Acer`s new TravelMate 250 notebook family, featuring Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Portable processors, offers the professional, mobile user an all-in-one notebook with complete multimedia functions, extended battery life and first-rate connectivity capacity.
"For account managers and development, support and project teams to conduct successful business on the road, they need access to company intranets, e-mail, virtual private networks (VPNs), remote access services (RAS) and the Internet," says Gary DeMenezes, channel and business manager at Acer.
"Acer has combined the best and most used features to create a mobile product that offers business users all the components they need when operating from remote locations."
The TravelMate 250 is available as either a standard notebook or tablet PC.
The tablet PC (TravelMate 250PXC) has an interactive 14-inch TFT display and includes Windows XP Tablet PC Edition that integrates all Windows-based applications including those specifically developed for tablet PCs. The 250PXC allows for input by pen in English, French, Spanish and German.
"The tablet PC is a revolutionary new step in mobile computing. Users who don`t like to type now have the option to use handwriting to enter data. In addition, the TravelMate 250 Tablet PC offers ergonomic handling, work efficiency and convenience on pointing, character recognition and inking - features that make this new product a complete mobile productivity tool," says DeMenezes.
The notebooks incorporate Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Portable processors, a built-in DVD-RW or DVD/CD-RW drive, along with a classic floppy disk drive. DDR266/333 memory starts at 256/512MB and may be upgraded to 2GB. The Ultra ATA/100 removable hard disks have a minimum of 30GB capacity.
TravelMate 250 notebooks also offer complete multimedia functions, including an Active Matrix display, built-in video card with up to 64MB of shared DDR memory using Intel DVMT (Digital Video Memory Technology), a DualView function permitting simultaneous use of an LCD display, an external CRT monitor, MS Sound System compatible audio system, and built-in stereo speakers and microphone.
All Acer notebooks are covered by a standard two-year warranty, including a one-year international warranty. The AcerAdvantage service is also now available to extend the warranty to three years, covering accidental damage to the notebook.
DeMenezes concludes: "The strong ABS body and quality components make TravelMate Series 250 notebooks the perfect solution for anyone requiring a complete, dependable product in terms of both hardware and software, with an excellent price to performance ratio."
