Advantages: fast, can take it on your travels, stylish and cheap! Disadvantages: none for me!
The Acer Travelmate 2413LM is a handy little laptop with some impressive specifications to boot that make it ideal for both personal and business use. Personally I chose it for my writing which I am hoping to turn into a career and I've found that this is perfect for me, but would it be perfect for you? *** This Laptop Is For You If... ***

* Acer SignalUp* High-Efficiency Antenna Technology *
Acer SignalUp technology controls wireless activity from your laptop. Unlike other laptop makers, Acer put the antenna into the top of the monitor so that it can transmit a signal better and it has been proven to minimise the signal absorbal rate by the human body (which is good news for anybody worried about things like that!).
Pretty Impressively, Acer are the only computer ...

Advantages: No paperwork, lightwieght, compact, stylish and very user friendly Disadvantages: small RAM and quiet speakers
...Windows XP Home Edition and Acer throw in a bundle of other software such as Power DVD, NTI CD-Maker, Adobe Acrobat reader etc. One of the most wonderful things about this company is that it does not overwhelm you with loads of cheap, free, useless software. A system recovery CD is provided, should you have any problems with your system or download any nasty viruses when surfing the net.
This model has no built in microphone, card reader, Infrared ... ...for any hardware you may wish to use. The battery life of this laptop is a maximum of 2 hours and takes between 2.5 hours (turned off) and 3.5 hours (in use) to recharge. In my experience this is more than enough but if you travel long distances and require a laptop that will allow you to pass that time productively you may need a model with a longer lasting battery.
For my purposes this laptop is perfect, and as a first laptop I would recommend ...

Advantages: Fast, Good Looking, Low Cost Disadvantages: Poor workmanship, hinges expected to fail any time
I have been an Acer user for some time. The older models are really rugged, except around the hinge. The metal hinge cracked across the hinge, although after almost 3 years of use.
My latest Acer, an Aspire, had suffered from extremely poor workmanship
1. There is a gap between the plastic frame and the screen where dirt gets on. Also, the frame is very flimsy, and cracked after 2 month of normal use (I carry the think to work and home every day)
... ...camera, due to the (internal) camera cable connector not inserted properly at the factory.
3. Camera connecting cable is not long enough, resulting in a "camera unplugged" message every time I tilt the camera.
4. One of the custom buttons (the e-mail button) does not have white screen print on it. This was also the case on my friends Aspire.
5. The glue that hold the rubber feet in place is too cheap. If you live in a hot climate, expect the feel ...

Advantages: Price, Light, Portable, Ease of Use. Disadvantages: Lack of RAM and 2 x Hard Drive Failures
I have owned an Acer Travelmate 2413LCi for 14 months. As a very basic machine it is satisfactory, however, only having 256Mb RAM makes it a pretty slow machine to say the least. I have recently upgraded it with an additional 1Gb of RAM which has made a tremendous difference. There is one area in which the machine has displeased me, and that is that the hard drive has failed twice. The first time was during the guarantee period, which caused me to ... ...the Christmas period so in all fairness it would have been away for less time at any other time of year). The second failure was last week. I went out and purchased a replacement drive, installed it myself, and restored the system from my last saved backup. I am now hoping for stability and reliability from it. Because of the hard drive failures I cannot recommend it, but I appreciate I may have just been unlucky. ...

Advantages: Well speciofied for the prce Disadvantages: The hinges seem to be very weak
...have not got this SPECIFIC Acer Laptop, I feel I need to share my experience of other Travelmate Laptops.
In the company I work for we have 40 Travelmate laptops from Acer and 5 Aspire Laptops. Of the 40 Travelmate ones (same case as this one) 5 of them have cracked accross the hinge and broken - most after about 8 months, but also some of the newer ones. There seems to be a defect in the plastic creating a weak point on this model of hinge - so ... ...do well to take out extended warranty.
In contrast, the hinge design on the Aspire range is different and none of them show any signs of breaking at all. The insides of these laptops are really well specified for the price so it is a shame that the ruggedness of the hinge / LCD plastic lets it down so much.
If they change the design or you obtain extended warranty then thse are excellent products - if not - be aware of the unusually high failure ...
