  • Acer TravelMate 6292

    A well-built and -- shock-horror -- good-looking business notebook, the Acer TravelMate 6292 would be one of our first choices for life on the road.

  • Acer TravelMate 6592

    This is an affordable notebook that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound system. The webcam is a nice extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must have' feature for business users.

  • Acer TravelMate 6465WLMi

    The main draw of Acer's latest carbon fibre flagship model is its cutting-edge components and swivel webcam. However, in terms of design, there is much room for improvement.
