acer travelmate 5720

Advantages: portable
Disadvantages: could have more memory

...This laptop is another one from the acer travelmate range . Acer as a laptop company are beginig to grow, and they are now just as well know as a lot of others, but then I first saw then in shops, my first impression, and the impression of others I asked was they seemed a bit of a cheap brand, just like netto is compared to Sainsbury's. however acer have somehow seemed to change peoples minds and even managed to change my mind somehow. If you want something sturdy, with a solid specification and in a mid price range of around £500, yet you could get one a lot cheaper now on eBay. Then this laptop could be for you. Its Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor runs at 2GHz which is pretty good, and its has 1 gb of ram too. This makes it a lot faster than a lot of other laptops with only 1 gb of ram though because its processor is so quick...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

acer travelmate laptop

Advantages: portability
Disadvantages: memory

...I for one, absolutely love the look of this acer. The bottom of the laptop just looks really cool, and the top looks ok too. One only criticism on the look, would be that the plastic at the tip of the screen is a little thick, but then again it does have a built in webcam, so I suppose that makes up for it. This is a very compact travel mate, with only a 14.1\" TFT active matrix screen, however the quality of this screen is great. This laptop isn't really that fast to be honest, however if your not using memory demanding programs or wanting to play new games on it then maybe its 512mb of built in ram is good enough for you. But, like I say, if your not sure of what ram you will need, then your better just getting a better laptop rather then buying this for a bit cheaper and getting frustrated because its so slow. Because its...

Acer Travelmate 7730 Laptop

Advantages: Big Screen, Good Looks, Nice To Use
Disadvantages: Heavy

...As I do quite a lot of travelling with my job, I decided it was about time I invested in a laptop. My desktop at home is an Acer Aspire and it was very affordable when I bought it in comparison to some other makes, having had it a good few months now and experienced no problems with it, I decided the new laptop would also be an Acer. My budget was around £650 when I started looking about 2 months ago, and I found the Acer Travelmate in my local PC World just about on budget. It ticked all the boxes, as my new laptop would be being carried around in the boot of my car most of the time and the only real carrying of it I would have to do would be into a hotel room really, size and weight did not really matter to me. In fact quite the opposite really as I decided I would like a decent sized screen and a full size keyboard as then once I...

Acer Travelmate 2414WLMi

Advantages: Excellent Price, Good Design
Disadvantages: A little slow

...This is a review for the Acer Travelmate 2414WLMi. Which is very similar to the product above (1.6Ghz, 40GB HDD, 256MB RAM, WiFi, Dual Layer DVD RW etc.. 15" Screen). We managed to buy this product for £299 in comet after having difficulty from Tesco. -- Looks -- The laptop seems to be slimmer than others but this makes it a little wider and deeper. This has made the keyboard a little further from the front. -- Ports, Inputs, Outputs -- The laptop has 4 USB 2.0 ports 3 on the left side and 1 on the back. The power socket is also located on the back. It has a headphone and mic socket in the front where the Wifi and Bluetooth (yes it seems to have bluetooth - but not yet tested!) lights and buttons are located (the light also acts as a button) . Also on the left is an output for an external monitor. -- Hidden Features...

Acer Travelmate 290 Laptop Computer

Advantages: Lightweight, robust, quick
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, hard to get hold of

...Acer Travelmate 290LCi I am using this laptop currently, right now I am even typing on it I have been using this laptop for around 6 months after it was bought for my by my boyfriend who bough it off his dad for just £50 it originally started life in a school as one of their many laptops and when they updated them they were just dis-guarded. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it when I bought it and it was all wiped clean and ready to use by the time I got it. It came with Windows XP Professional already installed which is the standard operating system for this brand of laptop. Since owning this laptop it has been brilliant I had not had a laptop before this and found it great for lying in bed till late on a night on the internet, it is only very light weighing around just 2.8kg so not very heavy at all. It has a 15" screen...

Acer Travelmate 7510

Advantages: Widescreen - built in wifi connectivity - Ease of use
Disadvantages: Relatively short battery life.

