Performance Acer Travelmate 8172T Specifications

Performance Acer Travelmate 8172T Specifications : Unlike in Germany, the first Timelines of the Travelmate series were available in the 11.6" format in the UK. Our German friends only now get this device size in the revised variant, which is getting ready to make a bang not only in the business sector but also among some home users. The chassis is on a netbook level; long battery life and acceptable performance ability are combined with a matte 11.6" display, which altogether are rarely to be seen in the product portfolios of manufacturers.

Our test model is equipped with an Intel Core i3-330UM CPU, Intel HD graphics, 320 GB hard disk and 4 GB DDR3 RAM. The most apparent competition is the Lenovo X100e with Turion X2 Neo L625, if you consider the form factor, combined with the matte WXGA display to be main criteria. Alternatively there's still the Samsungs N510 with an Atom CPU and ION graphics, which above all comes up with a clearly more attractive price.

The street price of our test model (LX.TWN02.003) is currently around 660 Euro (plus shipping) and is thus somewhat more expensive than the competition with AMD technology which, for just under 630 Euro, even brings along an UMTS module, but nevertheless has "only" 3 GB of RAM (Lenovo X100e NTS5GGE) and also weighs around 100g more. The basic model of the Travelmate 8172T with a somewhat different equipment starts at 600 Euro (2GB RAM, 160 GB hard disk) and the flagship model, at 800 Euro, has an integrated UMTS module.
