MobileMark 2005 Battery Benchmarks Conclusions

The Acer 2304LCi notebook's battery life is not spectacular, but our results were close to Acer's own estimates of 2 hours. Our major concern is the DVD playback battery life of 67 minutes, which is not enough time to watch most movies from start to finish. You would need two batteries or a higher capacity battery for that.

The 2304LCi's MobileMark 2005 office productivity performance score of 190 and average access time of 1.28 seconds are quite respectable. Both reinforce the notebook's place in the world of computers designed to run home and office applications.
