The rumors concerning the field of portable computers are always on the agenda. After Asus, Acer announced its interest to a new acquisition.

To win the second podium position of the major notebook manufacturers in the world, Acer has focused in particular on growth by putting their hands on Gateway , Packard Bell and eMachines . Taiwan's Acer will obviously not stop his rise, as its chairman JT Wang has recently revealed that his company is currently analyzing the possibility of a new acquisition to strengthen its branch PC.

On a train as the gate of an airport, a notebook found in his knee's foothold is ideal for a quick look at the post office or for a prolonged discussion of a contract. However if, in these cases, has never tried to feel discomfort in their legs on the heat generated by notebooks running? Until now, to protect the integrity of circuits and components and allow a long life for portable, professional notebooks were equipped with cooling systems based on ventilation and heat dissipation through the chassis.

Often to coat the base materials have been used as the magnesium alloy: a conductor of heat that contributes to the cause of the cooling of absorbing the heat inside and radiates outward. The consequences? A stove effect useful for the PC, but annoying for the user intensive use in mobile situations. The Acer TravelMate notebook series timeline, which found a study in this article, avoids this problem thanks to the revolutionary Laminar Wall Jet, developed by Intel, which allows cooling of the outside of the base.

Acer joins the version now Ion-based AspireRevo , a new model called Veriton N260G. The nettop concerned integrate an Intel Atom N280, affinacato by (up to) 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive. From the only picture available, we note Veriton N260G use the same chassis and houses AspireRevo , although in this case are shades between black and gray. As based on Intel Atom platform, the compact Veriton desktop PC uses an Intel chipset GN40 and thus an integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphics subsystem.

Timeline is the brand chosen by Asus for its latest family of consumer notebooks CULV, but is also trying to create a new generation of portable PCs by focusing on two fundamental concepts: slim design and long battery life.

Not surprisingly, therefore, the Taiwanese multinational has decided to also apply this paradigm to its range of notebooks dedicated to businesses and professionals. Thus the series Acer Travelmate Timeline , which currently consists of an ultraportable 13 "(Travelmate 8371 Timeline), and two larger size notebooks, TravelMate 8471 Timeline, 14" TravelMate 8571 15.6-Timeline " .

The new TravelMate series offers a robust, secure and powerful for a laptop aimed at business professionals. The platform of the TravelMate notebook is ideal for those who need portability, connectivity and performance, when they have a safe and durable.

The new line of notebook Acer Travelmate update the whole proposal business of Taiwanese manufacturer, integrating the new Intel Centrino 2 mobile platform. The new series will be five: the TravelMate 6293 from 12.1pollici, the Aspire 6493 14.1-inches, the TravelMate 6593 and 5730 15.4-inch Aspire 7730 and finally by 17 inches. In addition to using the new processors, integrated graphics solutions and modules for wireless connectivity, the Aspire is definitely the preserve of security, guaranteed by several features shared by all models.

We begin with the physical protection for the hard disk, thanks to technology DASP (Acer Diskant-Shock Protection) prevents loss of data on the drive due to falls and bumps, benefiting from a special material that absorbs shocks and encapsulates' s entire HDD. As regards the secure access to data, Acer offers the Acer Bio-Protection technology, which supports the PBA (Pre-Boot Authentication) and Acer FingerLaunch; through the integrated biometric sensor is thus possible to prevent the boot of the computer when authentication failure by the owner of the notebook, and launch programs with a simple click.

Travelmate 6293
The TravelMate 6293 is the only ultraportable family business, with 12.1-inch WXGA display resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Use the new Penryn processors, Intel Centrino 2, as well as the Mobile Intel GM45 Express chipset, which uses the graphics chip integrated Intel GMA X4500HD IGP. The subnotebook professional Acer supports up to 4GB of RAM DDR3 frequencies of 800 o1066MHz, and incorporates an optical drive DVD Super Multi. The larger hard drives available Eda 320GB, and is missing a media card reader Multi-in-1.

subsystem IGP chipset and the GPU can be combined in various ways, leading to a substantial reduction in consumption and heat generated or an increase in graphics performance, according to actual needs.

hybrid graphics technology, AMD Puma, therefore, presents two different faces: one dedicated to improving the performance (Hybrid Crossfire) and the other at maximum efficiency (PowerXpress). PowerXpress can literally turn off the dedicated video card, via the management section of the video card to IGP (integrated graphics processor), in order to curb consumption, temperatures and noise. During the most intense phases of the game, by contrast, Hybrid Crossfire will combine the capabilities of integrated graphics chip and one devoted to obtain an increase in overall system performance. We will not dwell further on the subject, which we had already dealt with in the past.
