CNET Review

February 4, 2008

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.

Review Summary: Acer's Travelmate 6292-301G16MN is a no-nonsense, highly portable, corporate notebook. It doesn't really stand out in any department but it goes about its business without any fuss or bother. Sometimes that's all you need.

Review Summary: The chassis of the TM6292 is a combination of strong, speckled carbon fibre and plastic. This makes it somewhat heavier than most and it pushed our scales beyond 2kg, making it the heaviest on test if you count the power adapter too.

Review Summary: Although the TravelMate's size and strength allow you to take it everywhere you go without fear of it getting damaged, it's a shame the small controls make it tricky to use comfortably
