Advantages: Big, clear screen, great for photos and video, easy to use, well equipped
Disadvantages: None

...love the Welcome Centre that Acer has added as it guides you through the first few days of getting used to the laptop, especially if you are used to a Mac, as I was. The integrated media centre of Vista is so like iLife but just fails to hit the slickness of Apple's flagship media centre. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and I am reluctant to say, I like PC's more than Macs now. ... Read review

Advantages: big screen
Disadvantages: not good for gaming

...an element to this that acer have actually tried to make this one look nice for a change. there are better looking laptops out there but I think this travelmate actually looks pretty good. this features a Intel Core 2 Duo processor which runs the 1gb installed ram like a dream. another great thing about this laptop is that the ram can be upgraded to 4gb, this isn't cheap however and could cost over £100 to upgrade it to 4gb of ram, however this ...
...big screen you\'d expect this acer to have hardly any battery life, actually it has a great 3.5 hours and this is because of its 8-cell Lithium Ion batteries, this is a lot seen as all the other travelmates have only 6 cells. my favourite thing about this laptop though, is its built in webcam at the top of the screen. this makes contacting people so easy and its not hard to set up like plug in web cams are. if your looking for something with a ...

Advantages: fast great screen
Disadvantages: could look cooler

...another great laptop from the acer travelmate range. this laptop, like all the other travelmates is specifically designed for those working people. You can tell by looking at it that its not really a gaming or movie laptop, because it does look very business like, however its not ugly and it does look quite sleek. This features a Intel Core 2 Duo processor which runs the 2gb installed ram like a dream. Another great thing about this laptop is that ...
...Another great thing about this acer compared to the other ones, is that it has a 17 inch screen. A lot of previous travelmates only had a 15.2 inch screen so its great to see this one have a 17 inch screen. Also just because the screens got bigger, you'd think it would have less battery life, well actually it has 3 hours, which is a lot more than some of the previous versions. However it is a bit bulkier than some of the previous acers, only a bit ... Read review

Advantages: Speed, screen (1920x1200), takes 2 hard disks, solid build, looks, support.
Disadvantages: Sound, touchpad, weight.

This is a great laptop let down by a couple of things which could easily be remedied by Dell. Pros: Very fast with a great screen (I have a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo with the 1920x1200 Ultrasharp screen option). Supports 2 hard disks. Looks good and feels as solid as a rock. Excellent full keyboard. Cons: Big and heavy - not really for carrying around. Sound - only one speaker so no stereo, and sound comes from underneath to the side, so sounds distant ...
...There is loads of room to make this much larger. As it is, I find I am constantly having problems with it as I am inadvertently hitting the 'scrolling' areas and the mouse stops responding as I am expecting it to. This is the worst touchpad I have used, but only because its usable area is so small. Update: OK I was wrong - the laptop has stereo sound. there are 2 small speakers at the front, but on the underside, so you have to be careful that they ... Read review

Advantages: Portable performance
Disadvantages: May be difficult in deciding on what spec to have

...this laptop for business purposes, Dell don't even offer this to the home user market. So, its agreed, you are likely to be looking at this for work purposes, so the next question is, what do you need to do on it? When purchasing any asset for the professional environment it is all about cost effectiveness. This is often misconstrude as buy cheap... on the contrary, its about buying the most appropriate device for the job(s) required. For example; ...
...The D630, as with any Dell product, is totally customisable so you can build a high end number crunching unit or have a mobile workstation to provide access to the communication tools that are important to you. The important thng to consider is that this laptop is built for usability, reliability and stability. It features Hyperconnect technologies (Dell proprietary network enablers) and strikezone hard disk protection (just in case you drop your ... Read review
