| colintheys's Full Review: Acer TravelMate 800LCi (LX.T2506.052) PC Notebook |
This is an excellent computer. I've had mine for almost a year now and have had only one real problem: the wi-fi is awful. Otherwise, it is a beauty. It's fast, yet the battery lasts forever. I've gotten 10 hours on the included battery doing word processing (if you take out the CD drive.) It's got a big, brigt, crisp screen. The speakers are a little wimpy, even by laptop standards, but that's quite minor. The back side of the screen housing is also a little weak. I feel like if I dropped somehting heavy on the screen, it would crack a little easier than I'd like. However, overall, I find it to be the perfect blend of portability and power. I use it for mobile word processing and mobile 3d-graphics. I've run apps like Maya for hours on the battery (have to add a 3-button mouse.) The curved keboard also surprised me by quickly becoming my favorite keyboard, more so than my old favorite logitech keyboard on my desktop.
