The world’s second-largest laptop manufacturer, Acer, introduced the U.S. availability of its Aspire Timeline series of business notebooks that average more than 8 hours of battery life, the company says.
The Aspire Timeline is a thin and light mainstream notebook that combines Intel’s ultra low-voltage processors with a palatable price tag: the series ranges from $598 to $899. The company is calling the series “all day computing” notebooks because you can (theoretically) work from 9 to 5 without stopping to plug in and recharge.
(Wondering about those battery life figures? The company says it measured systems using Bapco’s MobileMark 2007 Productivity benchmark test and got more than 9 hours per notebook.
There are three flavors of Timeline: the 3.5-lb., 13.3-in. AS3810 is a road-warrior companion; the 4.2-lb., 14-in. AS4810 is best for bigger hands (and those who need an integrated optical drive); and the 15.6-in., 5.3-lb. AS5810 manages a dedicated numeric keyboard on the old laptop size standard.
All models are less than an inch thin (and just over an inch at their thickest).
Outside, a brushed aluminum finish provides a little bling and a multi-gesture touchpad (pinch, flick, swirl, scroll) provides the power to manipulate the system. Inside, you’ll find either Intel Pentium, Intel Core Solo or Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low voltage processors and 3GB or 4GB of memory, a high-definition CineCrystal LED backlit widescreen display (16:9 ratio), Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi 802.11b/g Draft-N, a Crystal Eye webcam, built-in digital microphone and two built-in stereo speakers.
The systems are also lead- and mercury-free.
Like Dell, Acer offers many configurations, but here are some examples:
