    I am almost convinced to get the acer aspire 8920 as a desktop replacement, I wonder how it compares with the 3d capability of ps3/xbox 360.

    The one I want is 2.2GHz, 3G Ram, Nvidia 9500M GS. By how much ps3 is better than this laptop in terms of gaming capability?

    How's about they're completely different systems with mostly different controls and mostly different games?

    Gfx-wise, the 9500m GS probably can't output the same kind of gfx a ps3/xbox 360 can.

    Graphic-wise, does ps3 win 8920 by a street or by little, ie: when you compare assassin creed (ps3 version vs 8920 version).

    Just wanna know everything about a laptop before purchase

    This kind of thread is a troll thread.

    You cannot and should not compare computer(s) with consoles. Developing on consoles is diffrent than it's on computers.
    Example, PS2 = 8 years old, it can run Need for Speed ProStreet and such with high detail level and acceptable resolution, with what? 64MB of ram and 299Mhz CPU, if that would be a computer - it would barely run Win 95 for you.


    Playstation 3 gpu may have the same specs as mid-range gpu, but it will outperform them in gaming for the next seven years.

    I run assassin's creed at average 40 FPS at 1280x800 max settings except shadows at medium, AA at medium and details at 3/4. Also runs at 1680x1050 (no AA) at ~25 FPS. I use roughly a 25% overclock on the 9500m GS.

    Of course during huge combat scenes at higher resolutions can cause the FPS to drop.
