Has anyone here purchased the Aspire One 8 GB XP version? I have read lots of bad performance experiences from people who have installed XP onto their SSD Aspire One but have not heard from those who have purchased it with XP factory installed.
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to find info on an aspire... Not the model # itself as that is not the problem, but the sub model#...
The model is Acer Aspire 8930G, but the sub model # is 6963 and that is where my research seems to go dry... Does anyone have info on this sub model #?
Also i might ask is how user friendly is the 8930G for upgrades as for the processor and video? The current processor is the T5800 with the 9600m nvidia... Would it make sense to upgrade and what is the potential of this 8930G with the T5800?
I am thinking about buying an Acer Aspire 8920 as a multi media laptop and am therefore very interested in the TV Tuner availability.
which model(s) of the 8920 has the integrated TV Tuner ?
Also is this model available in the UK ? If not available now, when is likely UK introduction date?
Is the TV tuner in the 8920 effective ?
Notebook was brought to me dead. Meaning it will not start, no fans come on nothing.
I was told to keep it because of cost of replacement board.
So I have been reading in these forums that the motherboard might/can be change for a different one, other then the original(MB.TEB06.003). Like to know if this can be or has been done.
Also, if not can this mobo MB.TEB06.003 handle a duel-core cpu/
I recently picked up a nice 1410, the 12" version. Looking around on Acer's site it appears they used this name in the past for a 14" laptop as well? Is the new 1410 the laptop people are discussing in the other threads with the Timeline?
The primary reason I ask is because I'd like to buy another AC adapter off Ebay, and it seems many that come up for the 1410 may be for the old laptop. Is there some other model or part number I should be searching for?
I have a friend who bought an Acer Aspire 5315 model icl50 with Vista from her nephew. He included a router with it which he used to get online. I have a desktop and know nothing about notebooks. I have an idea of the function of a router but what I'd like to know is does she have to use the router to access the internet? Can't she use a wifi card instead? If so what kind? She lives in a rural area that doesn't have cable internet services and her only option has been AT&T dsl which she really doesn't care for as AT&T keeps having problems with it and it's a toss of the coin on which days it wants to work.

As a reasonably new Acer user and sometimes helper on this forum, what I find most irritating about Acer is their numbering system. Having mostly used Toshiba's before, Iwas used to progressive numbering with their models.
ie; A50,A60,A70 and so on now up to around A350 etc. Acer however, seems to be all over the place with their model numbers.
I have had a breakthrough in my laptop experience. I actually opened it up.
I followed the manual and no problems as of yet.
My question is the point in me opening up my laptop was to find the motherboard make and model and revision version number. I was checking to see if there was a bios update for this laptop and the advice given was to get the exact motherboard make etc..
and the best advice on how to get an exact match was to open it up. I did and I searched as far as my cheap tools would let me. I was able to remove the cpu fan but when I went to remove the cpu heatsink I could not get the screws to budge. According to the manual the cpu is beneath the cpu heat sink and this is where I thought I needed to go to find the motherboard make and model etc...
I did see the tweak sticky about installing the bluetooth model on the AS1410.
Its there a picture with step by step on it?
This the module that I bought:

Kiwi (new zealander) here, ive been sortof eyeing the cw series and looking for some kindof equivalent over this way, we do seem to have a previous iteration. however sony model numbers are doing my head in,

(edit) durr need model number too, S Series apparently, Sony Vaio VPCS117GGB.
2.40 GHz Intel Core i5-520M Processor
4GB DDR3 Ram .....
My question is, what free utility can I use that will identify the make and model of the components on my Studio 1737? More specifically the LCD/LED display

After failing to find my perfect Windows Laptop for college next year (ive gone through 2 laptops that failed me already). I'm thinking of going the Mac Route.
Question is, how much difference does 2 gigs of RAM to 4 gigs of RAM make and is there any other difference besides spec in last seasons model to the summer model?
This Dell document (which isn't that new) tends to confirm the assumptions about the numbering of the refreshes of the Latitude / Precision series.
The Dell Client Deployment Pack 1.0 supports the following Dell
systems:
Quote:
Latitiude Series
XT2, XT2 , XFR , D420 , D500 , C510 , Z600 , E5410 , E5510 , E5400
E5500 , LT , E4310 , E4300 , E6510 , E6500 , E4200 , XT , E6410
E6410 ATG , E6410 XFR , E6400 , E6400 ATG , XFR E6400
OptiPlex Series
160L , 780 , 780USFF , 380 , GX1 , 580 , 960 , 760 , 360 , 745 , 755
760 , 745c , xE , 980
Precision Series
M4500 , M4400 , 390 , M6300 , M4300 , T7400 , T5400 , M2300 , T7500
T500 , T3500 , M6400 , R5400 , M6500 , R5400 , T3400
This suggests that the Latitude numbers are what everyone assumed they would be. The M6500 has arrived but, so far, Google isn't unearthing anything about the E4310, E6410 and E6510.
The S1440/Studio 14z is constantly running hot for me. It is running the fan all the time and very hot air blowing. I can also hear the hard drive making some noise some times ...Is this sign of trouble. I just i have 1 browser and IM client running and no video or audio streaming going one. The fan is constantly running & blowing hot air...
Anyone facing the same issues..Should i try getting an exchange from BBY ...I would appreciate any tweaks which may be needed to make it work cooler. It is hot to the extent of uncomfortable on lap.
Ok just reserved my one - Gonna to pick it up in a little while

When I go to watch Lost on Hulu it plays fine in small screen. When I go to full screen it is fine until I pause it. Then when I resume play the picture is choppy. Then to get rid of choppy play I must either exit the site and relog in or if I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete then close Ctrl-Alt-Delete it will resume normal play until I hit pause again. I have had it back to BB for the problem but they dont know what is causing it. I cannot exchange it for another because the new products are coming out in a few weeks and this one is no longer available. I really like this one and I cannot believe this is a major issue. I really dont want to exchange this unit I would rather have it repaired even if I have to do it myself.
