This mate doesn't travel well

Advantages: Lots of features for the price
Disadvantages: Bulky, and a short battery life

...> Introduction < Buying a budget laptop seems to be a becoming more and more popular. The quality keeps rising. Acer has shown this with its latest TravelMate laptop. I needed it for general work, which seemed ideal. > What's it got? < The 5720G model has a dark grey exterior and easy to access control. At the heart is an Intel 2GHz T7300 Core 2 Duo processor (very fast for a laptop), though I feel this is simply to make Windows Vista work on it at an acceptable performance (it comes installed with Vista Home Premium). It also comes installed with a decent 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM, this should be enough to run Vista smoothly for some time to come, even if you like to run all of your applications at the same time! Hard disk space is generous too. Its nominal 160GB capacity is enough to leave more than 125GB free for your own...

My Little Mate

Advantages: fast, can take it on your travels, stylish and cheap!
Disadvantages: none for me!

...you are baffled by computer jargon you may find this section a little boring though I do promise to make it as clear as possible so here it goes... The TravelMate 2413LM has: * Intel Celeron M processor 370 * This processor is designed specifically for laptops, providing a good standard of mobile-optimised processor technology, good performance and good value for money. Giving 1.5GHz of speed, this is one of the fastest processors for laptops (which is always a good thing!) and it has a 400 MHz FSB. The FSB is short for 'Front Side Bus' and basically it links all the components together on the motherboard of a computer (you learn something new everyday!). The 400 part before the FSB is the speed of it. The final thing the processor provides is a 1MB L2 cache. L2 cache stands for Level 2 cache and that is basically something...

Review of Acer TravelMate 2413LCi

~*~* Your trusty travel companion *~*~

Advantages: stylish, easy to use, fairly light for travel, built-in webcam
Disadvantages: poor battery life, quite expensive in comparison to similar laptops

...a laptop with a nice amount of disk space this laptop is perfect. I would say that it is well worth the money as it has many great features and is easy to use whilst traveling. I was disappointed with the battery life although 3-5 hours is OK for most journeys. I hope that you have enjoyed reading this review, despite the lack of technical language ;-) © FLUFFY69 Edited to add that when I find my digital camera I will upload some pictures of this laptop....

Don't Get Caught With This Travel Mate!

Advantages: Long Life, creamy and tasty
Disadvantages: None really but can go lumpy if not used in a very hot drink

...I've been reminded to write a review on Coffee mate after reading an amusing article in the paper a couple of months ago. Apparently a Tory MP on a trekking holiday was held at gunpoint after armed soldiers discovered a package of white powder in his rucksack. Highly suspicious, they assumed it was cocaine. Despite his pleas that it was only Coffee Mate, they didn't understand and forced him to eat it. It was only after he'd eaten several mouthfuls of the stuff that they believed him. It's funny, but I remember having done exactly the same thing myself. Not being held by armed guards, but taking little packages of Coffee mate with me when I was travelling. That's one of the really useful attributes of Coffee Mate, its portability. I don't get around to using Coffee Mate as much as I used to, since I'm more into drinking...

My Best Mate

Advantages: Looks Good, Fast, Easy to carry.
Disadvantages: Noisy, No Bluetooth, Not strong enough

...Right I bought this laptop around 3 years ago and I have had my moneys worth. It cost £400 but I cannot remember where I bought it. I now sit here on the laptop three years on writing this review. ---------------------------------------------------------- Good Points ---------------------------------------------------------- <>The Laptop has a decent sized screen (1024 X 768) and therefore makes watching DVD?s on the go very easy. It also means you can view more of internet pages in one go and makes image editing that little bit easier. <>It is slightly bulkier than modern laptops but overall it is still of a cartable size when on the move (after all it is a travel mate) I also purchased a laptop case which cost £25 where I can put the laptop, charger, mouse, mouse mat, USB stick, and the kitchen sink in. <>It is quick in...

Ideal travel mate

Advantages: Folds small, light, stylish and easy to use
Disadvantages: No recline, not good on steps/rough terrain

...Fantastic little stroller! As long as you know what you are getting in for then this is an ideal second/toddler+ stroller. We bought this to take on holiday with us for our 9 month old. I looked into all the different types of strollers to try and find one we could take as carry on during our flights. We wanted to be able to use it in the airports after we checked our luggage- as most seasoned travellers know, flying usually means alot of waiting around at airports! This one had the smallest measurements when folded and also came with a travel bag. When it arrived I was please to find that if you take the wheels of it actually fits within the 115cms allowed by most airlines for carry on luggage (just pop the wheels in your other carry on bag)! It is really stylish looking! I have it in pink and it always turns heads :) I find...
