The Travelmate series by Acer is quite a prolific line of business notebooks. To date, more than 10 models have been released to the public.

One of the commonalities shared by the entire Travelmate line is the use of integrated graphics cards. These cards seriously hamper the performance of the notebooks in the graphics section, making these business laptops  and not heavy gaming. One cannot expect these notebooks to fare well especially with games that use 3D graphics because the Travelmates simply cannot process that.

The Travelmate notebooks are also fitted with fingerprint readers. This is important for data security, since some companies have sensitive proprietary data that must not be leaked to the public. These computers also have the proprietary Disk Anti-Shock Protection: this feature senses if the notebook is on free fall, and automatically shuts down the disks. This is to prevent or minimize data loss, a feature that businesses would surely value.
