This time round I answer four questions:
1. What’s the Windows Experience Index?
2. What does a (real) DVD look like on the 8920?
3. What is the keyboard like?
4. How loud can it go?
Unfortunately I couldn’t get my hands on a VoIP Bluetooth phone or a 6920 but I’m still looking for them so this ain’t over just yet.

I’ve been trying to sum up the courage to do this for a while, and then it came to me in one quick, blindingly obvious flash.
You know the reviews section I half put up a while back? I now want to bring it down. Actually I already have.

I was shopping for a notebook for college and felt what better kind of notebook to get than a ‘gamer’ notebook.

The new Acer Aspire Gemstone, co-designed by BMW is yes, shiny. Not to mention, it is better looking in some perspectives then the older models in the Aspire series.

This review of the Acer 5920-6313 is written specifically for TheAcerGuy.com. The reason I mention this is because TheAcerGuy already has an excellent user review on the European version of the 5920 and I do not intend to cover all the same ground in my review as was already done by Jing Yeow since they are in the same case and very similar.

As a freelance IT consultant, I need a laptop to be powerful and robust. I also get to use and play with a lot of kit, whether it be my own, my clients or suppliers.
It’s been time to replace the Compaq Evo that I’ve been using for a while.

I have decided to turn the tables completely. After all, blogs are about opinions, feedback and free dialogue so what better way to support this than asking someone who actually bought an Acer laptop to reviews it and publish it here? No journalist bias or marketing spin. Just the facts…
