Features
Windows 10 operating system
Windows 10 brings back the Start Menu from Windows 7 and introduces new features, like the Edge Web browser that lets you markup Web pages on your screen.
11.6″ display
Acer ComfyView technology reduces reflection. Typical 1366 x 768 HD resolution. LED backlight.
Intel® Celeron® processor N3160

4GB system memory for basic multitasking
Adequate high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run multiple applications and browser tabs all at once.
128GB solid state drive (SSD)
While offering less storage space than a hard drive, a flash-based SSD has no moving parts, resulting in faster start-up times and data access, no noise, and reduced heat production and power draw on the battery.
Intel® HD Graphics 400
On-processor graphics with shared video memory provide everyday image quality for Internet use, basic photo editing and casual gaming.
Weighs 3.2 lbs. and measures 0.9″ thin
Ultrathin and ultralight for maximum portability, featuring a smaller screen size and omitting the DVD/CD drive to achieve the compact form factor. 4-cell lithium-ion battery.

Wirelessly transfer photos, music and other media between the desktop and your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or MP3 player, or connect Bluetooth wireless accessories.
1 USB 3.0 port maximizes the latest high-speed devices

Built-in media reader for simple photo transfer

Next-Gen Intel® Wireless-AC connectivity

I would love to win this laptop for my mom. Hers is broken and too old to repair.
My laptop was stolen and I just cannot afford a new one at the moment. Very frustrating!!!
I never have a laptop in my life.
Good luck!! To those ppl who participated in the draw hopefully one lucky winner will be happy in the last day of result and thank for this historic and wonderful giveaway!!
I would love this Acer TravelMate Laptop for my daily use. The smaller size fits perfectly in my day bag. I can access my computer no matter where I am. I love it!
I wang to experience Acer laptop performance.
I would like to win it because it is ultralight and would be great for travelling.
I’m downsizing to a smaller apartment and this would be a nice replacement for my old Dell W7 PC.

I have an older model which is ready for replacement. This would be a nice way to get that replacement. 🙂 Thanks

Have recently repaired and given away 2 Acer laptops one went to my partner and the other to her disabled son. Wouldn’t mind having one for myself. Thanks
What e-mail address will the winning notification come from? Thanks, Long Time Subscriber
Forgot to ask how many entries can 1 person submit?
Hi Lisa,
One entry per person, but referrals via Twitter and/or Facebook will get you additional entries (two per referral).
Richard
Thanks again
Hi Lisa,
I can sympathize with your hesitation about receiving eMail from unknown sources.
You are proving yourself to be an intelligent and well-informed “surfer’; hopefully, part of that stems from reading DCT articles? 😉
I only wish that my customers were so well-behaved (they know who they are),
Richard
Hi Lisa,
The eMail address will be from DCT; it might show up as my own at Gmail, too. In any case, there will be a DCT signature at the bottom.
Richard
Thank you. I don’t like opening mail I don’t recognize.
I am terminally ill with cancer and spend hours in waiting rooms of doctors and hospitals, would be great to keep-up with correspondence and other work. Thanks to Acer and DCT for amazing opportunity.
Hi James,
I am truly sorry to hear that you are having health problems.
I wish I could help in some way,
Richard
God Bless You! Prayers!
Currently I have an old HP laptop running Windows XP (now very slow!). This Acer give-away by DCT would be a great way to upgrade to the latest technology. Thank you Acer and DCT.
Been fighting prostate cancer that metastasized into my skeletal areas, such as bones. Been fighting this since 2014. This would be a nice gift for my 79th B’day. I would use this laptop to keep all my doctor notes and prescribed treatments.
I would like to win this bad boy so I can stay connected when I’m on the move. I don’t use cell phones and only have a desk top at home. I don’t venture out too often but when I do it would be great to be able to stay connected or have something to do when sitting around in the waiting room at the doctors office.
What do you mean by a disposable email address? I have had this same yahoo email address for 13 years. I doubt I will throw it away…lol!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this Acer TravelMate 11.6″ HD Laptop! Happy Memorial day weekend to all! God Bless all who have ever served and are serving now!
Thanks to Acer and DCT for this great opportunity to win such a beaut little laptop.
I would like to win it so as I can present it to my daughter so she can use it at school like all the rest of her fellow students. Sadly I’m not in a financial position where I can easily afford such an item.
Thanks for the opportunity. Reason I want it: I’m guessing this is faster than my ancient laptop that got 1st gen i3.
A huge thank you to both DCT and Acer for this giveaway. Personally, this laptop would perfectly suit my needs to write papers and essays for school. Once again, a huge thank you and good luck to everyone who has entered!!
Wouldn’t it be fun to WIN a new computer. I have a desktop now, but it is old and giving me a lot of trouble. Sure would love to get notice that I WON!!!
