After tasting success with its earlier models, Acer has kept the basic shape and color scheme of the 5920 more or less unchanged. The 5920 sports a dark lid and follows the same beige-cream white finish seen in the 4520. The softly rounded contours of the 5920 are also similar to the 4520, along with the pleasant matte finish for the keyboard area and a glossy finish for the lid. The construction is sturdy, with no audible squeaks or whistles resulting from daily use.
However, that’s where the similarities end. Since the 5920 is a 15-inch model, some allowances have been made with regard to its larger size and the segment it’s aimed at. The keyboard area of the 5920 is surprisingly large and has well-designed keys that are much smoother and easier to type on than those from other manufacturers.
The sides of the keyboard area on either side sport a series of one-touch buttons for functions such as enabling Bluetooth radio and FF/Rewind for the media player. The touchpad is also well designed – though I found it a little too big, it was well-contoured and allowed for easy mouse tracking.
