Acer 4600 review Travlmate
Acer TravelMate 4600 offers more than enough performance, battery life and conform to the characteristics of home users and small businesses interested in simple tasks, such as email, web browsing and document creation. We believe that the $ 1149 price tag is pretty excellent, but you should know that spares Acer phone support. If the 24 / 7 help is vital to you, find a small more expensive than PCs, such as the HP Compaq Presario V4000 or the Gateway M460S.
TravelMate 4600 is towards the lighter end of medium-sized packaging. Weighs 6 4 pounds and is 13 2 inches wide, 11 2 inches deep, and 1 4 inch thick. Compared with the HP Compaq Presario V4000 weighs 6 5 kilograms, while the Gateway M360X comes at 6 2 kg. TravelMate 4600 is three points, 0 8 pounds of AC adapter is about the size of the cell phone bar of candy.
Laptop features Acer's signature ergonomically curved keyboard that makes typing more comfortable. The touch pad is wide enough, but the mouse buttons are still too small, is among a large roll. Although the system has no control of media, is a handy Wi-Fi / off and three Quick Launch Buttons-configurable applications. In silence, but sometimes hard to DVD drive and a couple of noisy internal fan is running at startup.
We had a TravelMate 4600 is large, bright 15-inch screen, but we want a higher native resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA). The front two speakers system under distorted, and the maximum.
TravelMate 4600 includes a comprehensive collection of ports, jacks, and slots that we have seen in the $ 1149 laptop. The right edge is the infrared port, one Type II PC Card slot, and 6-in-1 card reader that supports all major flash memory cards. The rear end of Gigabit Ethernet interface ports, and four-pin FireWire, S-Video out, docking, VGA, DVI and USB-2. 0. The left edge has headphone, microphone, modem 56 Kbps, three USB-2. 0 ports, and integrated single-layer DVD burner. This feature selection is slightly better than the HP Compaq Presario V4000, which costs $ 400 more than the TravelMate 4600.
After the Windows XP Professional operating system, you will not receive a lot of software TravelMate 4600. Acer Packages Cyberlink PowerDVD and NTI CD & DVD Maker for disc playback and burning accordingly. Acer The only other application is a utility for managing passwords, power management, and other basic settings. This package is a typical laptop.
We tested the TravelMate 4600, the second of two complete systems, TravelMate 4600 series. TravelMate 4600 has a suggested retail price is $ 1149, but found that most online retailers are price over $ 1200. But, that has a lot of time, bearing in mind respect for the variety of system components, such as quick 2GHz Pentium M 760, 1GB of quick 533MHz RAM, large 100 GB hard drive running at 5400 rpm decent and the Intel 915GM chipset, that a loan of up to 128, the use of main memory VRAM.
Classes benchmarks', TravelMate 4600 to make the most of its parts. He ran 25 percent quicker than the $ 1579 HP Compaq Presario V4000, which is a hard disk drive slower than 4200 rpm, and 26 per cent quicker than the $ 1370 Gateway M360X, which is less than 1 processor 7GHz Pentium M 735 with only 512 MB of RAM, and 4200-rpm hard drive. Although the speed difference is not necessarily obvious when conducting such basic tasks as e-mail multitasking and word processing, and people who want to work with a lot of windows open is likely to benefit from additional performance the TravelMate.
TravelMate 4600 has also proven to be successful we need Labs tests the battery: the battery lasts over 4 hours, 1 minute. Both the Presario V4000 and the M360X extended about three hours.
TravelMate 4600, we can live an average of one year warranty, which includes shipping service in the service. But, we are disappointed the company has not complied with its 24 / 7 telephone support request. Acer tech support claims calls made outside business hours of the "living" (Monday through Friday from 7 am to 9 pm and weekends from 8 am to 5 pm CT) are returned within one hour. But, we are calling, and left a message 3 p. million PT on Sunday, and high-tech representative never returned our call. Worse still, they can turn to their brilliant electronic properties, such as real-time high-tech support chats, since Acer does not offer.
