When I first saw this lappie...wow, it was love at first site. I was never a fan of Acer. I always felt their designs were so clunky and boxy. But the Timeline is a cut above the rest. It's profile is sleek. The shell is very elegant. The brushed-metal-like lid prevents any messy fingerprints from sticking. The keyboard is fantastic...all that chiclet goodness makes your fingers slide through it. Even for non-touch-typists, this is a joy on the fingers.
And did I already tell you that it is THIN? At its thinnest point the Aspire Timeline is just 24mm thick (less than one inch), rising just 5 mm at its highest.
The brushed aluminium lid not only gives it a very executive feel, but it also keeps the weight down to a featherweight 1.6kg (3.5 lbs) for the 13.3” model and just 2.4kg (5.3 lbs) for the 15.6” one, making it both lighter and easier to carry around than anything comparable.
And this baby packs a wallop! Intel Core 2 Solo Processor, 3gb ddr3 ram, 320gb hd, state-of-the-art jet-cooling system....wow! Dont let the Core 2 SOLO tagging fool you...you may say it looks slow, but on the contrary, this thing is quite nimble. I tried XP on it. And it blew it away! Then I packed it with the gorgeous Windows 7, and the computing experience is a joy. Doesn't lag...doesn't stall....unless you use Photoshop or other graphic apps extensively. For the normal executive who just does a lot of document processing, this is more than enough.
The battery is great! At full power, and on a single charge, it can go for around 4-5 hours. It is perfect for the road warrior.
The only chink in this exquisite armor is the sound (or the speakers). It's got a very canned effect to it. Oh it also doesn't have a dvd drive (at least for the 3810 model). But since it is so thin, it's a good exchange.
At P39,900, it isn't all that cheap, but still on the affordable side for its class. If you can spare the extra cash, I'd get this over a netbook, anyday.

I agree with you. Acers are not known for their slim lined design or excessive feature builds but this laptop is a step up to the traditional acers.
