shall i buy acer 6930 ??

hello friends

i am from india

i am planning to buy a laptop this week

i was impressed by the looks, configuration and price ($920) of acer 6930(LX ASROC 017)

but all my frnds are insisting to buy dell notebook.

i searched the net and many seemed to have heating issues with acer

i will use laptop for atleast 6 hours a day continuously.

can i buy this model ?

pls help me

 

If you're not into gaming and all, then get it.

I haven't heard or had any overheating issues. Since the 6930 has a Core 2 Duo, you can undervolt it to reduce temps.

6 Hours (only? )

I've got an Acer too, and mine's been running for the past 4 days (overclocked).

 

its more of destop replacement.. i wont be carrying it out !!

i'l use it for browsing and watching movies..

and use oracle, visual studio and net beans.

 

I just bought one couples days ago. I use it for work, games, movies, and anything else. Basically, I simply keep using it everyday. So far, I don't have any problem with it. Dell, Toshiba, Sony, etc... The big brand name might gives you high quality feels. However, when you search on any brand name and you'll find they do have problems too. For the price like this you can't go wrong. But of course if you insist to get a much powerful laptop, then you got to burn more money.

 

Why not take the 6935G, it is on the same price range, right?

 

I would recommend Acer. I have The 6920G and it stays on for weeks on end (I download so I don't turn it off at night). No heating issues; the laptop runs very cool, even on carpet compared to The Sony FW140 and is cooler than most laptops I've touched, even when gaming. I use it for all-round; gaming, school work, media, etc. If you're going for purely a desktop replacement, go for the 18" version.

 

thank you for your repies

 

You're welcome, if you need to know more about 6935G, I've made a complete summary about performances, heat, monitor quality,...
