I was so far absolute Sony disciples and in the search for a new laptop, it would also become a Sony again. Since this but unfortunately more and more quality problems, I became me insecure. Meanwhile the Sony laptop division was sold, so I disregard of a purchase in terms of future support.
A request was an easy, quality and appearance quality device. Acer I was so far not done so, and so I was looking at Dell and Samsung ... and somehow never find what you wanted. My technical requirements:
- High quality of materials and the keyboard
- Display with 14 inch and matching resolution (which brings me even the resolution when I see nothing and Windows programs are not designed?)
- SSD
- (!) A real HDMI and VGA port, since in practice come up again and again problems with adapters and these are still very angry at a business presentation
- Quiet operation
Really I have found nothing, until I then pushed through a test on the TravelMate series of Acer. Here you will find these series rather "hidden" on the homepage under "Professional" at the top crossbar. In my eyes, completely wrongly written so small.
I have a laptop here now and am completely satisfied! When I see all the extra business features (HDD protection, tightness of external terminals, etc.), the price is to be considered rather low! The SSD is the way even expanded to include a HDD.
During installation, there was still a positive surprise: It starts Windows 7. I know that many want this, here it is installed in the Professional version. And who as I want to use Windows 8 yet, can upgrade to this in the Pro version for free.
Acer ... this is really great and you have a new customer!
