Acer TravelMate C200 Review

Infosync World has a review of the C200 after previewing it a little over two months ago.

For users in need of some muscle toning, the Acer TravelMate C200 is a look-no-further option. Bulkier than most tablets, the convertible weighs in at 2 KG at its very lightest, measuring a slightly above-par 315 x 238 x 35 mm - but then again, the C200 isn’t quite like other convertibles.

Instead of relying on the typical swivel hinge solution, the C200 offers a sliding mechanism which tilts its 12.1-inch XGA screen upwards to a locking position with no adjustment options in order to switch between tablet and notebook modes. The solution has its distinct ups and downs, the former of which includes the C200 being a perfect companion for cramped airline seats as its screen doesn’t protrude beyond the back of the notebook as well as low-hassle, high-speed switching between notebook and tablet mode.
