Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi review (Yonah powered)

The biggest draw comes from the guts of this system. The TravelMate 8204WLMi comes with the much-anticipated Intel Core Duo T2500 (2.0 GHz) dual-core processor, a ridiculous amount of RAM (2GB), and ATI's newest graphics board, the Mobility Radeon X1600. Its SYSmark 2004 SE scores reached an all-time high for a mobile processor, at 291 for Internet Content Creation and 175 for Office Productivity. That's 40 percent and 25 percent higher, respectively, than the HP Pavilion dv4000, a single-core notebook and our previous Editors' Choice. It completed our Adobe Photoshop scripts in 71.4 seconds, a whopping 51 percent faster than the HP Pavilion dv5000z, another single-core unit. It finished our Windows Media Encoder tests in 7 minutes 37 seconds, a very impressive feat.

I said these typical notebook performance comparisons won´t look pretty, Yonah vs. Turion, and they don´t.
