For ports, you've got the optical drive on the left; the rear is home to four USB 2.0 ports, both D-SUB and DVI ports and the power connector. Moving on to the right-hand side reveals the modem and network ports - the Voyager C550 has integrated Gigabit Ethernet - along with a four-pin FireWire port and three audio connectors of which one doubles as an optical S/PDIF out. Sadly, the Voyager C550 doesn't support more than two channels of analogue sound despite having an HD codec that supports 7.1 audio.

Finally, there's an IrDA port, a PC Card slot - Express Card is missing - and a multi-format card reader for SD, MMC, MemoryStick and MemoryStick Pro cards. The screen is a 15.4in widescreen with a native resolution of 1,680 x 1,050 - which is the same as the Acer. The Voyager C550 also features the 1.3-megapixel webcam just above the screen but the Acer tops it by having a rotating camera.

Both machines weigh 2.9kg. The Voyager C550 measures 34.5 x 28.4 x 3.5cm compared to 36.3 x 26.6 x 3.4cm for the Acer, so there isn't much of a difference there, either.
