Acer’s TravelMate 6293 all-purpose laptop will thrill corporate bean counters with its long battery life.
Not every slim and light laptop come off the conveyor belt bursting with sex appeal. Take the Acer TravelMate 6293: Battery life, it has in spades. Everything else? Not so much. This laptop comes with entire black in color and it is very much portable. Travelmate 6293 is fairly well packed as far as all-purpose laptops go, but if it weighs still lesser and lose 0.6 pounds, it would be a best product qualifying for a ultraportable laptop.
Certainly Acer is planning to cut corners and make it weighing less perfectly acceptable by a corporate people and for a business bugget.
When we consider performance, this travelmate proves its presence why it has been launched. TravelMate 6293’s battery life is Energizer Bunny amazing, highly equipped with a powerful 7200-mAh battery so that the laptop can last more hours other than laptops available in the market. The one feaure that makes travelmate unique from other portables is its heat of dissipation. Acer’s Travelmate heat of dissipation is very feeble and much appreciable.
Well the question is how about the speed? Let me explain that also. Speed of the TravelMate 6293 is better, though not quite as breathtaking. Optimum configuration for this is 2.26-GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 along with 2GB of RAM will turn to pretty impressive. It can multitask all processes but multitasking effects a lower performance in the case of shared video memory. Also lack of a dedicated graphics card is an unfortunate characteristic of small laptops which effectively eliminates gaming. Certainly, all small screens dont come in the purpose of gaming, entertainment but the 12.1-inch, 1280-by-800-pixel, wide-aspect display is fine for any other job you care to squeeze into those small quarters.
It’s crisp, reasonably bright, and glossy, but it won’t hurt your eyes under office lights.
Topping the TravelMate 6293’s keyboard are seven helpful quick-launch buttons. All are preprogrammed for such activities as setting the system password, launching the onboard backup utility, and starting your e-mail program and Web browser. A nice touch is that one button triggers the Launch Manager itself, which saved me worlds of time poking around various utilities and system-tray icons attempting to find the program that would let me reset the buttons to start my own favorite apps. Overall the keyboard is well laid out and easy to type on. The touchpad is small but zippy and easy to use. Only the mouse buttons–particularly short to make room for the fingerprint reader between them, and extremely stiff–are a distraction.
At 4.6 pounds–not including the power brick, which makes the total weight 5.4 pounds–the TravelMate 6293 is a tad heavy for an ultraportable but fairly light for an all-purpose machine. (The extra beef pushes it into the all-purpose category, since it weighs over 4 pounds.) Obviously designed for corporate jetsetters restricted by a budget, it also lacks a FireWire port (which would have been handy for fast digital downloads) and sports the older PC Card slot instead of an ExpressCard slot.
In the plus column, the laptop does have a nice, big, 250GB hard drive, plus conveniences such as dedicated Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi switches and a built-in Webcam. The storage and memory are fully user-upgradeable–great news for rapid IT deployment.
The TravelMate 6293 also includes other features important to bottom-line-conscious corporate buyers, such as a gigabit ethernet connection and a standard DVD recorder (rather than a pricey high-definition optical drive).
