Introducing the Acer Aspire Timeline
Acer is beefing up battery life in its latest ultra-portable laptop, the Aspire Timeline series. Said to be capable of eight hours-plus of computing on a single charge, the Timeline series is available in three screen sizes, from the 1.6-kilo,13.3-inch size to the 1.9-kilo, 14-inch size.
According to Acer, Aspire Timeline’s extended battery life is owed to a combination of factors including its unique design, Intel's ultra low-voltage processors, advanced-power management, high-capacity batteries and LED backlit displays. The result is a series of laptops that are thinner, lighter and much more energy-efficient than other laptops.
Timeline models carry a 1.30-1.40Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and support up to 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz memory. Each system is built with the Mobile Intel GS45 Express chipset, which includes Intel's 4500MHD Graphics Media Accelerator with 64MB of dedicated video memory.
As for storage, you get your choice of a 160GB, 250GB, 320GB or 500GB hard drive.
