I read that this laptop does not have an LCD latch. Does it have a magnet that holds it shut, or does it just depend on stiff hinges to keep it closed?

Just a heads up.

I've been looking into buying this laptop for about a week now, but when I went to the store today they had moved it to the clearance section and I was told that they did not currently have any on order (This was in Canada, at Staples, and the model was 6920-6470). According to the salesman, the model was discontinued.

I guess that they may be addressing the issue with the subwoofer or something. Has it been pulled anywhere else?

I think costco may have pulled it as well. I can't be sure if it's the exact same model because when I went back to check, it wasn't available anymore.

it had a T5550, 3GB RAM, 9500M, 320GB HDD, no bluray - pretty sure it was a 6920-6470

Hello acer 6920g owners!

Ive just benched my acer aspire 6920g.
It did only score 3254 3dmarks. Its tested with the default 3dmark 2006 settings.
my computer has a t9300, 4g ram, geforce 9500m, vista ultimate 32-bit, etc.
Ive read read many reviews, where its scores 3500+, with less ram and weaker processor.


What could be the reason to my "bad" score?

Hi there!
Have you tried downloading the latest drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/? That could solve your problem.
And remember that 3dmark scores are relative...
Hope it helps!

Hi all

Have had this laptop for 4 weeks. However the screen is busted and theres lines showing bright light seeping through. The laptop hasnt been dropped or misused. Anyone known if this is a common problem with this laptop.

It just has a stiff hinge. It seems to work well, I prefer it over a hinge.

Yeah, i have tried that with several drivers.
Some of them makes my screen go all black, and the other ones just makes my computer very noisy

i will try that, when i purchase vista 64-bit.

But can i use the fingerprint reader, cinedash etc. without acers "junk"(arcade etc.).?

[billen]

ive just read this at microsoft.com:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...a/default.mspx

Does that mean that i can upgrade to 64-bit with the acer recovery(vista ultimate 32-bit) i got with my acer 6920??
