Acer TravelMate 8371 Ultra-Portable Laptop

Earlier this year, Acer has been one of the first companies to take advantage of new Intel Culver in creating ultra-portable and affordable. Ensure good performance and battery life, they were delighted with the Acer Aspire 4810T script and gave it a recommended award.

However, one thing that struck us in the end was that it was very conservative – almost like a business – in appearance. Now Acer has translated the formula for a real bargain laptop, it’s time to see if it works equally well. Although the scenario was sober enough Aspire, Acer has yet been able to refine the design to give companies more like air. He has not done something spectacular, not only on the top of aluminum and plastic body of a slightly darker color of gray gun barrel, improved the design of the logo and eliminates brilliant touches, but the changes are beneficial.

There is something in the dark profile chassis that fits best. In common with the version of the Aspire 13.3in, the 3810T, the TravelMate 8371 lacks an optical drive. This could be a problem for some people, but when the USB key, online downloads and other forms of media have become so prevalent, it has an integrated optical drive is becoming less a problem.

If it is really a concern of a disk may be worth considering, or if you prefer an embedded player, the TravleMate 14.1IN 8471 (cousin 4810T) that we offer. What the 8371 lacks an optical drive, which compensates for portability. With its six-cell battery, weighs only 1.65 kilograms, which, though not entirely of feathers, is a nice weight for any laptop. Obviously, size portability help, too. By Will more than 323.6mm and 25.3mm backpack is reasonable in its thickest point, therefore, also relatively thin.Although the 8731 chassis and all the basic features are very similar to their consumer counterparts, there are one or two differences.

Most notable is the lack of an HDMI output, expelled for a loading dock. There are a plus, although the form of a fingerprint reader located between the two touchpad buttons. This is not paired with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is also common in business laptops, but this is probably due to cost constraints to meet the aggressive price tag – just 710 pounds. This is a very good price for an ultra-portable business, most of which have always held the upper price ranges of £ 1,000 bonus and sometimes £ 2,000 or more.

This 700 € or if the average price of 8731 may be economically distributed to mobile workers who may have undergone a bit of practice time with the bricks, people will appreciate something a little more refined! [trustedreviews]
