By Troy Richards

Design: Weighing in at 3.7 pounds the Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810TZ-4880 is a 13.3-Inch Laptop that looks both solid and professional. With its backlit LED screen, the laptop is quite thin at 1.1 inches and measures 12.7 inches wide by 8.9 inches deep. Featuring a very comfortable keyboard with large flat keys along with a multi-touch touch pad the laptop is very nice to use. A row of touch sensitive buttons for the shortcut keys light up above the keyboard as well.

Specifications: The Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810TZ-4880 is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo U9400 1.4GHz processor with a large 4GB memory of 1066MHz DDR2 RAM. The hard disk is also quite large at 500GB and is built around Intel's more powerful Intel GS45 chipset and integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD GPU, running Windows Vista Premium with no problems. The laptop's 13.3 inch LED backlit display uses a 1366x768 pixel native resolution. Connection-wise the laptop offers a VGA port, a HDMI port, headphone/microphone jacks, three USB2.0 ports, an SD card reader and an Ethernet LAN port. The laptop connects wirelessly via 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi.

Features & Performance: While the Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810TZ-4880 runs on Intel's new dual-core Consumer Ultra-Low-Voltage line, the laptop is surprisingly powerful, easily surpassing other laptops of the same class. This means that even with the system optimized for energy efficiency you can still get world class performance for office applications, surfing the Internet, watching HD movies and even playing a few more-than-casual games. For its class the Laptop has a long battery life of 5 hours and 30 minutes using continuous HD movie playback that is a very energy intensive task. The laptop can probably last a lot longer for other tasks and even reach the advertised 8-hour battery life on a single charge.

All in all, the Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810TZ-4880 is a great 13.3-inch thin laptop that combines the best of everything from performance and portability to battery life and comfortable use. Its good price point also helps making it ideal for anyone who doesn't need Bluetooth and an optical disc drive.
