This little TFT managed to fight its way into the top 10 of every set of results returned from testing. Quite a feat against the mighty major brands it knocked off.

Acer was one of the few big name manufacturers that were able to meet our stringent pricing criteria. The submitted notebook, the TravelMate, is not a so bad overall, but it couldn't win out against the smaller manufacturer's abilities to get top components at short notice.
