We like:
Strong performance; long battery life; quiet operation
We don't like:
Tacky-looking carbon-fibre lid
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi uses the latest components to deliver masses of power and excellent battery life -- the Holy Grail of laptop performance. The questionable styling of its chassis and mild colour saturation of its TFT screen may alienate some users, but its long feature list and solid build quality make it a very worthy purchase
