| Review summary | The Acer Travelmate 8204WLMi uses the latest components to deliver masses of power and excellent battery life -- the Holy Grail of laptop performance.

Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
Toshiba Satellite A500
Despite its low-resolution screen, it's a very good all-rounder at a decent price
