First of all, forget what is written in CNET reviews. They are poor (do not ask why, but for notebooks they are poor).

This Acer Aspire 5920G-302G16MN is not bad at all. I read good review (in one Serbian forum http://www.benchmark.co.yu/forum/sho...d.php?t=136794 – you can see at least real life pictures + various screenshots from test programs).

Just stick with faster 5400rpm 160GB and later buy extended warranty as I think it comes with just 1 year.

The good (from review):
- screen, performances, solid battery’s life
The bad:
- touchpad, design is average (like usb port close to dvd tray wich blocks usage of dvd if you use that usb port)

And this Acer (as many) has problem with heat in left side (buying cooler pad is must).

P.S.
I prefer Toshiba.
