I’m back with the number 2 of this series and as we are moving closer to number 1, just a sneak peek on what is upcoming on Laptop Info Today.

There will be new products that I’ll be reviewing within the next couple of months so you might want to subscribe to my RSS feed to get the latest information or updates of the new and upcoming posts via RSS.

As ever the PC show 2008 is coming to town (12 till 15 June 2008).

As always I’ll be covering that as well and judging by the overwhelming response I had received ( a staggering 200 odd visitors per day on this site), you bet I’ll be covering more tips on how to make the event work to your advantage.

Also there will be an “Izzy Rocks” column at the end of every post from now on. This is my personal opinion and comments after my overall review which you may or not find it useful. Generally it is un-bias opinion that’s all.

Now let’s get back to the topic which I’m reviewing today which is the number 2 laptop that is budgeted below the $1K value.

If you are familiar with Laptop branding, you will find this brand very familiar. It has to be because it is one of the largest notebook making companies in the world and being at number 2 it is not very surprising according to my standards .

What notebook brand am I talking about?

Of course it must be an ACER.

Acer is one of the largest notebook companies and because of it is value for money deal, the number 2 notebook of this review series is the Acer Aspire 5920-6954 notebook.

Before I move further let us check out on the specs.

1. CPU: 1.66-GHz Core 2 Duo T5450
2. Display Size (inches): 15.4
3. Wide Screen: Yes
4. Total HD Size (GB): 250
5. Min. Weight (lbs.): 7.2
6. Price When Reviewed: $999

This Acer notebook is one for the home users. Due to the large 15.4 inch widescreen LCD, you will expect it to be heavy (around 7.2 pounds in weight), that aches on my shoulders .

Unlike most budgeted laptops, this laptop is built to be HD ready (which simply means you can hook this fine electronic computer to your High Definition LCD TV). That will be awesome if you’re playing games such as Far Cry which a big LCD monitor in front of you.

In terms of sound, the speakers have an in-built sub-woofer for that nice and deep bass sound for the musical listeners out there. Best of all, you need not even need to launch Windows if you only want to listen music from the computer!

Izzy Rocks Says: -

This beauty machine is a top notch machine for home users out there. Not only it is cost effective but it has the capabilities of what high end computers are having.

My disadvantage point has only been the weight which can be a pain on the shoulders if you are always carrying it around with you.

For the gaming section, you might have to cash in a couple of bucks to get the nVdia Go GeForce 8600M GS card with 256mB graphics memory installed as the budget one will come only with the Intel 950 built in graphics.

This is a recommended product for “Home” users and all I can say is that this product is a GEM of an item.

Rating (out of ten):- 8.3

The number one budget laptop is coming very soon ……. stay tuned.
