Overview

Acer TravelMate 6463WLMi

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

The TravelMate 6463WLMi is a large and well-specified Core 2 Duo notebook with an excellent high-resolution 15.4in. screen. It should perform admirably as a largely desk-bound business system, but you won't want to carry it far.

Typical price

£ 749

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
