    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering if the Aspire 9120 is a reliable, sturdy, long lasting computer. What are the main pros and cons about this computer? I am considering it because it has the Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card but I want to make sure that it is an overall good pick. Also, if you own one can you tell me about how much you paid for it because I want to know if it fits my budget. Did you order this computer online or from a store and what location did you buy it from? I am trying to find this computer in the USA at Best Buy, Circuit City, or TigerDirect but am unable to do so...so I was wondering if this model can only be purchased in other countries and/or only online.

    Thanks for viewing and helping me :)

    xoxo

    It seems to be one of last years models. I've looked around and can't seem to find it for sale anywhere. Not much info this site either. I have a Acer 5672 and can say that I find it reliable and with a good build, and would recommend Acer as a good quality laptop. Did you get a chance to look at the Asus A8J (from your previous post), still probably you best bet for a small, great priced laptop that has a decent vid card.

    Unless you go with the new Acer Gemstone 5920, your gaming is going to be impacted be Acer using the 64 bit video card. My 5672 has a ati 1600 and may son's Asus s91j has the same card, but it is 128 bit and runs games at better frame rates than mine. I also believe that ASUS makes a better product than Acer. I still like my Acer, it has a few more features then his, but I believe Asus has a better build and quality.

    Look here to see the ratings of laptop vid cards.
