Review summary: Acer's Travelmate 6292-301G16MN - a nice catchy name, that - is one of the smaller members of Acer's well loved business notebook range, and is at the upper edge of what you would call an ultraportable ...

Verdict: Acer's Travelmate 6292-301G16MN is a no-nonsense, highly portable, corporate notebook. It doesn't really stand out in any department but it goes about its business without any fuss or bother. Sometimes that's all you need.

Review summary: Great performance with a strong display and speakers, but it's too heavy

Verdict: The chassis of the TM6292 is a combination of strong, speckled carbon fibre and plastic. This makes it somewhat heavier than most and it pushed our scales beyond 2kg, making it the heaviest on test if you count the power adapter too.
