Acer TravelMate 8000

Wednesday June 09, 2004
Acer
AUD
$4499
Price at time of review.

The first Dothan notebook to roll off the rank, we were interested to see exactly how much real-world gain Intel is offering in its revised Centrino platform.

Dothan provides plenty more power with very little trade-off of battery life. We’ll no doubt soon see plenty of other companies emerge with Dothan products.

Despite some welcome additions and good components, this Acer notebook is left wanting.

A superb package for the price, with plenty of power. Only the unambitious battery life lets it down...

Review Score 5 out of 6

In a world filled with gorgeous Sony, Apple and even Dell laptops, a sober, matte black machine aimed at consumers has to be truly special to turn heads. The IdeaPad Y430 is a well-built Centrino 2 machine that lacks nothing in the way of features, speed or value
