Review:
looks good does what it say's on the tin , dont think for the money there is another laptop with this much specification on it for the money, i have one gripe this is the 8920 acer i have the 8930g-g50 which comes with a quad core processor and ddr3 mem plus all the othere gadgets, so if u thinking of buying this model dont get the 8930 with the quad processor for the extra 100 pound its worth it .
SPECIFICATION 8930
Quad core 9000 2ghz with 6mb cache
now there is a mobile 2.8ghz processor out qx9300 which would be a great cpu upgrade for this model sahem acer didn't put one in it and direct this laptop at the gamer market of which i am sure it would be a winner although i have no com-plaints with the 2ghz quad at the moment and the graphics are very good with the nvidia 9600gt with 512 dedicated graphics here is some realtime specification from pc world site for the quad core system

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
