price / specs is still very good, and if anything the new design looks sturdy. good-looking is not what i would call it though.]]>Jul 9th 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/
Doesn't the Santa Rosa chipset have to have 802.11n in it?

Plus, I read two reviews of this laptop - one on Cnet and another on LaptopMag - and while Cnet states it doesn't have 802.11n, the latter states that it does.

Can you guys clear that up?]]>Jul 9th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/

It also can play HD-DVD movies which for that price might mean that HD-DVD drives are being dumped from suppliers. This is the best deal since the E-machine M6805. ]]>Jul 9th 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/You are an idiot.]]>Jul 9th 2007 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/
I don't see any advantage in having these in the front either - what's wrong with headphone jacks on the side? How is it better when they are in the front?]]>Jul 9th 2007 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/2) It looks like a plastic toy
3) Acer is crap anyway...]]>Jul 9th 2007 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/Jul 9th 2007 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/
This laptop is a little controversial, in the sense that the specs mentioned on Acer's website are not the specs that are in the laptop being sold by Best Buy for 1299$. Check the two pages. Here's the link for the Best Buy page (the link for the Acer website is in the article):

"Product models and specifications may vary depending on country. Please contact your local Acer office."

also notice that they are not exactly the same model number

the US version sold at BB is AS5920-6313
the euro version is AS5920-6661

nothing strange from what I see. We actually just got these at our BB about a week ago, probably the best gaming laptop we have, but it's still an Acer lol]]>Jul 9th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/09/acers-as5920-gemstone-hits-us-retail/
