Acer has never failed to impress business users needing computing aid, especially with its Acer Travelmate series — a name that matches its feature, that is: business linked to travel, and mate synonymous to companion.

 

For a business-oriented laptop; security, flexibility and power is essential. In this review, we will unfold the features and limitations of Acer Travelmate 6593. Is Travelmate 6593 flexible enough to suffice the increasing satisfaction rate of businessmen? Let’s check this out though thorough examination of its pros and cons.

Pros:

The 6593’s maximum resolution of 1280×800, like Travelmate 5530, plus an adequate size of 15.4 inches liquid crystal diode screen is perfect for multi-tasking because more windows could be accommodated side by side. Businesspersons could save time when shifting from one window to another. For instance, when attempting to access documents from another file, there’s no need to repeatedly open and close the window when comparing the contents.

 

Travel is really common in business, and whenever possible, time should be used wisely. With a laptop having a six-hour battery life, the business person would be able to work even while traveling. For example, while in long plane trips, he could review some documents while up in the air.

 

Like the Acer Travelmate  5530 and other Travelmate models, the 6593 offers a large storage space of 320 GB for important files and even other digital content like music and videos.  The hard drives are also built with Acer’s Disk Anti-Shock Protection technology that protects the data inside the hard drive when it detects free-fall movement.
Powered by Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors running at 2.53 GHz with 4 GB of RAM, the Acer 6593 is primed to do tasks with smoothness and speed.

 

Cons:

The Acer Travelmate 6593, like its siblings, isn’t good for graphic processing, thus a poor choice for gamers. Its lacks dedicated memory unlike game-oriented laptops that could handle 3D graphics.  The 6593 could only handle obsolete games and is weak when running most of the latest games in the market.

 

Conclusion:

The Travelmate 6593 is ideal for business-related applications but not for gaming purposes. It has the processing power to run programs with the lowered probability of system delays. It can store a large amount of important files and its battery life is very remarkable. Though its graphics handling capability might be weak, this laptop is highly recommended for entrepreneurs.
