The good:

  • Screaming multimedia performance
  • Slick design
  • Cutting-edge components
  • Ample connectors
  • Integrated DV camera

The bad:

  • Mediocre battery life
  • Lacks multimedia controls

The bottomline:

From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud -- but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised.

6.5/10
