80% A Travel Mate for Staying at Home with
Source: Ciao.com
Acer is one of the world leaders in IT systems and have grown to become the third largest manufacturer of laptops in the world. In the UK they are the fastest growing of all the notebook manufacturers. At the end of 2003 they had the third highest of all UK laptop. I wanted to buy a lap top so that I could write my ciao reviews whilst travelling on the bus or train. The Acer TravelMate is slim and light weight and you can easily hide it in your bag of groceries or slip it under a pillow (thieves will never look under a pillow for a lap top). The Acer TravelMate is a dual-core performance machine with Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology. This includes a processor that is optimised for multi-threaded applications and multitasking.

60% Acer Travelmate 4202WLMi

Das Acer TravelMate 4202WLMi stellt einen grossen Wert für Small-Business-User und Einsteiger dar, die ein erstes Notebook suchen. Das Modell kostet bloss 1099 $ und beinhaltet einen Intel Core Duo T2300 (1.67 GHz), 1GB of RAM und ein Übermaß von Festplattenspeicher. Mit 3kg fällt es in den Bereich zwischen Desktop Replacement und Dünn-und-Leicht Notebook und ist leichter als das Gerät, das der Autor gewählt hat, das 3.5 kg Dell Inspiron E1505. [übersetzt]

80% A value for money dual core notebook

The Travelmate TM4202 sits in the familiar Acer chassis; has a curved keyboard, rounded edges and a generally pleasant feel about it. The 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo T2300 processor – a popular choice – is supported by 512MB of DDR Ram, which can be upgraded to 4GB. While not setting our Labs alight with fast benchmark scores, considering it’s the cheapest laptop here it did very well; scoring 192 in Sysmark, which earned it third place on the podium. Although its PCmark result of 2,647 was the lowest here, it will still outperform single-core notebooks running at the same clock speed.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

15-16 inch is a standard display size for laptops and offers the biggest variety of products.

This weight is representative for typical laptops with a 14-16 inch display-diagonal.

Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.

While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.

There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.

75.75%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
