Acer TravelMate 4502 Battery

The very configurable Synaptics touchpad V7.5 is sufficiently large and features a comfortable, slightly textured surface which allows for easy movement of the cursor. Multi-touch features are supported; scrolling is also possible via edge motion. The left and right mouse buttons, which are hidden under a single bar, work well and remain fairly quiet.

The display panel that Acer uses is the (LED-backlit) LG Philips LP173WD1-TLA4. The glossy 17.3" panel features a resolution of 1600x900 pixel. The Acer-TravelMate-5744Z-P624G50Mikk features a non-glare type screen - something we think has its advantages, not just outside. Acer TravelMate 4001 Battery
Even though the display features a good average brightness-level of 231.3 cd/m², reflections are not always avoidable even indoors. The brightness distribution is OK at 88%, but contrast suffers due to the high black point of 1.2 cd/m². A black point value of less than 0.5 cd/m² would ensure deep, rich blacks in dark backgrounds and movie scenes. Acer TravelMate 4005 Battery

Not entirely unexpected in this price range, the display panel does not accurately cover either the AdobeRGB or sRGB color spaces. On the other hand, only professionals working with graphics or editing photos normally require coverage of the full spectrum. Colors appear vivid, and text is easy to read and sharp. Acer TravelMate 4010 Battery

Because of the good brightness levels of the display, using the laptop outside is not out of the question as long as as there is ample shade. Because of the glossy screen, direct sunlight is best avoided as the screen is highly reflective. Acer TravelMate 4020 Battery

The viewing angle stability is about average for the notebook class. Reflections aside, horizontal shifts only happen at fairly extreme angles. Vertical stability is considerably less; viewed from above, color shifts are introduced fairly quickly. Acer TravelMate 4060 Battery

The P6200 integrates a DDR3 memory controller and the DirectX 10 capable Intel GMA HD Graphics, which runs at 500 MHz (Turbo up to 667 MHz). The 2.13 GHz dual-core processor has, according to Intel, a TDP of 35 Watts. Thanks to the 4GB of available RAM (1 slot) and the 500GB hard disk, the laptop handles normal office tasks well; for much more the hardware configuration just isn't sufficient. Acer TravelMate 4070 Battery
Subjected to the Cinebench R11.5 64-bit test, the 7739Z was only able to eke out a fairly mediocre 0.71 points during single-core rendering and 1.4 points during multi-core rendering. The results are in line with other P6200-equipped laptops though. Newer Core i3 entry-level processors offer quite a bit more performance. For additional information, check out our processor page; to compare other processors, take a look at our CPU benchmark comparison. Acer TravelMate 4080 Battery
PCMark Vantage evaluates the overall system performance and its core components. Our test system reached a score of 4357 here - since the laptop uses the same components as the TravelMate-5744Z, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the performance of the two laptops is nearly identical. Considering the hardware being used, this is pretty much exactly what we expected performance-wise. Acer TravelMate 4100 Battery

The hard drive the system ships with is a Western Digital-sourced Scorpio Blue WD5000BPVT-22A1YT0 spinning at 5400 rpm and offering a capacity of 500GB. The hard drive is partitioned: 13.5GB are assigned to the Recovery Partition; 452.16GB are available as the C: - drive for system- and user data. The benchmark results mirror what we've come to expect from 5400 rpm hard disk drives. Acer TravelMate 4106 Battery

Intels HD Graphics offer the manufacturers of notebook systems an inexpensive graphics solutions since the card is packaged with the CPU. The video decoder is capable of smooth playback of movies and trailer at 1080p; 3D-performance is extremely low though. The Acer reached 1567 points during 3DMark 06 - a fairly typical result for this kind of hardware. The graphics card can't handle 3DMark Vantage and errors out with a "std::exception Device removed". Acer TravelMate 4500 Battery

Considering the hardware specs, there is no doubt that the 7739Z is not a gaming system. Games with low demands on the hardware are playable though. We tested the (slightly more) taxing Diablo 3, and managed a not-so-smooth 20 fps at the lowest setting. We performed additional tests of various games during our review of the TravelMate-5744Z, which uses the same hardware. Our list of games shows the performance of various games using different graphics solutions. Acer TravelMate 4502 Battery

The fan rarely kicks in during system idle and is almost inaudible at 31.5 dB(A). Hard drive access noise increases the level to 33.2 dB(A). The high-frequency humming of the power adapter gets annoying after a while. Under load, noise levels increase to a value of 38.3 dB(A) which is still fairly quiet. When playing movies, the DVD drive is very audible at 40.2 dB(A). Acer TravelMate 4503 Battery

Our test candidate stayed cool during idle. As one would expect, the temperature increases under load - we measured 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) on the bottom, and 43 degrees Celsius (109.4 Fahrenheit) on the top, respectively. The hand rest remains cool to the touch. Acer TravelMate 4600 Battery

