Tired of hauling a heavy laptop on the road only to have it die midproject? Acer's new notebook may be the answer. It gives you more than 8 hours of battery life, thanks to Intel's nascent ultralow-voltage (ULV) processor. The laptop is thin-just under an inch at its skinniest-and a shoulder friendly 31/2 pounds. At $900 fully loaded, it's light on the wallet, too. That gets you a 500GB hard drive, 4GB memory, and 13-inch screen. The Acer's thermal management system borrows from jet-engine turbine technology, using louvers in the vents to direct airflow across the bottom of the chassis.
