Acer has introduced the latest addition to ultraportable range of business laptops, in the form of the TravelMate 380 series. Designed with the mobile business traveller in mind, the single-spindle design weighs in at 1.6kg and comes complete with an external optical drive. Buyers can opt between a combination DVD/CD-RW drive or the latest dual-format DVD-rewriter.
The TravelMate 380 is fully Centrino compatible and comes fitted with Intel’s PRO/wireless 2200BG Wi-Fi adapter. Acer is predicting an average battery life in the region of four-hours from a single charge. The use of integrated graphics and smaller 12.1-inch screen will add in the conservation of battery life.
The first of three models is now available in the form of the Acer TravelMate 382TMi £1210 (inc. VAT), which features an Intel Pentium M 725 (1.6GHz) processor, 512MB DDR SDRAM and a 60GB hard drive. One year International traveller’s warranty comes as standard on this model.
