Acually I do HATE those panoramic screens, long & narrow; do we always watching movies? MS Office and others - nobody ever thought about resizing the menus to accomodte better these screens??? I had a CAD, DynaCAD where ecould build the screen the way I wanted. Actually, also possible with SolidWorks.
Back to my 10' Acer One netbook; I have about 3- 4 lines to write may e-mail on the Yahoo; looking to switch out to more spacey e-mail provider...
Through - this is most painful on net-books and small size screens, 10 to12 inches.
I love to go back to my IBM T41 with 'regular' 14inch screen -so huge!, to do some serious work... I heard that Lenovo is still shipping laptops with regular screen sizes. ..]]>Dec 22nd 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/Dec 22nd 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/acer-further-bolsters-timeline-lineup-with-new-8000-series/)

But that bitching aside I just wanted to say after thorough testing, dropping and hauling it around I can recommend that thing to everyone how is disappointed by the Touchpad-Buttons of the Aspire sister-series, I get around 6 hours out of my 8371 Core2Duo Model when just browsing and mailing around and the overall build quality is superb in that price range.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/Dec 22nd 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/acer-busts-out-travelmate-timeline-laptops-for-the-business-type/
According to a review on newegg, the screen is matte.

Here is a perfect example of a business laptop.

14.1" 16:10 1440x900 Matte Screen LED.
Core 2 Solo CPU + Ion
DDR3 Ram
8+ hour battery life.
Ctrl Key on the Bottom Right Side not FN
Non flexy keysboar.
Tactile Keyboard Feel Like Lenovo.
No Integrated Optical Drive for less weight and more battery.
Under 5 pounds in weight.

Make that, and I'll glady pay $800 for it.
