Acer TravelMate 4062WLCi Review
As much as we all love top-of-the-line, thin-and-light notebooks, the bread and butter of Acer’s notebooks are general purpose mid-level laptops. So, forgive me for introducing a review of the Acer TravelMate 4062WLCi by PCMag.
Now, it is not that the notebook is bad. After all, PCMag gives it an overall rating of 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. It’s just that I find that not many people like to read reviews on notebooks that come with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 - an inferior substitute of dedicated Nvidia or ATI video cards. But then, the TravelMate 4062WLCi is a budget notebook for the price-conscious.
In any case, PCMag summarises the TravelMate 4062WLCi as:
…a value notebook designed for budget-minded users who cherish a widescreen for watching DVDs or working on documents with minimal scrolling. The expansive 15.4-inch display is a bit bigger than the screens on some other highly portable mainstream notebooks, and it is great for watching DVDs. Though the 4062WLCi is not a multimedia laptop like the Dell Inspiron 6000, the big screen and above-average processor help make this notebook a good deal for $900.
Note: Besides its 15.4″ widescreen LCD and one or two other things, the Acer TravelMate 4062WLCi is very similar to the TravelMate 4652LMi (which comes with a 15″ screen and a modular DVD-Dual drive).
