Question from pworg: Asked on 13/06/2009 would you recommend this model for Autocad use?
If not which model.

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 15/06/2009
Autocad needs a lot of processing power, ram, a dedicated graphics and a high resolution screen to get the most out of it which this laptop has, so yes although the Thinkpad range has a couple of laptops which are specifically built for professional design work - although they are very, very expensive machines with amazing specs.

Question from bobsmikl: Asked on 20/09/2008 what is the better choise for gaming and general computing, the acer 6920G or this, the 8920G ?

Answer from peterh: Answered on 22/09/2008
The 6920G is basically a 16-inch version of the 8920G - You won't notice a difference between the two in terms of gaming or general computing performance. If you require better portability then I would suggest the 6920G over the 8920G as it is smaller and lighter, but the 8920G does have an 18.4-inch screen which is superb for games and movies.

Question from ct2287: Asked on 09/09/2008 Hi, I was wondering if you could answer my question: I'm likely to get the Acer Aspire 8920G Gemstone Blue Laptop - LX.AP50X.342, so it will have Windows Vista Home Premium I think, will I have to also buy Office 2007?

Question from Wind-pig: Asked on 28/08/2008 I'm looking to purchase a laptop for video editing. Do any of your laptops come with firewire? I'm looking at the Acer Aspire 8920G Gemstone Blue Laptop.

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 28/08/2008
The 8920G does not use Firewire, in favour of using High-Speed USB2.0 instead. If you need firewire, look at the 9920G or 7720G - Please check the technical specification before buying, as some models do not have the firewire port - but the ones with it will have it listed under 'Expansion/Connectivity - Interfaces' in the technical specification. Look for IEEE 1394 or Firewire (same thing).
