Two days ago, Acer announced its new laptop series under the Aspire sub-brand, the Acer Aspire Timeline, which combines perfomance, mobility, connectivity, and entertainment, without sacrificing the machine’s weight and dimension (only 23.4mm thicks). In a matter of fact, Timeline also offers more efficient and less power consumption, thus providing more than eight hours of battery life per full charge! If it’s true, Timeline is a truly dream machine for people like me who mostly works outdoors. However, to obtain this incredible feature, you have to first activate Acer’s Smart Power function. Once activated, it will do its best to extend the laptop’s battery life by using on-demand system (no unnecessary waste of energy).

Regarding hardware, Acer Aspire Timeline series laptop features Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low voltage (ULV) processor and Intel Display Power Savings Technology (Intel DPST) that reduces display backlight with minimum visual impact, saving up to 33% energy compared to typical notebooks. As a result, the system efficiency is greatly increased, reducing power consumption and boosting battery life by up to 40%. It also comes with a built-in cooling technology that is developed together with Intel. Through the addition of louvers to the inlet vents, the cooling air flow is redirected along the bottom side of the notebook chassis, putting fresh air precisely where it’s needed to better cool the skin.

Sounds good so far? Well, one of Timeline configuration include an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 (1.4Ghz) processor, up to 8GB of DDR3 main memory, up to 500GB of hard drive (or 80GB of SSD), a DVD Super Multi drive, and up to 15.6-inch display with 1366 x 768 resolution. Three models will be release first: Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T (13.3-inch), 4810T (14.1-inch), and 5810T (15.6-inch). Hmmm, definitely looking forward for this!
