Acer TravelMate 4401LMi review from Trusted Reviews
"Acer has always been pretty aggressive with its pricing but even we had to take notice when we found out that the Acer TravelMate 4400LMi could be picked up for less than £700. Yes you can buy cheaper laptops, but will they boast a large 15in screen and ATI Radeon X700 graphics? Not only that but it's the first notebook we’ve seen to feature AMD’s Turion processor. This is AMD's long awaited competitor to Intel's very successful Pentium M. While AMD has been able to consistently match and outperform Intel on the desktop, Intel has pretty much had the mobile market to itself. And at the rate that the portable market is growing that isn’t good news for AMD. The key advantage that Turion offers over Pentium M is that in keeping with AMD’s strategy over recent years, the chip is 64-bit, though you’ll need a new operating system, new drivers and supporting applications to make any use of that.

This is a 64-bit chip that has been designed for use in slim and light systems and is being touted as an affordable alternative to Intel’s Pentium M.With support for 64-bit processing, the Turion offers a degree of future proofing and with a running speed of 1.6GHz, the TravelMate has sufficient power to run the latest office tasks with ease."
