i just ordered mine a few days ago, i went for the 8920 and i camt wait to get it.
about the cinedash controls - it has a button for you to press when you dont want the touch sensitive controls to be active, so theres no need to worry about touching it accidently.
i personally like the design and the way it looks, its by no means the prettiest, but to be totally honest that is the last thing i look for in a notebook. i was looking for good performance, a good screen and blu ray, so this lappy (on paper anyway) seems to fit the bill.
of course i may end up a disappointed acer owner. im getting this mostly for viewing blu rays, web browsing and doing 2d animation (maybe 3d animation too if it can cope) and i'll let you know how it is when i get it and play around on it for a bit.
