Our Verdict
Acer’s TravelMate 6293 thrills corporate bean counters with a long battery life.
The TravelMate 6293 might not have all the cutting-edge features, but no laptop we’ve tested recently makes better use of a battery for carefree wireless computing. If work keeps you out of the office most of the day, put this $999 plain Jane at the top of your list.
