Acer Aspire 2020

review

By Cisco Cheng

Pentium M chips have found their place in multimedia notebook PCs, and Acer is taking full advantage of that with the Acer Aspire 2020. The system comes with the exceptional Intel Pentium M 745 (1.8-GHz), which packs plenty of performance and terrific battery life for a multimedia powerhouse. Two unexpected bonuses: The system weight (6.7 pounds) is reasonably light, and the design is an aesthetic crowd pleaser.
