Acer has rolled into CeBIT with a few
all-new systems, but it's also taken the opportunity to introduce some updates to its existing models, including six new revisions to its Aspire and TravelMate lines. Leading things off are the high(ish)-end Aspire 8942 and Aspire 5942, which pack 18.4 and 15.6-inch displays, your choice of the latest 2010 Core processors, an integrated TV tuner, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 1.2TB of storage (courtesy of to 640GB drives), and some niceties like a multitouch trackpad, and a CineSurround sound system with a "Tuba CineBass" booster. It's joined by the
TravelMate 8372 Timeline series, which is itself available in 13.3-, 14-, and 15.6-inch varieties with Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, and the 15.6-inch Acer TravelMate 6594, which packs a Core i5 or i7 processor and ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics. Rounding out the standard laptops are the 17.3-inch Acer TravelMate 7740 and 15.6-inch 5740, which come equipped with Core i3 or i5 processors, up to 8GB of RAM, and either integrated or ATI Radeon HD5470 graphics.
As if that wasn't enough, Acer has also introduced the new 11.6-inch Aspire One 752 netbook, which actually packs a Celeron ULV processor instead of the usual Atom, and the Aspire Predator G7750 gaming PC, which finishes things off in a suitably over-the-top fashion with a Core i7 Extreme Edition processor, liquid cooling, dual LAN connectivity, swappable hard drive bays, and support for Acer's GD245HQ 3D monitor. Hit up the gallery below for a closer look at some of the offerings.

allways youse a spill chucker.
I think someone was in a bit of a rush to get this article out...
Erm Guys, you seem to have pulled an old gallery from somewhere with the old Timeline 8371 series that had the SU9400 processor.
I thought the Aspire Predator G7750 was a desktop not a laptop.

How about we stop focusing on whether or not Engadget writers use correct English or not, and actually, you know, focus on the actual content.
And if these laptops are priced well, I could see myself purchasing one. Ya know, if I had the money. lol
I like the redesign of the new Timelines. I have the current model and it works very well for my needs. the one thing I miss (and most other laptops don't have this either) is a set of media keys. I had them on my old laptop and made things much easier. other than that, I'd like to see if the new Timelines get the 8 hour battery life with the i3 processor
Glad to see a focus on Celeron instead of Atom; ugh, talk about lack of processing power of the Atom.
the 752 looks exactly and has the same specs as the aspire 1410t that I own. whats new? the aspire one branding?
@undooo yeah, give me 1410 + ION 2 and I'll be excited Acer.
@undooo
At first it does look excatly like the 1410 but I think Acer wanted this 752 to be the successor to the 751(that has the z520 cpu) and put a Celeron ULV instead.
Vs. 1410/1810 where you can have other choice of ULV, I think the 752 will be packaged with the Celeron ULV and thats it.
Will be priced lower than the 1410 series.
When can we see these? I'm in the market, Acer!
Acer is so under rated. Great Laptops!
Acer only needs to bump the resolution in the 14" and 15.6" Travelmate models to make a truly outstanding laptop. A 14" or 15.6" 1080p screen would be fantastic and only increase the price $100 or so.
@joefresco
Everyone needs to. Somehow 1366x768 has become the standard resolution for everything for 11" to 17" screens and it makes me want to cry.
On the other hand, Apple still isn't capable of showing some i5 or i7 MacBook Pro's, MB Air with more than 2 GB - I can't believe it either but 2 it is - RAM .. , .... list goes on and on and on ..
@user0938 (not that I would buy one; just saying)
A built in TV tuner would be nice, especially if the antenna was also built in. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to upgrade there will be a model I want with it.
So I guess the 3935 didn't go to absolute waste I bought one in the month they were actually on sale in the US, as it was their best 13" laptop last year IMO, it lives on as a TimeLine 13 incher (totally stripped of all its glitz of course) but its nice to see as that was a really good laptop.
Why do people still put off-center touchpads. They're disgusting.
Note to photographer:
When taking pics of products (laptop in here), you need to take a pic of EVERY side of the unit!
