    I really want to buy a 5920 with a t7300 2.0ghz. And the only place i know where to get one it best buy which sells it with a 1.5ghz processor :/

    Where can i get one with 2.0ghz and maybe draft n wireless card?

    Im willing to spend like 1400ish on it.

    I dont understand. The difference is only the processor, bluetooth, and wireless n.

    The T5250 Cost about 150, and the t7300 costs about 250.
    I can get a stupid USB Bluetooth dongle for 5$. Or dell gives an option for bluetooth for 20$ on their site.
    Wireless N costs about 100+, but i dont really even need it because colleges wont upgrade to N because they cant. Not everyone will have N.

    So thats at MOST at 300$ upgrade. Bestbuy now sells the 5920 for 1150$, I dont understand why they are charging 1950+ for the better model.

    oh and i forgot 160gb to 200gb, newegg sells 160gb for 120 at most, and a 250gb for 200. 200gb must be somewhat a little less. So thats add another 50$.

    This model should be at most like 1500$. At a 1900 price range, a Asus G1S would freaking distroy it. It would honestly open its mouth and EAT the acer. I can get a new Asus for 1720 flat.

    t7500 vs t7300... ddr3 vs ddr2... 1280 x 800 vs 1680 x 1050...
    Acer is dumb :/

    You could easily swap out the 1.5ghz for a 2.0ghz if you don't care about having the other stuff.

    Just purchase the Best Buy 1.5ghz for 1,299.00 + add 250.00 (or less, shop around) for an Intel T7300, in which the total cost would equal somewhere around 1,549.00. That should work with your budget. The rumor is that the core 2 duo's are going to get a price decrease soon.

    Hi,

    I am surprised that the Acer 5920 is so expensive over there - here I can get the "2000MHz Intel Core2 Duo Mobile T7300 - 2GB DDR2-SDRAM 667Mhz - 200GB HDD - DVD+-RW/RAM - Bluetooth - Vista Home Pre." Model for 1,199 EUR - which converts to some $ 1,570.69.

    I really think that you're better off with G1s in the US unless you're willing to buy 5920G at some other countries, which may turn out to be as expensive as the 2.0Ghz BestBuy model.
