Full review

this great laptop is the business, its fast, robust yet portable and has a lot of storage space.

unlike most the other travel mates, this one has a 17 inch screen, and most the others only have 15.2 inch screens so already this puts it up a notch against some of the previous editions.
also the active matrix technology on the TFT screen makes the pictures sharper and brighter giving you the best possible image quality.

this laptop features AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology processor which makes the 1gb installed ram run very fast.
also the ram can easily be upgraded to a maximum of 4gb for those people who run demanding programs or people who just simply want a faster laptop.

its bigger screen comes at a price however, it makes it a little less portable and weight slightly more than the previous editions. this laptop weighs 3.7 kg which isn't heavy but it could be a bit lighter if your carrying it about everywhere.

the Acer also has a built in 160gb hard drive to store all your digital needs on, and with 160gb you'll probably never need to buy another second hard drive.

some great features of this laptop are its built in camera at the top of the screen and its built in 5 in one card reader makes getting pictures off your camera so much easier.

altogether this is a quite quick laptop, its designed for the business user and is very robust.
however it doesn't really look that stylish and its quite bulky, also the battery life's only 2.5 hours so if you need to take it places your better off with something smaller with a better battery life.
however it does have a great big screen and is good for watching movies on as well as doing work on, so if you want something easy to use and fast to replace that old desktop then this laptops for you.
