    Hi,

    does anyone know where I can buy the ACER 5930g in the UK? It seems to be sold out everywhere or shops no longer seem to sell it.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Richard

    That's not the correct one because it has 9300m GS ...
    The 'true' 5930G has 9600m GT GDDR3 dedicated gpu (so be careful).

    As for the laptop itself ... I also noticed it was sold out virtually everywhere or not listed on the websites anymore (at least as far as UK is concerned).

    Just what exactly is happening?
    It's possible the recession is influencing this as well.

    In stock at both Laptops Direct and Acer Direct from what I can see:

    laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_5930G_Laptop_LX.AQ40X.040/version.asp

    acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_5930G_Laptop_LX.AQ40X.040/version.asp

    I can't post urls yet so just paste that in your browser.

    They are pretty much the same company. I bought the 5930G a few weeks ago from Laptops Direct. Brilliant laptop, incredible value for money.

    I went to acerdirect and went to purchase all the way to payment and it never told me it wasn't in stock so i'm guessing it is in.

    It wasn't in stock yesterday on that same website.
    So they must have received a new stock.
    Excellent.
    :D
