However, I need the hardware to begin with, and since Acer Poland is playing hard to get, I need a possibly complete list of all Acer laptops affected in case they have at least one of them to spare for a month or two. Here's those I know of already: Travelmate 4001WLMi (being phased out, they won't let us have it) Travelmate 8005LMi (supposedly the same as above) Travelmate 4501WCi Travelmate 292 (Extensa 2920) (AFAIK phased out) Extensa 3001 (N/A) I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to bug Acer, so I need a couple of models that are 100% sure to contain a smart battery. I'd be a shame to finally manage to get a notebook only to send it back just after. Alternatively, I'd appreciate a contact address to one of Acer's engineers or anyone capable of providing any useful information.
