The Acer Timeline is just 24 mm thick (less then one inch),rising just 5 mm at its highest point. It has a brushed aluminium cover and weight of 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs) for its 13.3'' model.What's more impressive is its 8 hours of battery life.
It has got a nice black metal finish which means that there won't be any finger prints. The keys are quite wobbly. But in case of the touchpad, it is one of the best ever . The touchpad also supports pinch-and-zoom with two fingers. The best part is that even with a DVD drive, it's extremely light at just 1.6 kg. The screen is a beautiful, bright 13.3-inch one with backlit LED making Acer 4820TG really good to look at. It has 8 hours of battery life.
It has an Intel Core i5-430 M 2.26Ghz processor with 4GB of RAM. In addition, it also has a 500GB HDD and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Graphics card. This ensures good video quality when you view your media or even want to play games. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit which is responsive and works without hassles most of the time.
Like Nvidia's optimus technology, this too, has two graphic processing units (GPUs) which switch between high performance and low to give you optimal performance for computing. What NvidiaOptimus does is switch to a high performance GPU, that is ATI, when it has to run programmes with high graphic content and switch to the Intel GPU for the low menial computational tasks.
But then, you will have to do this manually as it doesn't switch automatically. If you are a new user, you wouldn't even probably know it's there as Acer has not mentioned this anywhere. A dedicated switch would have been better. Regarding the actual workings of the switch, Acer recommends that you shut down all applications before you switch to GPU. If you switch without shutting down your programmes, the screen freezes. The 2 GPUS are a pain to switch on. They do their job but with a lot of hiccups.
All standard forms of connectivity are present -- USB, HDMI out, Ethernet, standard headphone jack and Wi-Fi. Full HD in 1080p in 16:9. The speakers are pretty good too and enhance the sound via Virtual Surround Sound making it slightly better than the speakers on most laptops.
It costs 49,000.
