The LP300 has two slim storage bays for CD devices, with Bay 1 changeable with CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD Drive and Bay 2 changeable with CD-ROM/CD-RW/ DVD/2nd HDD Drive or RF Module to enable simultaneous storage of important document. Because of the fully equipped communication devices, you can easily set up a back up office from the main office without the need for pulling expensive fiber optics cabling! Also ideal for the SOHO or branch office environment which requires roaming capabilities!

As someone often on the road, you need a PC that is as ready to travel as you are. Exceptionally thin and easy to carry, the TravelMate C100 is the ideal productivity tool for business meetings and client presentations. The TravelMate C100 is small enough to slip into a briefcase, and light enough to rest on one arm or in your lap - yet big enough to handle the most demanding applications. What's more, an extended battery life and the option of wireless LAN enhance your mobility by freeing you from the desk and keeping you on the move.

TURNING POINT

The TravelMate C100 features Acer's innovative convertible hinge, so your computer is as versatile as you are. In addition to working on a document in standard notebook mode, you can also rotate the screen to show clients presentations or share work with your colleagues. And, by swivelling and folding back the LCD screen, your notebook converts into a handy tablet computer with a large slate screen for effortless writing. The screen layout is convertible too, allowing you to shift between landscape and portrait viewing modes for even greater flexibility.

NATURE'S WAY

Your TravelMate C100 gives you three ways to work with your computer: in addition to traditional keyboard typing and using a touch pad or external mouse, data can be entered with the ease of handwriting and speaking. With Acer's clever integration of software and hardware, you can issue spoken commands to activate functions, or dictate notes that convert into text. And Acer's EMR stylus makes using your computer simpler than ever, allowing you to write, file, and store notes in a new format called digital ink, or convert your handwriting into typewritten text, as you write.

NO WORRIES (mate)

As a knowledge worker, you want the comfort of knowing that your data and applications are safe at all times. With a built-in SmartCard reader and Acer's security solution, PlatinumSecreta, the TravelMate C100 prevents unauthorised access to files and programmes. Moreover, SmartCard security is designed to increase your control over confidential information during e-commerce transactions and other online activities. These added levels of security are very effective and easy to operate; you simply set a password that can only be used in conjunction with your personal SmartCard.

READY FOR MORE

Some of the TravelMate C100's greatest features are the ones you never get to see. And that's especially true for Acer's intensive testing programme for all TravelMate computers. With the TravelMate C100, we have increased our exacting standards by adding specific tests for writing on the screen and rotating the convertible hinge. For added protection and peace of mind, Acer's innovative DASP (disc anti-shock protection) system is built into the base of your computer, which, combined with a rugged magnesium alloy case, guards against the physical knocks you may encounter during daily mobile use.
