Acer C300

Acer TravelMate C300 Review

- The $1899 Acer TravelMate C300 is a convertible unit that can serve as either a conventional notebook or (with the screen flipped over) a Tablet PC whose screen you can write on using the included stylus. Notebook users who can't live without a big display will appreciate this model's larger-than-average convertible screen, though its size makes using the device in tablet mode a little awkward. Facing forward, it's suitably roomy for conventional use with a keyboard; swiveled 180 degrees and locked against the keyboard, it becomes a generously proportioned tablet capable of displaying either in portrait or landscape mode. The black and silver C300 measures 1.6 inches tall and, including a DVD-ROM and CD-RW combination drive in its modular bay (but not the AC adapter), weighs 6.1 pounds.
