Acer rounds up the package by providing an ExpressCard slot, a memory card reader supporting most popular formats, Wi-Fi (including 300Mbps 802.11n support), infrared and an integrated Crystal Eye webcam. Software includes the very useful Acer Empowering Technology (Acer eNet, ePower, ePresentation, eLock, eRecovery, eSettings Management), which you can read more about here. You also get a trial of Norton Internet Security, NTI CD-Maker and CyberLink PowerProducer.
Performance
The Aspire 5920 is a very quick laptop.
Gamers will be interested to hear it scored 3,288 in 3DMark 2006. This
trounces the 2,344 achieved by the Asus Lamborghini VX2. It was also impressive in real-world tests, propelling the graphically intensive F.E.A.R to 28 frames per second.
As expected, it had no trouble running more mundane applications. It munched its way through our PCMark 2005 test,, racking up 4,739, which is higher than the theoretically quicker Asus V1J. We suspect the Intel Turbo Memory played a role here, although the extra 1GB of system memory obviously doesn't hurt either.
Battery life was about average for this sort of laptop. It lasted 133 minutes in our BatteryEater test, which is exactly long enough to let you watch The Blues Brothers on DVD.
Conclusion
The Aspire 5920 is a well-equipped PC that
offers fantastic value for money. It's not as attractive or as
well-designed as the Asus Lamborghini VX2, for example, but if you
don't mind the beige it's certainly worth considering.

Good: Performance, keyboard, screen.
Bad: DVD Recorder, speakers, Wi-fi and specially HEAT!!
Comment: I'm a graphic designer and this was my first laptop. It was so fast and that's useful because i can show and change in real time my works in front of the customer. The screen is also a good point, it's easy to show what's in the computer to a bunch of people.
In the other hand the first thing that pissed me was his wi-fi that stoped working once in a while (I'm not sure is it was just me though...). Also, the DVD-Recorder is so bad, it has trouble reading a lot of DVD's and CD's and i had some problems writting too. That's why i purchased an external DVD Recorder and it was so much better.
The worst thing of all was the heat, i purchased this laptop 4 years ago i even installed extra fans under the laptop and even with this the laptop destroyed himself with his heat. Time to buy another one...

Good: It is actually quite good when it comes to all the new games, it runs them fast, and without any big issues that you will find with other computers.
Bad: It is very hot where you usually have your left hand, when you play games like "WoW" then you need the "W,A;S;D" to move, and if you try to have your hand on to the computer, then you will burn yourself.
Comment: This Laptop, is good overall, but... The heat is something every First-Person-Shooter gamer will hate!
It runs fast though, when you think about what grapichs it can handle before it going to slow down drastically. If you even try to have games like "Starcraft 2" on the highest then this computer laggs BAD! Even in offline mode when playing.
But the Laptop can have many games and other program softwares on it (including movies that has been downloaded and etc.) without any problems on the graphical settnings on games, and the speed it runs on.
And once again "but".... The gray color on the inside is EVIL! I hate it above anything else, but if you have a computer like this that runs smoothly, then the evil-paintjob-from-Lucifer wouldn't matter that much :)

Comment: Also I find the phrase of the verdict on the review: 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.
