Weird acer 6920 spooted at Costco Canada

So I saw a acer 6920 for $999 at my local costco (in canada)
weird thing is it's specs don't appear to match any of the three models listed on acer canada's site...

it has a 9500M graphics card, so its not a 6920-6731 model, which has an integrated x3100

it doesn't have a blu-ray player so its not the 6920-6428

but it has 3GB RAM so it's not the 6920-6610 model which has 4GB of RAM

Does anybody know what model this one might be? I'm curious because I would like to know its full specs. I am especially interested in whether it has a 6-cell or 8-cell battery.

Thanks

 

The same model is sold on NCIX for a lot less. Apparently it has a 6 cell battery.

 

yeah i don't think thats the same one

that only has 250GB and integrated graphics

vs 320GB and nvidia 9500M from the costco model

 

That's weird I think costco might have made a mistake. The costco model doesn't seem to exist or it coult be a costco-only 6920.

 

yeah that is really weird...

on staples.ca
http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=737990&AffixedCode=WW

theres a model with the same specs for the same price

model number is 6920-6470, which shouldn't exist

...

 

Yeah but it does look like the one from costco. Maybe acer's website just isn't up-to-date. This would explain why some models are missing.

 

oh looks like its not the same

wonder if its worth an extra $100 to get the 6920-6428 (bluray+8cell battery)

 

I think the upgrade is worth it, the 8-cell battery has awesome battery life and blu-ray, well let's just say it's a $500 option on some Dell's...

 

Your better off callling or emailing Costco for full specs.

It is most likely an exclusive to Costco.

Meaning that the laptop was built to the specs that Costco wanted specifically.....but will still be part of the 6920 models/series.

Like certain advertised laptops at Futureshop or Best Buy they will state that it is an exclusive to their store.

 

i have this laptop.. im actually on it right now. its not specific to costco. mine came from staples actually. it doesn't have the blu-ray unfortunately, but it does have a lot of other things. im big into music and the speakers in it are cutting edge. i would recommend this notebook to anyone

 

I got mine in costco and it has no blue ray, it has 3 gb of ram, a 320Gb HDD, and a 9500 GS

 

how do you find it?
any major pros/cons?

only reason i haven't gotten it yet is that i don't know if the centrino2 gemstones are coming here anytime soon

 

I love it!! Ir runs games really well and movies look great on it. It fast and its just a great laptop!

 

I got the 6920G for 697 today at Staples. Sealed box and everything.

 

i bought it at costco, having major problems with it. i cant return it anymore, costco extended warranty srvice is a joke. they told me to do a system restore. I had this problem from day 1.........

all i want to do is get a good computer. costco sucks/.

 

how long have u had it for?
if i recall correctly, they have a 3month (or is it 6?) return policy

 

its 3 months... i never knew about it. they won't change it anymore. and there conierge service is a complete joke. all they can do is a system restore
