Acer Aspire 5102WLMi Review
Laptop Magazine has a review up on the Acer Aspire 5102WLMi, a cheap dual-core machine.
A dual-core notebook for less than $900? Acer delivers just that with the AMD Turion 64 X2-powered Aspire 5102WLMi, which boasts strong multitasking performance along with all the features you could want in a 15.4-inch notebook.
Style mavens may not appreciate the 5102WLMi’s rather utilitarian silver design; it’s all business here, folks. Once the lid is popped, you’re treated to a smooth, silver-and-black interior with glossy highlights. The 5102WLMi’s non-glossy, 15.4-inch WXGA display is fine for watching DVDs.
In the end they give the sub-$900 notebook a decent three out of five. The biggest negative for me is its battery life, which only clocks in at three hours for a six-cell battery.

Acer Aspire 5602WLMi Review
Over at Pocket-lint there is a review up on the Acer Aspire 5602WLMi, an inexpensive Core Duo machine, with a 15.4 inch screen.
Take the Acer Aspire 5602WLMi for instance; it’s £699 (inc. VAT) and powered by Intel’s latest and greatest Intel Core Duo processor. It may be the T2300 version, which runs at 1.66GHz, but it’s more than powerful for most people and whether you’re watching a DVD, editing a document or simply surfing the net, it’ll let you do them all at the same time. It’s because you have two cores in one chip, which allowing for multi-tasking. We found this a really powerful notebook to use. It’s not only the processor that helps but the addition of 1024MB of memory, it means things never really slow down. The hard drive is 120GB in size, so you can store plenty of files and is larger than we expected at this price point.
If you can ignore poor battery life, which I can’t, you will be reasonably happy with this machine, and so Pocket-lint gave it a 7 out of 10. Check out other 15″ Core Duo laptops on Digital Advisor.
Acer Aspire 5652WLMi Review
Pocket-lint takes a look at one of Acer’s recent offerings, and while everyone else is waring it out on price, Acer has added something new and interesting: 3G.
Acer isn’t scared of bringing new ideas to market ahead of the rest of the pack, which means they’ve become something of an innovator in recent times. Take integrated 3G, for instance. While the likes of Dell an Toshiba have announced they’ll be supporting it at some point, Acer simply sign a deal with Vodafone and ship the stuff.
So what we have in the Acer Aspire 5652WLMi is the first notebook we’ve seen with integrated 3G. You’ll need a SIM card and the slot is tucked away inside the battery compartment but once you’ve fitted it, the supplied Dashboard software is easy to use. When you’re in a 3G zone you’ll get decent connection and when you’re out of range, it’ll drop down into GPRS, so you’ll stay connected but things tend to get sluggish and slow.
In the end they give the Acer Aspire 5652WLMi an eight out of ten. Because of its size, it was not all that portable, and since portability is one of the main things people get a laptop fore, they lost some points on this.
Acer C200 Series Tablet PC Review
I love seeing technology from other perspectives, and how people have adopted technology to suit their needs, and that is never more true than when you have a physical limitation that you have to work around, as David N. Wallace does, being a C4 Quadriplegic. David is a creative writer and IT professional, who combines his talents to utilize technology as part of his “work arounds”. He recently reviewed the Acer C200 Series Tablet PC on TabletPCReviewSpot.com.
Now, none of [the specs] really concerns me directly and in no way was I remotely interested in reviewing the Acer for what it has under the hood. The sole reason I was so wanting to get hold of one of these was the form factor and the way everything was laid out. Particularly the fact that a) the keyboard was right at the front most edge of the unit and b) somewhat consequently, there was no touch-pad for navigation.
In short, for me, operating a computer as I do with a disability layout and positioning is everything, well the absolute first priority overriding all other considerations anyway. If I can’t reach it with my mouthstick, leave it in the box! So the Acer really grabbed my attention.
In the end he says that if he had to buy a Windows based machine, he would go out and grab this Acer C200 Tablet, but right now, he’d rather stick with OS X.
Acer Aspire 5002WLMi Review
Pocket-lint reviews the Acer Aspire 5002WLMi, a budget notebook with some reasonable specs.
If you had asked us 12 months ago how cheap a notebook could get and still offer plenty of punch, we don’t think we’d have said as little as £565, but we would have said that one company who would be at the front of the super-budget notebook would be Acer.
So, here we are with the Aspire 5002WLMi, which comes in at the aforementioned price and manages to pack in an AMD Turion 64 ML-30 chip, which runs at 1.6GHz, and 512MB of memory.
In the end they gave the 5002WLMi, a seven out of ten, due to its horrible choice in integrated graphics. I say, spend the extra money, and get something that will work well for you in any situation.
Acer TravelMate 8200 Review
Laptop Magazine recently reviewed the Acer TravelMate 8200, and fount it to be a pretty decent machine, if you have the cash.
Acer crams two of the most powerful notebook components you can get inside the 6.6-pound, sleek TravelMate 8200: Intel’s Core Duo processor and ATI’s Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Add in a top-notch webcam and you have one of the best mainstream laptops for power users, as long as you have the cash.
The 8200’s tapered profile gives a deceptively skinny impression, complementing the sheen of the black-and-gray lid. The carbon fiber cover isn’t just for show; it adds durability. Like other TravelMates, the keyboard sits at a slight angle, which should provide extra comfort for marathon typists.
Acer has long been thought of in connection to budget laptops, but this 8200, at $2499 US, is not cheap at all, and it looks like it has served Acer well, as they got both a four out of five and an editor’s choice rating.
Acer Aspire 1652WLMi Review
Pocket-lint looks at the Acer Aspire 1652WLMi, a large machine, at a reasonable price.
We have to ask ourselves, how much do you think you need to spend on a notebook and still get a machine that manages to do what we need from it? Well, Acer would like us to think its £749 (inc. VAT) and they’d be right.
After all, the Aspire 1652 manages to deliver on a number of points. First off, you get a 15.4-inch screen that comes with a glossy coating, so even if you’re watching some old black and white movie on DVD, you’ll be able to see just how black and white it actually is. That said, this wasn’t the brightest Super-TFT screen we’ve seen, as you’ll need to turn it to full brightness to get the best image quality.
In the end it manages to earn itself an eight out of ten on their review scale, which in my opinion is very good for an Acer laptop.
