Hubby and poor Laptop
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
This is our new ACER 6920G Notebook. I named her “Alizarin” but I only call her that name when I’m alone with her. Hubby has no idea that her name is Alizarin…nor does he knows that Alizarin is a “she”. All he knows (aside from the fact that he married a weirdo—that, too, is another topic) is that this hawtie piece of numminess which used to be our dream-pc had become HIS pc-nightmare.
First he discovered that the only way he can connect Alizarin to his TV is through HDMI connection, other pieces of the same model has a VGA out but Alizarin dun have one (Minus 1 point). HDMI Cable was not included in the package (Minus 1 point) and it is quite difficult to find in the market (Minus 1 point). Of course NOT ALL TVs support HDMI connectivity (Minus 1 point). And then, the DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive is constantly giving problems whenever we tried burning a downloaded avi movie (Minus a whopping 1,000,000 points). I told him that it’s probably that we got a defective piece. But he had already cursed it (and the whole ACER company) after concluding that we were duped by the sexy appearance, that Alizarin is trash and that we would have bought that other HP laptop.
Personally, I still think that poor Alizarin is hawt and she was just misunderstood. I still like her and aside from the DVD-burning problem, the functionalities are awesome. It’s got a 250GB HD, 4GB RAM, 2nd Generation Dolby Home Theater audio enhancement, surround sound output, andddddd a nummie NVIDIA® GeForce® 9500M GS with up to 1280 MB of TurboCache™ (512 MB of dedicated GDDR2 VRAM) Graphics Card (AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!).
We’ll be taking her to a service center one of these days (when we’re free) and see if the DVD-burning issue can be fixed. i do hope it gets fixed coz I feel so bad about poor Alizarin.
