Hands on: Acer Timeline X review. After details seeped out elsewhere last week, today saw the official unveiling of the Acer Timeline X. We popped along to see the new models at their launch in central London. A 12-hour battery life is cited for the Timeline X, though this doesn't apply to the cheaper £599 models – you'll be paying a couple of hundred pounds more for that privilege. Up to nine different variants will be launched by Acer, employing the Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, while different models also pack AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series graphics up to the HD 5650 with 1GB of onboard memory.
All have LED backlit displays, helped along by Intel display technology that conserves battery power. These are touted as thin and light laptops. In reality they're not – 24mm is the cited thinnest model, but as a rule the range isn't exactly lightweight, between 1.4Kg and 2.4Kg. 3 to 4GB of RAM is standard, with a minimum of 250GB of storage. This is the 14-inch model. Review Acer Aspire 5820TG Notebook. Sebastian Jentsch, 10/14/2010 Frugal Gamer. A good HD 5650 graphics, perfect performance with an Arrandale refresh CPU, low power consumption and presentable slim design. The Timeline X is suitable for many tasks: eSATA and sunbath-surfing remains to be taboo. Sure, if you want an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 to play with, you don't have to spend 900 euro like for Acer's Aspire TimelineX 5820TG-5464G75Mnks.
The popular GPU with weak AMD CPUs is already available for about 600 euro (Toshiba Satellite L650D-10H). A high-end but nevertheless affordable alternative to cheap gamers is facing us as the Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820TG. There's got to be a bit of luxury. There's barely a place for fingerprints or greasy surfaces. The case is stable and makes a high-end impression with clean mounting of plastic and aluminum parts.
The hinges have a tight grip on the lid and there is only a slight teetering. The lid's stiff aluminum surface bestows the thin construction a very good stiffness. Supplies. Review Acer Aspire 4820TG Timeline X Notebook. By: Florian Glaser 05/03/2010 That significant eXtra. Acers new 14 inch high-class performer is here: the Aspire Timeline X 4820TG-434G64Mn promises to deliver decent performance thanks to the installed Core i5 and the mobile Radeon HD 5650 graphics chip. On top of that, Acer assures customers that the laptop will also have long battery life and easy-to-use switchable graphics. The Timeline series has long been famous for the long battery life of its models, as shown by our tests on the 1810TZ, the 3810T/4810T and the 8471/8571.
Sadly though, the models could not deliver both a good battery life and good performance, and were thus incapable of competing with other laptops. This lackluster performance scared buyers off from the purchase of Timeline models. Now Acer is making a comeback with new models which promise to deliver good performance and long battery life. The Aspire 4820TG looks nice, but, the design may be impractical in certain areas.

Acer Aspire Timeline X 4820TG review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of Laptops and netbooks. Acer's range of TimelineX laptops is built predominantly for consumers seeking performance and portability. To this end, the Aspire TimelineX 4820TG-5454G50Mn proves to be a great consumer option with its impressive power and stunning design. The laptop comes with a large 6-cell battery which sticks out awkwardly from the back of the laptop. With 661 minutes of battery life available, however, it's hard to complain. The sizeable battery does add a little weight and, at 2.3kg, the laptop isn't the lightest machine around – but we think it's a fair exchange considering the outstanding battery life on offer. Build quality is also excellent and the brushed-aluminium lid and chassis not only look smart, but provide excellent protection for all the internal components.
The material is also very resilient to scratches and doesn't attract dust and dirt, making it ideal for life on road. The firm, flat keyboard is very comfortable to use and the spread-out keys reduce typing errors.
