Acer Aspire 8920-6048 review

By Dan Ackerman (cnet.com)

First 18-inch display we've seen ; true 16:9 aspect ratio ; inventive media control panel mimics a remote control

Higher-end model is twice as much as lower-end version, despite minimal specification differences ; minor Blu-ray control issues ; we expected better bass from a system with a subwoofer

With Blu-ray and a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8920 is a movie fan's dream, but we'd go for the cheaper of Acers' two preconfigured models.

At $2,499, the Acer Aspire 8920-6671 is pricey choice for a nongaming machine...

Aspire 8920

By Carla Thornton (pcworld.com)

The $2599 Acer Aspire 8920 is a whole lotta laptop, crammed with so many features that we kept checking for a kitchen sink. It has a humongous screen, a Blu-ray drive, six speakers, a giant hard drive, a top-flight processor, and a gadget-laden ...

Giant-sized screen Huge hard drive

No FireWire port Display could be brighter

If you need a basic, workhorse desktop replacement, you have cheaper, more sensible choices than the Acer Aspire 8920. But if flashy looks and big-screen entertainment are your goals, the 8920 deserves a spot on your short list

Acer offers two fixed configurations of the 8920; we reviewed the beefier...

Acer Aspire 8920G

By Cisco Cheng (pcmag.com)

The Acer Aspire 8920G has the performance tools and a big, honkin' screen to wow home-theater aficionados.

Unprecedented 18.4-inch widescreen. Top-notch performance scores. 4GB of RAM. Resolution is precisely 1080p. Blu-ray burner built in. Relatively light considering the screen size. CineTouch controls are intuitive. Excellent sound quality.

Design induces yawning. Feature set is underwhelming. Pricey. Sub-par battery life.

The Acer Aspire 8920G is equipped with an unprecedented 18.4-inch screen and performance parts that are future-proofed.

Just when you thought Acer couldn't come up with another beastly laptop, the...

"Aspire 8920G Acers Top of the Line PC"

By lovebaker (cnet.com)

I would have given this a top rating if they ... 

Great screen, good media controller, put together well, fast, sleek, and easy to use

The biggest issue with the 8920G is that it supports two hard drives but does not have the capability to have them in a RAID array. For some reason they left it out of thier best unit. I was told maybe they could resolve it if I used pay support
