Notebook Check have published a review of the Acer TravelMate 8571 Notebook. 'The TravelMate 8571 didn't score very well in Windows Vista performance index. The CPU (4.6), the RAM (4.9) and the hard disk (5.5) still achieved fairly good results. In return, Windows assessed the graphic card with only 3.2 (graphics) and 3.3 (graphics games) points. With help from the DPC Latency Checker tool, we also checked the latencies under Windows. If these are too high, it can come to problems at connecting external devices (for example sound crackling with external sound cards). The TravelMate 8571 does well in this respect, the latencies reached roughly 1000 µs at most and is, therefore, still in an unproblematic field.'
