    I am thinking about getting a 5920, the one with the 8600gt video card.Anyone now if all of them being sold in the US have the 4200 rpm hard drive?That is abit too slow for me so I am looking for one that has the 8600gt and a 5400 hard drive available in the US.

    What's more Acer started using some new Hitachi 250GB 5400rpm drives that are very fast in TravelMate 5720 series so I guess those new 5920s will get those too.
