Acer TravelMate 8100

A textbook example of a good mainstream laptop, the Acer TravelMate 8100 has it all.

Attractive, functional design; speedy performance; long list of connections; broad, wide-aspect screen; DVD burner.

Pricey; lacks multimedia controls; weak software bundle.

Nice design, lots of speed, impressive components: the mainstream TravelMate 8100 has it all, but you'll pay a slight premium for it.

Acer TravelMate 8100 Review

Chic and pricey wide-screen model has a DVI port and a five-in-one media card reader.

Includes a DVI port

Pricey ; offers faint stereo sound

The only area in which the 8100 stumbles is entertainment. Letterboxed DVD movies looked fine on the wide-aspect screen, but sound from the front-mounted stereo speakers was too faint. Hardware volume control is limited to annoying combination...

Acer TravelMate 8100 Series

Wider screen. Sleeker case. Easier upgrades. The Acer TravelMate 8100 offers several advantages over its predecessor, the impressive TravelMate 8000.

Crisp 15.4' widescreen

Shorter battery life than predecessor

Sleek, powerful, well-equipped portable computing for a fair price.

Nothing notable

The TravelMate 8104WLMi is a great portable multimedia machine for school or business.
