Acer hops on Centrino 2 train, brings along lots of TravelMate / Aspire lappies

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 15th 2008 at 12:21PM

The Centrino 2 bandwagon is all but overflowing, but apparently there's still room for Acer. Announced today, the outfit has revealed four new Aspire laptops along with five TravelMates with the aforesaid platform at the helm. The TravelMate 6293, 5730, 7730, 6593, and 6493 all come with WWAN options, Core 2 Duo processors, up to 4GB of RAM, integrated WiFi and a wide range of HDDs, graphics cards and other hardware. Per usual, mum's the word on dollars and cents, but feel free to pass the time in the photo gallery waiting down there in the read link.
