- Acer TravelMate 6292-6700 - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 12.1" TFT
- The business-oriented analog of Acer's Ferrari 1100, the TravelMate 6292 shares many of the same features as its flashier sibling but wraps them in a slightly thicker, boxier case that's better suited for boardrooms. One key difference: The TravelMate 6292 incorporates Intel's latest Core 2 Duo platform, which resulted in...

- Acer TravelMate 4720 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, WIndows XP Pro)
- We recently declared that the HP Compaq 6910p might woo corporate users away from Dell and Lenovo; after spending some time with the $1,049 Acer TravelMate 4720, we think it's a prime candidate to woo users away from HP. The well-designed Acer exhibited admirable performance (which admittedly could be improved...

- Acer TravelMate 6291
- Ultraportable laptops are popular with frequent travelers and aesthetic minimalists, but premium prices and low-end components often make them a tough sell. We've been happy to see a couple of lower-price 12-inch laptops of late, including the $899 Averatec 2371 and, for $150 more, this $1,049 model from Acer, the...

- Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 (Celeron M 1.73GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Vista Home Basic)
- The sub-$600 notebook is a rare beast, and the few Windows Vista models we've seen at or around this price have been less-than-stellar performers. For Web surfing, working with office documents, and playing DVDs, however, a budget laptop such as the $549 Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 provides enough power for generally...

- In the checklist of musts for business-focused midsize laptops, the $849 Acer TravelMate 4060 has most items covered. Enticing design? Check. Ample features? Check. Strong performance on office-productivity tasks? Check. Reasonable price? Check. Unfortunately, the system skips the last, but certainly not least, requirement: decent battery life. If you're buying...

(3/15/06)The Acer TravelMate 8200 is one of the first Intel Core Duo laptops out of the gate. In addition to its bleeding-edge Core Duo processor,...
