Acer TravelMate 340T PC Notebook

Pros: Good screen, fast, slim, loaded
Cons: load, sleep function unreliable

The 340T is a very good, slim, feature packed notebook.

However, I have encounter a few problems with it. I've had it for over a year now and I consider myself a fairly heavy user.

There is no point in me describing all the good...

Pros: Small & Fast
Cons: Slight hiss from the LCD panel

Update 2/2/2001

This is going to be a bit long winded but...

This laptop has had occasional problems booting (cold or warm reboot) Windows 98, from the day I bought it. However, as time went along it got worse. It would stop...

Pros: Great screen and keyboard for a slim line notebook
Cons: Too much weight when carrying along external combined CD/floppy unit

Having labored with the cramped keyboards of the Armada M300, the Sony Vaio 505 line and the Actius 250, I've found (at the cost of only a little extra weight for the unit itself) the standout road machine. The TravelMate's keyboard is almost as good as...

Pros: Light, fast, powerful, at a great price
Cons: None significant

A GREAT Machine, with a Free 64 Meg Memory Deal before June 30th

Windows displaced our Macintoshes at my workplace this spring, so I finally gave up my constant traveling companion – a Macintosh Duo – and went looking for a comparable Windows...

Pros: price, speed, solid construction
Cons: Accessories add to the carrying weight

Bought this as an alternative to Sony Z505 series portable. Although the T340 is a little heavier and screen is SVGA instead of the Sony's XVGA, the keys are bigger, it only weighs 4 lbs, and the price is much lower. Overall it is slick, fast, and well...

Pros: Lightweight, excellent value
Cons: Bulky cdrom/floppy unit, old video chipset

I bought a Travelmate 340T for my girlfriend after weeks of laptop shopping. We wanted a laptop that would be 1) Small form factor and lightweight, 2) Had all the standard I/O Ports, 3) Decent speed, and of course 4) Low price!

The Acer...

Pros: Everything, killer machine.
Cons: The external combo is heavy, although it works great.

The two other opinions on the 340T are right on! That's the good news, but had they used www.rusure.com, they would have found it at a price as low as $1,805 from Egghead. Having had better experience with www.buy.com, I called them, and they agreed to...

Pros: Excellent computer, easy to use, very light.
Cons: Warranty is USELESS: NEVER flash BIOS it voids your warranty! External combo-drive heavy.

The 340T is a very nice and easy to use computer. I won't repeat what other reviewers have already said. However, I want to warn everyone about ACER useless warranty.

My 340T was working fine with its original BIOS. I found a new BIOS on ACER...

Pros: Light, cheap, built in ethernet
Cons: 2 bad pixels on mine

This is my first notebook computer. I was looking for something very portable, yet that I could also hook into a network or use a modem. It is very light, 4.1 pounds with battery. The price is great at less than $2000, which includes 450mhz Pentium...

Pros: size, screen
Cons: teething problems with screen display

Great looking machine compared to the tosh that was crippling my shoulder.
Excellent screen, some interesting software in the package. Looking forward to getting all the software transferred.
Some problem getting the screen to display after...
