'For frequent travelers who require a notebook that's compact and lightweight, but doesn't skimp on performance, Chem USA delivers a capable thin-and-light machine that won't break the bank.'

'It might be external but Acer has at least given it a really cool design in keeping with the rest of the notebook – it has angular buttons and a red streak down the side – it looks like Darth Vader's personal external DVD-ROM drive - and that's a good thing.'
