    I'm wondering which one to buy between


    Acer Aspire 6920G

    Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2 MB cache 2 GHz

    4Gb DDR II SDRAM - 667MHz - PC2-5300

    NVIDIA GeForce 9500M 512 Mb

    or

    Acer Aspire 5930G

    P7350, 2.0Ghz, 1066Mhz

    3 Gb DDR2, 800Mhz

    nVidia GeForce 9600 GT 512MB

    Performance is the top priority (which it seems the 5930G has the upper-hand in)

    hands down 5930g.
    768 pixels vertical is very bad (6920).

    I agree with Halo, for the specs presented, the 5930 wins - but I still like my 6920 :) 768 vertical res is great for me.

    the only reason to get the 6920 is if you really want the cinedash (which i find quite useless)

    15inch is also more practical than 16inch (especially in regards to vertical resolution)
    and in performance aspects, the 5930 beats the 6920 in every way

    i wish i waited for the 5930... btw, where is it being sold anyways? are they selling in canada yet?

    Is it - overall - a good choice for a laptop? is there one that has more bang for the buck in the same price class?
