Acer TravelMate TimelineX TM8481T-6440 Pro Reviews

Despite the overall disappointing performance of the TravelMate 8481T-6440, Acer does make some compelling arguments to consider it. This laptop has superb battery life, a light travel weight, and a beautiful design. Plus, though the warranty Acer offers on this notebook is an industry-standard-length one-year plan, it's Acer's International Travelers' Warranty, so you can get tech help for this machine anywhere in the world. The specifics are worth noting for business travelers. This warranty allows you to get warranty service outside of the country of purchase within five business days, but you’ll need to have a copy of the sales receipt on you at all times. The Acer TravelMate 8481T-6440 has the capability to keep up with you while you work, and that's entirely the point. If you need the long-lasting battery and love the design, you'll be happy to carry this system around. But if performance is Priority No. 1, with portability a close second, the Dell XPS 14z—for the same price—is a better choice. But if you're thinking that all three of these notebooks are probably fine for your modest needs, save yourself $300 and go with the Gateway ID47H02u.

At $999, Acer TravelMate TimelineX 8481T-6440 is one sleek and long-lasting laptop for highly mobile users. It offers a large 14-inch screen in a 13-inch size package, solid performance, very long battery life, and welcome security features. While we wish Acer included a backlit keyboard, this notebook is a very good choice for business users on the go.
