Acer Aspire Timeline Notebooks
Acer today introduced the U.S. availability of its Aspire Timeline Series of notebooks.
With prices beginning as low as $598, the Timeline delivers high-end styling and excellent performance in a thin and light design.
Acer combined numerous low power components with a standard high-capacity 6-cell battery, allowing them to keep the design as small as possible. In addition, a PowerSmart button located above the keyboard allows consumers to extend battery life. A simple press of the button activates the advanced power savings settings. Lastly, an Acer PowerSmart adapter senses when the notebook is unplugged, and stops sending needless energy. It also stops pulling power from the wall outlet when the adapter is full.
With prices ranging from $598 to $899 and three lines include the numerous models within the 13.3-inch AS3810, 14-inch AS4810 and 15.6-inch AS5810 lines.
The 3.5 pound AS3810 with a 13.3-inch display is the ideal traveling companion. For those who need a slightly larger display and an integrated optical drive, the 4.2 pound AS4810 with a 14-inch display will more than satisfy their requirements. The AS5810 includes a large 15.6-inch display, integrated optical drive and dedicated numeric keyboard.
At its slimmest point, all models are less than one-inch thin, and just over one-inch at their thickest. Weighing between 3.5 and 5.3 pounds.
Offering either Intel Pentium, Intel Core Solo or Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low voltage processors and 3GB or 4GB of memory, the Timeline Series packs enough power to handle daily productivity tasks such as email, Internet browsing and Office applications.
The Acer Aspire Timeline features high-definition CineCrystal LED backlit widescreen displays (16:9 ratio), which offer 33 percent more energy savings than traditional notebook screens, bringing significant power savings to mobile computing.
Internet access is provided through Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi 802.11b/g Draft-N.
An integrated Acer Crystal Eye webcam delivers smooth video streaming and high quality images for online chats.
A Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows users to pinch, flick and swirl their fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as navigation of websites. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows users to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. The TouchPad can also be disabled with a one-touch button.
