One would hazard a guess that the most likely causes of early laptop retirement, regardless of who uses the machine, are the same—death by gravity (dropping) or death by blunt object (smacking it against something). This review was undertaken due to the latter cause of death. An overzealous traveler apparently stuffed this writer’s trusty old Acer 1690 WLCi into an overhead bin to make room for his oversized luggage (the backpack containing the machine managed to travel four rows from its original location, so there was more than one culprit). One must look at the bright side, however. The Acer weighed about 40 lbs and was far too big to use on an airplane. Upon arriving in Phoenix, the search for a new, smaller, and lighter machine was underway.
