    Hi everyone
    In the past I've bought all my laptops and they have come with restore disks, which contains the os and system drivers. I am in the market for an Acer Aspire 4920, and I have read that with Vista you no longer get them. Can any retailer of these computers clarify? I absolutley no nothing about formatting/installing os, so in the past these cd's have been life savers. I wouldn't know what to do if my new computer does not come with these. Thanks

    Yes, acer don't come with their own restore disc nor OS disc but restore disc can be easily create. You just need to get ready for 2 Dvds.

    The way is pretty simple so i doubt it will bother you.
