ZDnet reviews the Acer TravelMate C310 (they give it a rating of 3 out of 5) and writes - ‘The Acer was the fastest tablet tested. Even though it didn’t have the fastest CPU it featured a very fast graphics processor which helped it record the highest score in Winstone. In the battery run-down test it managed three hours and 25 minutes, which is a little on the low side but the Acer did have the largest screen and larger screens do use up more power than smaller ones.’

The laptop allows me a unique level of interactivity with my models. I can pack up and go anywhere I want to work. All the programs respond well to the stylus and the laptop has almost no learning curve. In an industry that is constantly moving it is invaluable to be able to bring work with you.
