Weighing 3.60kg with 2 HDDs and 8-cell battery pack, the TravelMate 7730 series comes with a one-year International Travellers warranty.

Described as a professional notebook designed for flexibility and security, the TravelMate5730 has a 15.4-inch WXGA widescreen. Again there is a choice of graphic solutions on offer - this time the choice is either ATI or NVIDIA based. This 5730 model can support up to 2GB of dual channel DDRII memory. Storage is taken care of with a hard drive of up to 320GB with Acer's DASP (Disk Anti-Shock Protection) plus 5-in-1 card reader and either a Blu-ray or DVD-Super Multi optical drive. Some of the TravelMate 5370 models will come bundled with a VoIP Bluetooth phone and Acer Video Conference Manager Pack.

While some of the business model enhancements, such as SignalUp along with the biometric fingerprint and FingerLaunch, have been incorporated into the new Aspire models, the QuicCharge battery technology was not considered appropriate for the home user. I'm not sure that I totally agree with Acer's thinking on this subject. The Aspire models do make use of the Gemstone design concept that combines style and usability.

The Aspire5930 series features NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT DDR3/9300M GS graphics along with a 15.4-inch WXGA high-resolution CrystalBrite TFT LCD screen capable of 1280 x 800 resolution with support for GridVista driven multi-window viewing.

A choice of DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive or DVD/CD-RW combo drive will be available with this model.

All models, whether of the TravelMate or Aspire brand will only be available with an appropriate version of Windows Vista (some of us will shed a few tears over the demise of XP). Acer was unable to supply any pricing information at the time of writing.
