Hey all--
Recently I have taken interest in Acer's TravelMate series of notebooks. I have, however, been somewhat frustrated at how they devise their model numbers. I know that W = widescreen and all of that, but there seems to be inconsistencies between their resellers as to what is included in a paritcular model...especially in relation to whether the model has integrated graphics or a dedicated ATI 9700.
Example: TM4002WLMi-XPP, Acer's manufacturer's # LX.T5306.040
According to Acer's Canadian website, this notebook has integrated graphics: http://www.acer.ca/acerpanam/page4.d...crc=2402741098
However, looking at one of their authorized resellers (Insight) gives the impression that the very same model (same manufacturer's # LX.T5306.040) has an ATI 9700: http://www.insight.ca/apps/productpr...t_id=ACE909793
I have contacted the reseller for clarification, but I am finding that just about every reseller has different information than Acer's website. Very frustrating! Has anyone else experienced this?
