Advantages: Robust

Disadvantages: Battery life

Overview
------------
As a teacher i was given a laptop when i started working at my current school. The Acer Travelmate was the type i was given. I have to say that after almost 3 years its still going strong after what can only be described as daily battering!

Speed
--------
As a primary teacher i need to keep a lot of photos on my laptop and this doesnt seen to slow it down too much. I also need a lot of high memory programmes and games on and this again doesnt seem to slow it too much.

Battery
---------
Until recently i have had no problems with the battery and could quite happily sit on a train for a couple of hours and do my work. Over the last month or so the battery doesnt seem to last as long but prehaps after 3 years it is nearing the end of its life. Pretty fair really.

Price
------
These seem to be relitively cheap to buy but as i was given mine i couldnt be 100% sure. I would say if you pay less than £200 then its a really good deal and definately worth the money.

Overall
----------
Great, robust laptop. Suitable for children and adults to use. Good life span and memory. I would say this could compete quite easily with other well known laptop brands.

Summary: Great laptop - easy to use
