    Hello,
    I think it is just time to make a replacement of my Aspire 6920G.
    So far got many issues with it like: a year-old battery death, CPU overheat during games, and driver issues with windows seven.
    I am considering of buying a new laptop, the 5940G, which has these specs -

    Display 15.6" (1366 x 768) / Intel Core i7-720QM (1.6 GHz) / RAM 4 GB / HDD 500 GB / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 / Blu-ray / Wi-Fi / Buletooth / web-camera / Windows 7 Home Premium / 3 kg. $1939,00 (normal price as for Ukraine)

    You can read a detailed review with pics over here http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-5940G-Notebook.23144.0.html

    What makes me think about this lap, is the Acer brand. So far i can say, that the batteries acer makes are crap, because the 6920G isn't the first laptop i experience problems with (especially the battery problem)

    Now, the Rep of Acer is not as good, as it was before to me..
    Should i buy it? Any opinions would be a pleasure to read.

    hmmm, not bad, but I think the CPU is overkill relative to the GPU (especially if its DDR2). If you're gaming, for that price, I think you could get a Geforce 260, or a 4830 or something.
