Intel's new processor architecture displayed significant performance increases over previous models. For example, Asus's G71Gx, which uses a Core 2 Quad Mobile Q9000 chip, scored only 78 overall in our benchmarks. The Core i7's clever trick is its Turbo Boost Technology. This overclocks the processor automatically when you perform demanding tasks. The 720QM's base speed is 1.6GHz, compared to 2GHz for the Q9000, but the new chip can overclock a single core as high as 2.8GHz, or spread the speed boost across two or four cores as required.

The Acer Aspire 5940G comes with express card, 4 USB, 1 Firewire, a VGA, an infra red port, eSATA, Audio connections and a 6 in 1 card reader. It also comes with a Wifi and an Ethernet to give you the internet connectivity. You can also connect to the internet through the Wimax. Thus it’s having all the necessary ports available that are required in a good laptop.

The Acer Aspire 5940G AC adapter packs one of the most powerful processors today, a HD graphics solution, and fast memory for smooth-running multimedia and demanding applications. Keep your files on a spacious hard drive, enforced by a fingerprint solution that also doubles as a quick-launch and navigation tool.

The high-gloss trend isn't only questionable for displays but obviously the manufacturers - amongst them Acer, too - feel obliged to pursue it. The new multimedia notebooks from the manufacturer are definitely something for piano lacquer fetishists - there are ample high-gloss surfaces on these notebooks. Adjacent to the 18.4 inch display giant, the Aspire 8940G, the smaller brother, Aspire 5940G, ends up on our test bench. Acer squeezes the laptop in the densely packed multimedia and all-round laptops with the new Intel Core i7 processor, a state-of-the-art AMD Radeon graphic, a BluRay drive and multimedia control elements and tries to captivate not just with its looks.

With the highest scores coming from the entertainment tests, it’s clear that Acer has managed to build a machine deserving of the media control touchpad and the subwoofer which takes up the rear third of the machine. The backlit keyboard is also a nice touch for controlling films in the dark, but it certainly doesn’t help the Acer Aspire 5940G battery life.

Connect and communicate reliably with your family and friends from anywhere in the world through Wi-Fi or the advanced WiMAX connectivity option. Make good use of the Aspire 5940's high-def webcam and noise-suppressing microphone for memorable video chats with someone special.

Standby devours 0.6 watt and when deactivated 0.4 watt - these values could be better. By the way, there is also an energy savings button on the notebook. When you trigger it - nothing happens. The energy savings plan isn't changed nor adjusted and the display brightness isn't regulated, either. Acer should make improvements in its software.

Apart from this gripe, the screen is gorgeous, with good brightness levels and vibrant colours. It uses an LED backlight, which we found to be even across the entire screen. The glossy finish isn't ideal for brightly lit rooms, but it does lend a pleasingly saturated look to deeper shades.

A further technological treat is the Intel Core i7 processor - it is currently applied in many new notebooks of a higher performance class. Barely anyone would have believed a year ago that four core processor would find their way into affordable middle class notebooks. The built-in 720QM is the smallest mobile Core i7 prozessors currently available. But it already bids a good computing performance with a clock rate of up to 2.8 GHz and also due to hyperthreading, thus eight logical cores. A four GByte DDR3 RAM working memory, together with Intel's new chip set, P55, always supply the processor with enough data to compute. Most games, however, merely benefit from the turbo function, which partly overclocks the processor. Only few games can use the processor's efficiency completely, e.g. by distributing the AI calculation on the cores. In return, video or image editing software usually feel at home on the many cores.

A solid state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that, similarly to flash drives, uses solid-state memory to store persistent data, but is designed to replace a traditional hard drive (HDD). The benefits of a SSD in comprasion to traditional HDD are smaller energy consumption, speed (in terms of data access), and higher reliability. Currently, however, SSD are more expensive and offer lower capacity than regular HDD, and are therefore seldom in use.

If you’re one of those people who won’t accept second best and wants the ultimate in laptop technology then you need the Acer Aspire 5940G laptop. Just to prove it’s at the forefront of technology it comes with the brand new Windows 7 operating system, so you know you’ll be strides ahead of everyone else.

But as so often, this low resolution, especially vertically, will not suit everyone, particularly those who practice of photo editing, office, surfing or multimedia tasks, which is unfortunate given the processor board. Finally, Acer Aspire 5940G charger seems that the installed edition of Windows 7 is not a 64-bit, which is a shame if it is because it would have been able to fully support 4GB of RAM unlike a grinding 32 bits.
