Overview

The good:
  • Rugged
  • Good battery life
  • Value for money
The bad:
  • Old school design feels like new technology shoe-horned into an old chassis
  • Air vent on the side
The bottomline:

The Acer TravelMate 6292 passes muster, but there are better alternatives out there.

Editors’ rating:

7.5/10