...I have used the Acer Travelmate 7510 version, for about a year now. Prefering the wider 17" screen, which this Acer has. The unit is powered by the AMD Turion 64 processor, another personal preference towards Athlon rather than Intel. 2 gig of RAM and an 80 gig hard drive, is more than sufficient for the personal home or office user. Wireless internet connection has been very stable and runs at 8mbps on average, which is great for music or film downloads. Windows Vista home premium is pre-installed and you do not receive a back up or restore cdr. The operating system is partitioned on the hard drive, so, in theory, you can always restore it to original factory settings - having tried this, due to a virus, I found I could not carry out this function, despite Acer telling me otherwise. The problem was easily resolved by...

Acer Travelmate 5320 Laptop = Perfect!

Advantages: The features it comes with for such great alue for money
Disadvantages: no choice of colour nd possibly weight for some people

...I've had my Acer 5320 Travelmate for 3days now. This is my first laptop and to be perfectly honest, it has everything that I need and more. I purchased this along with a T-Mobile offer which was a FREE laptop if you took out a mobile internet dongle with 3 GB allowance for £30 per month for two years. I only look at the advert and thought what the heck, get it! Next day it arrives, opened it all up and my god I couldn't believe what it had! Firstly I didn't expect this computer to have an infrared port, Bluetooth, wireless, integrated camera, microphone and a memory card reader all built it!!!! I was a little kid at Christmas. Now personally myself, I know you can get better looking laptops, better designs and probably a lot more crammed into a computer, but for the offer that I got and for what I got, I am more than happy...

Acer Travelmate Review 4000

Advantages: Thin Light Cheap
Disadvantages: Heats up underwrist rest low powered graphics

...I have just been given an Acer Travelmate 4000 to replace my aging AJP laptop. I am told it cost £700 with a 3 year warranty. First Impressions were good its looks nice with a good standard of design. The screen is bright with a 1280x800 wide xga resolution it has good contrast both under the fluorescent lights at work and sat outside at the local coffee shop. Software support wasn’t great, it came preinstalled with Windows XP home the only bundled applications were Acers management software, cd/dvd authoring software (for use with the DVD +- RW drive. Also bundled was a copy of Powerdvd for watching movies. There was no office software, which cause a little problem. I solved this by downloading a copy of open office. The laptop is powered by a Intel Centrino. The processor is a 1.5ghz Celeron with inbuilt wireless...

Review of Acer TravelMate 4000

Acer TravelMate 4150

Advantages: Light, good specs and value for money
Disadvantages: keyboard flimsy and the charger messed up within a year

...Excellent specifications for the price, compared to brands such as dell and sony. The Dvd burner runs a lot slower than the given speed. The wireless connection is excellent. The laptop gets regualar use by me and my kids, who can be quite heavy handed with the keyboard. three of the keys have fallen out. Support at Acer couldn't be bothered to reply to my e-mails regarding replacement keyboard. Acers website is annoyingly slow at times, i did manage to find all the necessary drivers when i had to reinstall windows. Don't try to install or even run live linux cd's as it will not for some reason recognise the Dvd/cd combi and therefore not run. The screen is also excellent. It gives a clear and crisp image. Battery life is also poor, i have found that it will not last longer than 3 hours while doing word processing...

Acer travelmate 8103

Advantages: Large screen good quality
Disadvantages: heavy not hi-spec

...This is the second Travelmate i have owned (the first being the similar Travelmate 8000) and it is the best i have used so far. Below is a list of the things i like and don't like about the product: Pros: Large Screen - good for watching films and also doing technical work (ie drawings and graphs) Hi-spec enough to be quick Card reader is really useful - we seem to have about very different memory card these days!!!! Looks good - not really a technical comment but i like it. Useful acer components - such as the acer grid system and power control options Wireless seems to be really good at picking up signal Cons Heavy Not the highest spec (you get what you pay for - and better than similar laptops of the same spec!)
