Acer 6920G
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Apr 28, 2008
  • 3.5
Powerful specifications
Good battery life
Excellent LCD panel
Oddly positioned keyboard
Gimmicky Acer software

While this new design does look stunning in its own right, it’s not without issues. Firstly the keyboard is oddly located, causing typing issues. It took a few hours of practice to reduce the typos. Secondly the physical profile of the laptop is, to put it mildly, BIG. The 6920G is aimed at the workhorse market and in this respect it fails. It’s a good deal bigger and thicker than standard laptops in this range and weighs in at a bit more.

However, that’s where the negatives end. Despite being on the thicker side, the laptop is made of solid plastic that does not squeak or flex. The hinges are firm and rock-solid. The heat vents, which many users had complained about in the past, have been repositioned to avoid causing 'laptop rash'.

When it comes to performance, the keyboard and the LCD panel are both a joy to use. The keyboard has smooth glossy keys that making typing a real pleasure. The keys have just the right elevation and more than compensate for the odd keyboard placement. The LCD as advertised is a 16-inch affair with a native resolution of 1366 x 768 (16:9), 8ms response time, and an enhanced color profile that displays about 92 percent of the color gamut.

While all this may seem a lot of technical hogwash, what it means is that the LCD is superbly designed with some of the best color, contrast, and brightness levels one can see in a screen this size. Whether you're into multimedia or just working on a Word document, the screen really shines. The touchpad is of a decent size and thanks to a good textured finish, is easy to use.

The 6920G is fairly well-equipped with regard to peripheral connectivity. It sports a dual-layer DVD writer, 4 USB slots, a VGA port, and the standard array of Ethernet and telephone jacks.

Acer Tech Support is Worse. They Can;t give answer to simple question e.g What things i need to take care while replacing existing OS (eg. Replacing Vista Home with its higher version). Infact they ask us to do google.

Prices are always taken as provided by the company and if they are off scale from our sister site compareindia.com
jayesh @ Apr 29, 2008
Hopefully you got the pricing right. Last time when you did a review on Acer laptop, who got it wrong by couple of miles. Acer used your review to showcase to the world (minus the price). This time you go wrong on price, then we would know dal me zaroor kuch kala hai
Aspire @ Apr 29, 2008
@anant the 9500M is available only on 8920, everywhere.
coolpcguy @ Apr 29, 2008
In other markets it has been lunched with nvidia GeForce 9500M 512GB VRAM and here in india with GMA X3100,
Not as GMA 950. Why the are lunching such a changed configuration in india.
