LaptopMag reviews the Acer TravelMate 8210 (rating: 3.5/5) and writes;

“The 8210-6597 gets its power from a 2-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor and 2GB of DDR2 memory, which resulted in an impressive score of 286 on our MobileMark 2005 tests. Equally impressive was the unit’s battery life; the nine-cell li-ion battery lasted for four hours and eight minutes. Unfortunately, wireless performance offered a dismal throughput of 6.7 Mbps from 15 feet and 6.3 Mbps from 50 feet. The ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics managed a very good score of 8,056 on our 3DMark03 tests but crashed when we tried to run the more demanding F.E.A.R. gaming tests. So while you should expect a very good Windows Vista experience (for $2,999), this system is not recommended for gamers. “
