Troll as the first commenter?? This can't be good for the topic.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-timeline-x-laptops-arrive-stateside-sans-ulv-process/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-timeline-x-laptops-arrive-stateside-sans-ulv-process/
I don't think it's an MBP killer (not a mac fan or a fan of any vendor -- just to point this out to people that might label me a 'fanboi'), but I do think it's one of the more attractive laptops out there. It's thin and decently spec'd.

Based on a review of the 3820TG, it seems that the display (low-contrast @ 1366x768) and battery life (~6.5 hours idle, 1.75 hours max load w/ 6-cell 6200mAh), may leave something to be desired.

If the 3820T is similar to the TG, then it is very nice, but far from perfect. With a better display and better battery, this could be a killer computer for spec whores looking to have it all: looks, performance, and weight.

FWIW: Review of the 3820TG:

GOOD LORD! There's a forum on notebookreview called the 'TimelineX 3820TG Owners lounge'. Anyway the performance of these laptops is INSANE (w/ Radeon 5650).

One user gets a 9117 3Dmark06 score! Granted, the graphics card was overclocked, but this is still impressive (~7397 stock!).

But i bought the Aspire 5820T (here in denmark) with Core I5 last week that replaced my 3 year old Macbook pro and i havent regret even once since i got it. It really really fast and plays game really well also.

And it almost doesnt get hot even when you play games on it...

All packed super thin.

I LOVE IT!!

well only thing that sucks is that glossy frame that just seem to attract all dust in my neighborhood.

The greatest thing about timeline is that it is light, portable, outstanding battery life and a lot more without sacrificing the optical drive. I was pretty skeptical about the battery life which stated 9 hrs, but I have watched movies, granted at 0% (??) screen brightness which is still very bright, for upto 6hrs on a single charge, while downloading on wi-fi. I could not play 1080p on that model due to the single core culv, but if they could keep the battery life and put that i3 and radeon, it would make for a very nice portable laptop.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-timeline-x-laptops-arrive-stateside-sans-ulv-process/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/acer-aspire-timeline-x-laptops-arrive-stateside-sans-ulv-process/MBP's hardware is not the one to be envied at all!
