250GB SATA 5400rpm
    Graphics nVidia GeForce 9600 GT 512MB

    I'm not very good at all when it comes to hardware, so that is why I post here ;)

    Will my laptop get very hot if I play games on it? E.g. Crysis/COD4. As far as I've understood that is a real killer for computers hardware, if they get too hot.
    Also, is this a very new laptop? I heard that it was released this summer.

    What is the Acer customer support like?

    If you could link to any review of this computer it would be very appreciated.

    Since I live in sweden it's more expensive for me to buy it here than in the U.S.. But do you believe that it's worth the money? A rough calculation would say that it would cost about 1300$ here in Sweden. With this price I get a little bit more, E.g. Windows vista 32bits, network card, guarantee etc.

    Any thoughts or comments about this laptop is more than welcome!
    And please forgive me for any typos or anything of that sort in the text.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you want a great gaming Laptop Get the Gateway P-7811FX...

    I believe its the best gaming machine out there (price wise), with an Nvidia 9800m-GTS + 4GB ram DDR3 + latest intel processor.....its simply the best

    it should get more than 8700 points in 3Dmark06 while the acer 5930 gets about 6000 (at 1024x768)

    on their site it is listed for 1400$....which is great deal.

    I want to get one but i think it only available in the USA ONLY .....

    And i live in the UAE!!!.....im really sad!
