Our review model was fitted with a 2GHz Pentium M and 512MB of RAM; the production C202TMi will have a slightly slower 1.7GHz processor fitted and an 80GB hard disk (the review unit sported 60GB), while the C204TMi will include a 2GHz Pentium M, 1GB of RAM and a 100GB hard disk. The review sample returned an overall application benchmark score of 0.61; expect a drop of up to 10 per cent with the 1.7GHz part. Nonetheless, it will cope with almost anything, and the GeForce Go 6200 with 64MB of local memory should see it through to Windows Vista's full Aeroglass GUI experience.

Both three- and six-cell batteries come in the box: the three-cell is best viewed as emergency backup, since it gives a paltry 29 minutes of heavy use, but the six-cell unit managed one hour, 17 minutes under heavy use and three hours, 52 minutes with lighter duties. A nine-cell battery is an option, plus you can replace the optical drive with a supplemental battery - Acer claims battery life of up to eight-and-a-half hours with the second battery installed.

Acer tells us the production model will come with a screen protector, but not a full case, which at this price does seem a bit miserly. The screen itself, although just 12.1in and with only a 1,024 x 768 resolution, is bright and has good viewing angles.
