The Aspire Timeline 3810T is a inch-thin laptop produced by well-known laptop producer, Acer, has long-lasting laptops about 8 hours and above with starting prices well under a thousand dollars. It’s part of a rapidly growing trend in laptops that are smaller and cheaper than mainstream ones, but larger and pricier than netbooks.
For $899 (starting at $599), the 13.3-inch 3810T outshines most value-priced laptops with an extremely slim profile. You also get a big with speedy 500GB hard drive, and performance that’s more than good enough for everyday computing. If you can live without an optical drive, which might be a deal breaker for some, the Timeline 3810T is a great buy.
How thin the laptop?
With the lid closed, the Timeline 3810T’s matte gray, fingerprint-proof plastic lid is similar to the company’s business-oriented TravelMate series. In contrast to the $899 Aspire 3935, which, for the same price, sports a more attractive golden brown brushed-metal chassis, and an integrated optical drive. On the other hand, the 3810T is significantly lighter at 3.6 pounds (vs. 4.2 for the 3935) and marginally thinner (0.9 inches at its thinnest point vs. 1.0 inches).
This machine is no MSI X340, which weighs 2.9 pounds, but it’s still refreshingly light to carry. Overall, the matte gray-and-black color scheme is a bit conservative, but the keys’ finish and island–style layout keep it current.
You won’t find any multimedia controls, touch-sensitive or otherwise, on this laptop—just a strip of LED lights above the keyboard indicating Wi-Fi connectivity, BackUp Manager, battery power, and hard drive. A small button next to the touchpad deactivates it (a feature more commonly found on business laptops, which have both a touchpad and a trackball in the center of the keyboard).
How about keyboard and touchpad?
