When the first Acer Aspire Timeline series as released in mid-2009, it changed the landscape of portable computing. Sporting the new line of Intel consumer ultra-low-voltage (CULV) processor, the lower cost and thermal signature allowed Acer to produce an impressively slim thin-and-light which was also affordable. The latest iteration of the Timeline series ups the ante by integrating a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon video chip under the hood, though we are still holding our collective breath for when this range starts sporting built-in optical drives.
Design
Though the Aspire Timeline 3810TG holds a dedicated graphics card under the hood, it maintains the same sleek profile as its predecessor. Unlike the MSI X-Slim X340, another 13.3-inch CULV laptop, this Acer has a chassis fashioned from metal instead of plastic. This adds to the aesthetic appeal and hardiness of the machine, though in the process the Timeline 3810 TG is also a little heavier than the MSI model.| Price as reviewed | S$1,898 (US$1,350.60) |

The keyboard is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, the individual key design is surprisingly comfortable to type on and provides sufficient tactile feedback for touch typing. Unfortunately, unlike Sony or Apple models, the keys are hollow underneath, which means crumbs and dust get in easily and will be difficult to remove. Fortunately, the touchpad helps by being generously sized and multitouch-capable.
This keyboard is a perfect hiding place for crumbs and dirt.