During full load, internal temperatures can reach 70 degrees Celsius (158 Fahrenheit) - still an OK number. The CPU does not get throttled - which is something 3DMark06 confirmed: the values after our load test are identical to ones we got during the "cold" system performance test. Acer TravelMate 4601 Battery

The speakers are located above the keyboard. The maximum volume could be a bit higher but the sound remains distortion-free. We found the bass to be lacking - a pretty common scenario with built-in speakers. The 3.5mm audio jack functions without any issues. HDMI allows for digital transmission of audio signals. Acer TravelMate 4602 Battery
During idle, the notebook consumes between 11.3 and 20.4 watts which is in the same range as other systems like the HP 630-LH384EA or the Acer TravelMate 5744Z-P624G50Mikk. During maximum load, the 7739Z is the most power hungry out of the three systems - we need to consider though that the screen brightness is superior; the Travelmate also only features a smaller 15" monitor. The higher power consumption seems to be justified; and overall it doesn't seem to be too excessive. Compared to the more modern and significantly more powerful Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge architecture, this Arrandale-based systems seems downright archaic though. Acer TravelMate 4603 Battery

The 7739Z comes equipped with a 48WH lithium-ion battery - a similar capacity battery is included with the HP 630-LH384EA and the Acer TravelMate 5744Z-P624G50Mikk. Since our test model consumes more power, it's not surprising that battery runtime is the lowest of the bunch. Acer TravelMate 4604 Battery

For our BatteryEater Reader's Test, we turned down screen brightness to the lowest level, turned of WLAN, and chose the "energy saving" power profile. The laptop lasted for 270 min before shutting down wth 5% capacity left. During the more realistic WLAN test, the laptop reached the 5% threshold after 92 min. We wanted to change the 5%-capacity setting to 3% but where unable to do so. Acer Aspire 1410 Battery

You just can't expect too much from this value-priced 17" system. It doesn't have a lot of interface options and no fast ports for connecting external storage. The display is a glare-type and unsuitable for extended (professional) use. The hardware dates back to 2010 and is not sufficient to run demanding 3D games. Acer Aspire 1810T Battery

On the other hand, performance is more than adequate for running office applications or internet use. Considering the price point, the quality of the input devices and the chassis is not bad at all and the display is at least bright enough. Acer Aspire 1810TZ Battery

Target audience for the Aspire 7739Z is the value-conscious home user who doesn't intend to play games. This price bracket offers a never-ending supply of constantly updated systems - some utilizing more current hardware. Shopping around pays off - if 500 Euros is your upper limit, take a look at the (AMD based) HPs Pavilion g7 or Packard-Bell EasyNote LK11. Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T Battery

The Acer Aspire One 722 is a 11,6 Inch netbook and a intermediate step up from the original subnotebook-class. The biggest differences to the usually dearer subnotebooks are to be found in reduced features and noticeably less powerfull components. For about 350 euros the Acer aspire 722-C62kk comprises a glossy 11,6" display, the AMD C-60 CPU with ATI radeon HD 6290 grafics, 2GB RAM, a 320GB harddisc and a relatively high capacity 48-Wh rechargeable battery. Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit is included and rounds off a well-balanced configuration. Acer Aspire Timeline AS1410 Battery

Our test model has the same chassis as the already reviewed Aspire One 722-C52kk with the same strengths and weaknesses. Acer Ferrari One Battery The glossy display cover with it's wave pattern is a real eye-catcher, but quickly becomes annoying because of visable fingerprints, micro-scratches and dust particles. the materials used around the keyboard are better and less flashy. The display frame and base are stable and aren't easily flexed. The keyboard area isn't as resistant against pressure, especially the keypad and palmrest area left of the touchpad which bent under little pressure. The display hinges are tight and allow a very large opening angle without any wobbling. Acer Aspire 5570Z Battery

Sameways we couldn't find any differences concerning the interfaces. Acer Aspire 3680 Battery The three USB-ports have a maximum speed of 27,1 MB/s and the SD-HC cardreader 14,2 MB/s. You can connect an external monitor (or TV) with a HDMI or VGA port. Both are able to display a good picture quality at a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels, although the HDMI delivers a slightly sharper picture. The arrangement of the ports has it's pros and cons. Both USB-ports on the right side are rather far to the back and connected items won't disturb, but the space between them is too small as to permit the simultaeneous usage of two larger USB-sticks. The ports are better spaced on the left side, but are more to the front and attached cables limit your freedom of movement. Acer Aspire 3050 Battery

W-LAN 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 + HS and a webcam (0.3 MP) account for a Basic equipment. only fast ethernet (10/100 Mbit) is available for cable connections and slows down network storage applications. Acer Aspire 5050 Battery
