Acer TravelMate 6292-6700 user reviews

    "My review for Acer TravelMate 6292-6700

The good:
Compact design; outstanding battery life and decent performance; fingerprint reader; comfortable keyboard and touch pad; built-in DVD burner and Webcam; plenty of ports and connections.

The bad:
Heavy for an ultraportable; lousy speakers; limited technical-support hours.

The bottom line:
More full-featured and also heavier than most ultraportables, the business-oriented Acer TravelMate 6292 offers solid performance and great battery life at a low price. "

    "My review for Acer TravelMate 6292-6700

Pros: Long life battery

Cons: case scratches

Summary: The XP Pro version is everything I wanted and more. Lightweight, easy to use, well light screen make this a price worth paying. I paid less than $950 over two months ago. Buy it before Acer stops delivering XP on June 30, 2008 "

    "My review for Acer TravelMate 6292-6700

Pros: Quiet, ventilates heat well, very good quality with webcam and built in mic, well over 4 hours battery life for most uses, not overloaded with bloatware.

Cons: Draft N can be a bit squirrelly, comes with only 1GB DDR2 RAM, wish the screen could go 1-2 steps brighter, not a fan of the dual partitioned hard drive, no included recovery media but program is in place to create your own.

Summary: The one star reviewer probably had a lemon. I've had this laptop for over a year now and am very pleased and if you can still find 'em, it is hard to go wrong with this. It's been used, traveled a lot and has stood the test of time with a now year old baby since I do frequent video chats with grandparents. As is, it's able to handle multiple video streams and applications simultaneously. RAM is cheap, so upgrade. Touchpad is sensitive (neither a pro or con). Speakers are OK, there is a lot of tweaking you can do with the RealTek settings. The Acer Emanagment software to make recovery media is OK, though I prefer the ease of Acronis. "
