Burning at Lightning Speeds - LG GSA-H62N

It's that time once agains for the DVD burning speed wars to pick up speed as many vendors jump on the bandwagon to produce yet another high speed DVD burning optical drive. Case in point, LG sent over an 18X SuperMulti DVD-RW drive to the labs of PC.com for a review a run. Your truly got his grubby hand onto it soon as it arrived through the front entrance. When I dug it out of the box I expected the usual plethora of connectors. What greeted me instead were, to my delisght, two SATA port. For this review, I used two different Imation DVD-Rs, one Ritek DVD-R and one Mitsubishi DVD-R.

All the discs, which have a burn rating range of 8X to 16 X, had their entire capacity filled up. From the lot of DVDs used, the Imation DVDs locked in a record burning of 3 minutes while the Ritek and Mitsubishi ones scored a burn time of 5 minutes. Verifying and randomly checking the written data showed little to no write errors. At high-writing error, but with LG burner their none. That, in itself is surprising, since the memory buffer on the LG burner is a miniscule 2MB, Leading me to assume that there would be some writing erros when burning at max speed.

Acer TravelMate 6921

The TravalMate is a series that Acer’s had around for some time. True to the name, the TraverlMate range is made to be lugged around whiter you will and we had one model travel to us, the Acer TravelMate 6921

No nonsense from this machine. On the outside it has no unnecessary frills and is not particularly easy tell apart from the rest of the business centric notebook crowd. Black, not shiny, business like and well, that is what most business user want. Not to mention the funny looks you get from McLaren fans if you decided to do a business presentation with an Acer Ferrari notebook instead.

On the specs side of the scale, its heart is intel’s Centerio Duo T5500 running at 1.66Ghz and a decent 1 GB of Ram to properly run the copy of Vista that was installed on the machine. Graphic Wise, it does also recommend this for games with high graphic requirement. But as far as basic specifications go, office application and nothing too taxing will run just fine on this machine.

Beside the processor and RAM, you also get a decent amount of USB ports - three to be exact. If any of you quibble about not having more, do remember you’re getting portability for the price of saving.

Apart from that, you don’t really feel short- changed because the notebook comes with all the standard WiFi, BlueTooth, a card reader, Firewire port as well as S-video/Tv out. Event better, they slapped on the web camera as well which is certainly a space saver.
