    I'm kind of interested in the TravelMate 292LMi-V64MB. The price is right and the specs look good, except this part that says: two integrated stereo speakers, stereo microphone/line in, mono headphone/speaker/line out.

    Are they serious, a mono audio out? It can be a major drawback, isn't it? Does anyone has experience with this model? Thanks for any advice.

    that can't be right, even the lowest of low budget notebooks offer stereo speaker out via headphones. i have no specific info on that model though.

    I found it hard to believe too. But that is what it says at the Acer site
    http://www.acer.com/APP/AKC/INTERNET/AACPubli.nsf/allDocs/RWP5316796DAD14705D88256D55007A13CB?OpenDocument

    Can anyone has this model tell me please, is it really mono out? Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for the reply. You are right. Acer online assistance wrote me today "The audio supports stereo headphone/speaker/line out. I have notified the appropriate personnel to have the web information corrected."
