Going for it...

Hi there!

im sorry for posting so many threads (different, of course) all over the forums... im just really nervous because i have to decide which laptop to buy in 2 weeks!

I thought of getting the 5920G with the following configuration:

CONFIGURATION

2048 (2 x 1024 MB) MB DDR2
160 GB.
DVD Supermulti (is this HD?)
nVidia GeForce Go X8600 GT 256Mb up to 1024Mb Turbocache
LAN Ethernet 10/100/1000
WLAN 802.11 a/b/g
Litio-Ion 8 cells
15,4" Cristalbright 8ms, WXGA
weigh 2,8 Kg.
Windows Vista Home Pemium original
Warantee 2 years
Orbicam: CrystalEye 30fps

the total price is 1199€ (1,636.27 USD)

QUESTIONS

1.-is it good price?

2.-will there be any problems running old games on vista (Lock on, Rome total war...)?

3.-should i get this or the Zepto 6324W?

4.-is acer technical support good?

5.-Isn't this laptop Pentium 4-ish in terms of thickness?

Thanks a lot!

 

hello?? anybody?

 

1.-is it good price? <- don't know, but I paid $1249 for mine (with 1.5Gh C2D & HD-DVD) which I think was a bargain

2.-will there be any problems running old games on vista (Lock on, Rome total war...)? <- I tried a few, no problems

3.-should i get this or the Zepto 6324W? <- whatever floats your boat

4.-is acer technical support good? <- who cares as long as you get good deal. I've owned various brands and never had to use support for anything major

5.-Isn't this laptop Pentium 4-ish in terms of thickness? <- it's thick and heavy for sure, but it's not meant to be used for portability. You can expect to have 8600GT GPU in a smaller laptop

the model you are buying doesn't have HD-DVD

 

Acer and Technical support... What Tec. support? you mean the number you call when your bored because your computer broke and all you want them to do is fix it; but they first have to insult your intelligence 3-4 time; call you a lier; blame the problem on you, and if you survive that they arranging the shipping. yes they have that.

in case you did not get the sarcasm, I have had issues with acer's tec. support.

 

the tech support in uk is a joke, in my view!! everytime i send my laptop to them...they fix it... but they also damage it aswell for some reason so i always have to send it back to get it sort out what they damaged

im using my bros account, i have an aspire 9114!

 

tech support in canada is not too bad

 

thanks... isnt the 5920 good for portability? is it very thick and heavy?

 

I need urgent help please!

 

It's Not thick as OLD Pentium4 class laptops. It weight nearly 3Kg.
