Quote:The Acer TravelMate 3000 comes with two batteries, is small enough that you can pick it up with one hand, and costs a reasonable $1299. On the other hand, it lacks a built-in optical drive, and the keyboard is uncomfortable. Unlike most notebooks, the TravelMate 3000 comes standard with two interchangeable (though not hot-swappable) batteries. To minimize the machine's weight and bulk, use the three-cell battery, which sits flush with the case. Unfortunately, this battery lasted only 1.8 hours in our tests, about 1.5 hours less than the average ranked laptop in our Top 15. For more juice, use the six-cell battery, which extends the back of the unit by about an inch and adds a little over 3 ounces of extra weight. This battery lasted just shy of 4 hours--more than twice as long as the three-cell battery.
