    The more portable version of the Aspire 4720

    Good performance, sharp screen, good battery life, Acer's Gemstone design, well-priced

    No IEEE 1394 port, keypad a bit cramped, a little on the heavy side, no carry bag

This Aspire comes in the under-12-inch category; it features Acer's GemStone design. Throughout this review, you'll notice that the 2920 is very similar to its sibling, the 4720; this is just the more portable version. Lets see if Acer can strike a chord with this one... the pricing is almost perfect, so do we have a winner of a portable value laptop here?

For a budget of Rs. 40,000.00 or so is this the best laptop or better choices are available? I am looking for a light weight machine for travel + full time work from home

It should shed more weight. Its too heavy to call a lap top.
