Acer Timeline series


The newly announced Acer Timeline series is out to prove that, unlike the Adamo, being slim and pretty doesn't mean having to fork out the big bucks. Though specifics are still a little hazy at this time, we do know that this new range will be based on Intel's ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo chips with 13.3-, 14- and 15.6-inch screen sizes. What's really interesting about Acer's new lineup is that for a price tag of US$699 to US$899, the Timeline laptops have a thickness of less than 1 inch, with what seems to be a brushed-metal top lid. The 16:9 aspect ratio screen is backlit with LED lights, which help to give the machine a claimed uptime of over 10 hours with a solid-state drive or 8 hours with a harddisk. The trackpad is also multitouch-enabled.
