Description:
Like its slightly more sophisticated sibling, the TravelMate TM800LCi Notebook, Acer's TravelMate TM800XCi Notebook is small and comfortable yet packed with upscale amenities. Though not incredibly powerful, it is an ideal solution for those who need an inexpensive yet thorough mobile computing solution that's geared for the future. Measuring a mere 13 by 10.7 by 1.1 inches and tipping the scales at just 5.7 pounds with CD-RW/DVD drive installed, the TravelMate TM800XCi is decidedly less cumbersome than typical notebooks. Featuring Intel's innovative new Centrino mobile technology--which in this case includes a 1.3 GHz Intel Pentium M Centrino-based processor, embedded wireless connectivity and a massive 1 MB of Level 2 cache for enhanced performance and multitasking--and 256 MB RAM, the system is ideal for all but the most demanding notebook users. Acer has even included a robust 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics chipset to assist with video rendering. As such, the unit will not only suffice for standard tasks, but some gaming and graphic design too. The TravelMate TM800XCi features a 30 GB hard disk on which to store your programs and files and a convenient DVD/CD-RW combo drive through which you can burn and listen to audio CDs, archive data, and watch your favorite movies on the flip-open 14.1-inch XGA+ display screen. Acer has integrated a dizzying array of user controls, including an 84-key keyboard, a variety of one-touch keys, a programmable touchpad with mouse buttons and a four-way integrated scroll key. The TravelMate TM800XCi features a broad range of state-of-the-art perks, including four high-speed USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire IEEE 1394 port for fast data transfer from devices such as digital camcorders, a versatile 4-in-1 card reader slot, and a hot swappable AcerMedia bay. Communication connectivity options include a high-speed LAN port, a low-speed RJ-11 modem and, last but certainly not least, an Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection at 802.11b.
