Acer launches 14-inch TravelMate P243 $700 business laptop in the US
Acer's finally offering up the TravelMate P243 here in the US, a business notebook designed for the harsh realities of corporate life. 4GB of DDR3 RAM loiter next to an Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU and a 500GB HDD, packed beneath a spill-resistant keyboard that'll ensure that flyaway grande latte only ruins the front of your suit. You'll be staring into a 14-inch, 1,366 x 768 LED-backlit display with a built-in webcam, as well as a fingerprint reader and the company's ProShield security suite. You (or more likely, your IT buyer) can grab one of these for $700, while you can still grab last year's Sandy Bridge-powered P243 for $600.
ProShield eliminates glare and protects flat-screens
While LCD and plasmas boost amazing display tech, they both have a vulnerability 'bout the size of a womp rat - their screen. Plasma screens tends to be rock-solid kid-proof however they produces a good amount of glare, where LCDs don't suffer from glare; their screens aren't exactly dense. Therefore, the savior of flat-screens just might lie with Wolverine Data's ProShield. This cure-all claims to eliminate all glare, increase screen contrast, and is of course, is scratch / impact resistant up to 150 mph. We're not exactly sure if this product is simply clear, flat snake oil but with prices starting out at $99 for the 37-inch size, any parent with a flat-screen, might wanna take the chance.[via TV Snob]
