CNET UK judgement:
The Aspire 5920 is a candidate for the ugliest laptop of the year. It's smeared in enough grey to put British skies to shame, and has has some absolutely awful design touches. But the rest of the laptop is a very good one. It's fast, feature-packed and is excellent value for money
