Acer Aspire 5940G - Core i7 - Owner's Lounge

For people who own this laptop.



I received mine yesterday and overall it's a very good laptop.



i might do a small review later.



The only problem i am having right now is that it has a few random major lags when i do stuff and sometimes hangs when i watch blu ray movies.

What is the resolution of the screen? I hear that 1366x768 is the only option offered?

yeah it's only 1366x768 which is a bit small for this laptop.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with it. Currently working my way through Mass Effect and it can play it with all the setting set to high so I am happy. Just needs a notebook cooler to lower the temperatures slightly but otherwise it is very good.

Please post HWMonitor ScreenShots.

You can run it in the background while gaming

It will give the gfx extra life tbh.

Here is a HWmonitor screenshot of my 5940G at idle and during playing STALKER clear sky. At complete max settings the game avg frame rate was 8-12fps so it isn't too bad for a mid range GPU.

What mxm type is the graphic card? I think it should be 1gb gddr3 550Mhz/800Mhz ddr3 but is there any possibility to be mxm-II type. Unfortunately i've seen pictures of it and the back plate is half size of the previous models; the hottest part is middle left side so the graphic card should be placed there but there seems to be no access directly to the graphic card and cpu from backside, (only by removing the keyboard you can reach but I don't(can't) want and I don't recommend anyone to do this). Where can we learn the mxm type?
