You'll most likely need Win7 version of the drivers and software. Not sure if the Vista version would be compatible.

ACER has released the LaunchManager (Application Tab) to manage the Empowering Technology since October 23rd. I haven't tested it yet, but it must solve the compatibility problem when using the one for Vista.

There is a Acer Aspire 6920 for sale. The owner says it is less than a year old. I have seen the system and it looks quite good. However, I wanted to know if there are thing I should consider and check before buying it.

Secondaly, there is also Acer Aspire 6935g laptop for sale. I saw on the acer website and it says it has 512 MB dedicated graphics but the website from which could be buying it says it has 256 MB dedicated graphics. Here is the link to the site: http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/stor...m=null&tm=null

Looks like it is a mistake but would like to hear from you.

Finally i wanted to know if this is the forum you be most active on or what. I tried to email you at Darika@notebookreview.com but i got message failure so this was the only way to contact you. would be nice if you could let me know your IM id or email.

Thank You

Hey Vanquisher i think u shud go for the 6935g its a really good machine and my opinion is u go for it rather than the 6920. but, thats my opinion. Ive bought the same refurbished system from Currys (Currys, Dixons and PC World have the same laptop listings as they come under one group bla bla). The specs on the 6935G are the same as listed on the website and for ure info the graphics card has a dedicated 512mb for the graphics card, says on the website as well " * 16" Full HD WXGAG8 * Blu-Ray with DVD ReWriter Optical Drives * 512 dedicated up to 1791mb Graphics * Wireless Enabled * Gloss Black Colour"... i think its a good buy at the price but u shud know that i u only get the laptop and charger kit in the box nothing else, whereas if u buy the laptop as new it comes with a media centre remote, the usual manuals and i think a DVB-T antenna...lemme know if u have anymore enquiries...cheers

Dear darika,

you are really a very good observations on 6935g. i want to ask a questions.

can we upgrade it's processor after warranty end because it's coming with 2.0 can we put 2.6or something better processor on it??

and my 2nd question is that can we upgrade it's memory DDR2 to DDR3 ???

and is there any problem is coming in it like heating problem stuck because i am a designer and i have to use adobe corel etc for near about 20 hours per day.

i am asking that i am going to buy this machine.

is this better then dell, hp ?????

thanks for your help to new comers.

No you cant upgrade from DDR2 to DDR3 because of the different motherboard.

achutngpakhtoon · 10-31-2009, 07:51 AM

boska its not the best idea to think about upgrading as that is a bit tricky especialy if u plan on doing it yourself and like Eugene91 mentioned some components may not be compatible. its best to buy as high specced a machine u can if possible.. look up this thread some more info. The two laptops that u linked to are good in their own right, the HP mini is a totally different league but the Dell Studio XPS 16 (hope these are the ones that u linked) has a bit more classy looks i think...but ive read about it overheating, whereas the ACER does much better....i also think the graphics card on the Dell isnt as good as the ACER...pricewise the ACER is a better buy and from the reviews u can see that the 6935g is a good solid buy...

boska · 10-31-2009, 10:15 AM

dear achutngpakhtoon,

thanks for your reply i heard from my friend that you can upgrade the process of 6935g therefore i ask that in future may be i need to upgrade the processor.

you was talking about dell system i saw dell systems are not much good finished like 6935g you can say that i love it at first sight lolzzzzzzzz

what you say how much time you have this and is there any problem came into ???

heating problem etc ????

some of my friend telling me that never buy acer it's not good acer can give lot of problems after purchase etc etc dell hp are good what you say about it???

achutngpakhtoon · 10-31-2009, 04:05 PM

Well if you want to know if u can upgrade the processor then well u can, but there is a limit to it. As in u can only upgrade to a maximum C2D 2.8 GHz cpu for the 6935G due to the motherboard (anything above that 'may' have compatibilty issues) and also its not easy to get the cpu changed u will have to find the right person for the job.
In my opinion Dell's are thought to be better machines by consumers than ACER's...this may have been the case before but ACER has come a long way in terms of reliability and quality and well DELL has and is still considered a pretty good machine....if u wnt to decide between both then u have to look at the specifications of the laptops that u want to buy and the price. For me the 6935G was good for my money and i got it way cheaper than the DELL Studio Xps 16....so in the end it is up to u to decide bcos i think both machines are about the same (except for a few odd differences).
Well i've had my 6935G for about 3 months now and thankfully i have had no problems and no overheating. I do play quite a bit of gaming in my free time (when i get it) and the laptop keeps warm at the most even if u play for a few hours.
Well i think ure friend is wrong in that, because seriously i have never bought aN ACER before and i had the same opinion like him before i bought this 6935G and well now i think the opposite. I think the 6935G is a really good machine, you wont be dissappointed. Also ACER last month became the 2nd largest computer seller in the world (in the US as well) which speaks volumes on their success.
Look around for more laptops if u arent satisfied it took me almost 10 months to make a decision, and the release of Windows 7 is bringing more newer latops to the market so u can always look at those. let me know if u have any more questions. always a pleasure to help. cheers.
