500 GB SATA/ 2GBDDR3
15.6inchHD 1366x768
nvidia 130 GT 2815MB og TURBO CACHE
fingerprint
and etc.

rm3999

ya i need to compare it with dell too...since the price is about the same...

main weakness is the graphic card...

i won't say that it's weak... but it's use of DDR2 as frame buffer (note: it's different frm the DDR2 used as system RAM) drags the potential performance of the GPU... a 1 yr old BenQ S42 with GeForce 9600M GT and GDDR3 (note again: 9600M GT and GT 130M ve the same spec, but the latter is clocked faster) has roughly the same performance...

an alternative is BenQ S57, if u dun mind the design..

astria,dell using ddr3 ram??they show me that it could perform 1074mb++of graphic card even it is 512 mb ati hd3670...is that true??which graphic better?acer or dell??i want to make my final decsion today....im sorry benq design is not my taste...lol

Dell SXPS 16's HD3670 uses GDDR3...

3D Mark 06 wise, both SXPS 16 and 5935 ve abt the same score...

seriously for 5935, if Acer is willing to use GDDR3 instead, it would ve pwned many laptops in the market...

as for the "extra" frame buffer problem, the extra actually comes from ur system RAM... yes, the card itself ve 512MB, but if it's insufficient, it would borrow some from the system and use as frame buffer...

but seriously, dun worry abt that, 512MB is sufficient by today's standard...

oh so it could share it??if talk about service??dell is definitely better than acer rite??i wonder how is the service in australia...will it better than mas??ok then i will confirm to dell...thanks for it astria!!!

how about the acer graphic card with 1gb dedicated and 1.7gb for shared memory. and the turbo cache thingy??

seriusly, dun care too much abt TurboCache and Hyper Memory, seldom do u really need that...

1GB is definetely overkill by today's standard unless u re using an uber card (think GeForce GTX 280M...)

its really the users preference.. i think acer cinebass speakers are nice though..

i'll to buy 5935G also...great design from acer...130GT is perfect combination...sound vry good

oh ok. I was scared the graphic performance was lousy. and nearly choose asus f81se24dpm over that acer.. still haven get my laptop yet ..

f81se24dpm use 4570, but 5935G use 130M ...

well, for the same graphic performance, it can be found in BenQ S42...

for better performance at the same price as the 5935, there's BenQ S57...

yes performance wise i think it would be wise for you to get BenQ S57..

you want performance+design+nice speakers 5935G would be nice

s57 got good spec but design ,out of my taste very out date design from benq,very ugly for my eyes

agree with u about the design.If u want design+performance,i recommend ASUS N50VN although not sure whether they are still available or not and DELL STUDIO XPS 16

is it true tat acer 5935 is only available in malaysia ??

seen, touched and tried but never buy in Singapore...
