Acer Empowering

Acer adds its own helpful "Acer Empowering" software suite in Acer Laptop Battery, which delivers networking and security management, a presentations wizard, recovery tools, and more. Rounding out the software are CD/DVD and backup applications by NTI. Port selection is one of the 6460's powerful points. In addition to the usual fare, you'll find a DVI-D port, a 5-in-1 card reader, and both a Type II PC Card slot and an ExpressCard/34 slot. Also worth noting: The 160GB hard drive uses Acer's active-protection system. Given all of its features, the Acer TravelMate 6460 is a good choice for business users. If you don't mind a little special bulk and can live with mediocre Laptop Battery life such as Asus Laptop Battery, this mainstream machine has the power you need to run Vista.
