The smaller brother to the Aspire 8920G (by 2.4 screen inches, to be exact) looks identical to its larger, faster and costlier siblings. The quirky touch-type multimedia keys remain unchanged from its older brother. However, it’s a lot more portable, although these aren’t the type of notebooks anyone would want to cart around. It’s well built as its sibling but makes do without any without any discrete graphics powering its video subsystem. Once again 3 GB of system memory makes the 6920 snappy. Both Acers have a CPU in common.
In our collective opinion such a large, powerful notebook simply requires a graphics card and an X3100 video solution just doesn’t cut it for viewing HD content, or any kind of serious multimedia usage. And that’s the kind of user who will buy such a laptop - a person who wants a powerful notebook to replace his main desktop solution.
At Rs 49,999, the 6920 is a sturdy, large notebook meant to be plonked on to a desk and for the most part, kept there. We really wish for a discrete graphics solution on this one but if whishes were Acers, this one would be an unavoidable recommendation. As it stands, if you’re looking for a powerful desktop replacement notebook and you’re on a budget, it doesn’t get stringer than this.
