    The Acer Aspire 5920 Gemstone's white insides and gimmicky interior won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you can forgive that then this is a fast, well-featured laptop for just under £400. Read more

    There's a lot to like about Acer's Aspire 5920. Within the case there's plenty of power on offer, and it's a comfortable machine. The well-made chassis and sturdy materials also help it to live up to its £800 price tag. Read more

    • Well built, Good graphics, Strong performance
    • Poor touchpad

    A cer has been on a roll of late, with its revamped Gemstone series of laptops giving some serious competition to market leader Dell. Its Aspire 4520 – which we reviewed not so long ago – was one such model that shone as... Read more

    My primary concern was price, and at a cost of less than £400 this laptop was less than half the price of my former laptop. Acer has a respectable repute, (or so I’m told) and this was the other important factor. Read more

    It's a big all-purpose notebook that looks well at home. It copes with all domestic tasks including modern games. It has a homey design, calm but interesting. At the same time, it has a reasonable price. Read more

    Though it's bulky, the Acer Aspire 5920 makes a great choice for buyers who want both a media-friendly laptop and a portable HD DVD player that plugs into their home theatre. Read more

    • High-end features, including HD DVD drive, HDMI-out, S/PDIF, and Dolby Home Theatre sound, Handy media controls, Decent speakers, Lengthy battery life, Comfortable keyboard, Easy-to-use system management software
    • Heavy, Native resolution not as high as we'd like, Display wobbles easily, Glossy screen finish results in distracting reflections, Lacks a fingerprint reader.

    Acer's Aspire 5920 hits a great sweet spot between price, design and functionality. It might not be most portable of beasts, but it should serve as a great desktop replacement which can be wheeled around the house for all... Read more

    The Aspire 5920 is a candidate for the ugliest laptop of the year. It's smeared in enough grey to put British skies to shame, and has some absolutely awful design touches. But the rest of the laptop is a very good one. Read more

    I've had this laptop for two years, I have gotten a fatal error screen due to my brother thinking it would be fun to delete some critical system files, but I easily fixed it. Read more

    • Very good gaming, beautiful design, quite fast, nice, big screen, function keys, a lot of features.
    • Slight glare to screen, and fingerprints are easily on it.

    I recently purchased a Dell XPS M1530 premium notebook. I got it loaded with the latest of everything and had the price up to $2200 but with a promotion got it down to $1500. Read more

    • Fast! Good processor, plenty of RAM, Vista 64 Bit, Long battery life, big hard drive, nice screen
    • Don't really care for the look of it but that doesn't matter to me. Right and left buttons are very stiff. Wireless N would have been nice.

  3. Excellent cost/benefit option!
