Amazon.com Product Description
Nicely affordable as well as lightweight, the Acer TravelMate 2451WLMi (LX.TCL06.063) is a great choice for budget-minded business travelers. It features a wide-aspect 15.4-inch WXGA LCD screen that's great for multitasking between application windows--as well as watching DVD movies when you've got a moment of downtime. In addition to an integrated 54g wireless LAN, this notebook also includes Acer's SignalUp technology--a super-efficient antenna is built into the case, creating an omni-directional sphere that extends signal range and quality. Other hardware features include a 1.46 GHz Intel Celeron M processor, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), dual-layer DVD burner, and Windows XP Professional edition operating system.
The Basics
- Hard Drive: The 60 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is a smaller than average for current notebooks. It provides enough capacity for storing documents, digital media files, and productivity software. Acer's patented DASP--or Disc Anti-Shock Protection system--reduces the impact of knocks and bumps.
- Processor: The Intel Celeron M Processor 410 is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. The 1.46 GHz speed resides in the middle of the spectrum for this processor (as of November 2006). It also features a fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
- Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC4200, 533 MHz) is just enough to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. This notebook has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB).
- CD/DVD Drive: The multi-format, dual-layer DVD burner enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. It will also burn your favorite music mixes to CD.
- Keyboard & Mouse: The 88-key Acer FineTouch keyboard has a five-degree curve, inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, 2.5mm minimum key travel, and international language support.
Screen, Graphics and Sound The 15.4-inch WXGA LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching movies in their intended 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200M IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics. It delivers 128 MB of dedicated video RAM (separate with the system memory). ATI's HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to enhance graphics performance. It also features an integrated audio card with microphone and headphone jacks.
