| 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful  Perfect laptop - light, good looks and performs well!, This review is from: Acer Aspire Timeline X 4830T 14 inch Laptop - Aluminium (Intel Core i3-2350M 2.3GHZ, RAM 3GB, HDD 500GB, DVD-Super Multi DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) (Personal Computers) I've used many business and personal laptops over the past few years, but having now owned my new Timleline X 4830T for the best part of two days I can safely say it beats them all hands down! This is the new 2012 version of the 4830T with the brand new i3-2350M processor, which is is faster than the previous i3 versions and perfect for all uses other than advanced movie editing and extreme gaming.I was orginally looking to buy a 15.6" laptop, and was keen on the Acer 5750 (awesome spec from a respected manufacturer). Until I saw the Timeline X. There is no real comparison, other than the price. I was converted. The Timeline X is light, with a very attractive blue aluminium case and, importantly, has a 14" screen, making it properly 'laptop' size. It seems to perfectly bridge the gap between the notebooks and ultra books, but for a very good price. The inclusion of a DVD drive was important for me so I can use it as a proper replacement for my desktop without...

What impresses me the most is that the mouse pad doesn't interfere when you are touch typing. I've tried out HP's, Dells, Toshibas etc and they make touch typing almost impossible. The amount of times I end up with half a sentence in with the wrong paragraph because the mouse has moved the cursor - too many to mention and really irritating! That's not a good enough reason to buy a laptop but it's a reasonable one, however I really like this laptop and I've owned nearly all the top makes over the years (excluding Apple - love them but just can't justify the price).I've had an Acer before which was very reliable despite considerable misuse so hopefully this one will last the test of time. First impression - very good - so much so I've just ordered one for myself (I did need a new one - honest!) 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful Light and lovely, By This review is from: Acer Aspire Timeline X 4830T 14 inch Laptop - Aluminium (Intel Core i3-2350M 2.3GHZ, RAM 3GB, HDD 500GB, DVD-Super Multi DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) (Personal Computers) I pretty much endorse the very positive comments of the other two reviews: this light and lovely thing has amazing battery life, and in spite of the inevitable trade-off between power and battery life, manages an impressive 5.1 on the Windows Experience Index (slowed by the on-chip Intel graphics). I would take maybe half a star away for two manufacturing judgements I would disagree with.A 14" screen with a native resolution of 1366 x 768 is pushing the legibility limits of TN screen technology in my opinion. Fine if you're 18 with perfect eyesight, not so good if your eyesight is less than perfect. To get this kind of resolution on this size screen, I feel you need to go to IPS screen technology, like the Apple and Android tablets use. My second minor cavil: this is the first laptop I've had with the hard drive unpartitioned. And it's a whopping 500gb too. Previous Acers (with smaller drives) have had two partitions, one for the OS and one for data. You can of course... Read more |
