This employs the speakers and the optical drive, as well as the screen and other core components in order to completely drain the battery.

The keyboard has an ergonomic curve (like a smiling face), which is meant to follow the natural curve of the wrist when typing. Those used to a normal keyboard design may find it a little difficult to get used to it, and it may be worth trying before buying. On the left side of the keyboard are a set of hotkey shortcut buttons. These give you quick access to mail, the Web and some of Acer’s empowering technology software features.

Based around Intel’s Core 2 Duo T7300 processor and backed with 2048MB of memory, we found applications loaded and ran smoothly on this machine.

While you would expect a business laptop to come with Vista Business Edition, Acer has preloaded this machine with Vista Home Premium. This limits the connectivity and remote access, making this less a corporate machine and more a small business tool. However, you do get a host of Acer tools that make setting up and managing connections easier.

The Acer TravelMate 5720G-302G16 is a solid and reliable machine that we felt represented great value for money. The use of Vista Home instead of Vista Business is a curious addition and while the battery life leaves something to be desired, if you’re looking for a cost-effective desktop alternative, this will more than fit the bill.acer02
