ACER 8006LMi review - Page 4

I managed to exchange the HD without any problems. Took about three minutes total!

I'm very satisfied with my new laptop so far. Only thing negative is the lack of a trackpoint. Installed a couple of IBM R51:s at work today and the trackpoint on them is about 1000% better than anything else I've tried. The MR9700 in the 8006LMi plays Half-Life 2 at 1024*768 just fine which was one of the most important considerations I had before ordering.

A faster DVD-burner would be the logical next upgrade to this computer...

None, I exchanged the disk at once when I got the computer and then used the recovery disk to install everything. After that I converted the disk to NTFS.

WinXP SP2 has BT driver inside. On my TM8003Lmi they works better tha the Widcomm ones. Just unistall Widcomm before upgrading to SP2.

DVI connector in Acer 8006

Hi there,

Regarding the DVI, I believe it's a DVI-D, not a mini-DVI nor a DVI-I, correct? Does anyone know what resolution is it able to achieve? (check this page for pictures of the connectors - http://www.datapro.net/products/1148.html)

I was planning to get the 23inch Apple monitor to go with the laptop to work at home. By the way, no ps2 connector for keyboard, right?

Could somebody tell me what PCMCIA controller is there in this laptop? Or maybe someone uses the Creative Audigy 2 ZS card with it and can tell if everything works fine? I consider buying this computer (or 8100 series - how is with it?) but I would like to know if this card will work well.
Thanks

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook works fine in both 8003 and 8104 here. Both laptops use O2Micro PCMCIA controller (slightly different models, OZ711M3 in 8104).
