Finally, Acer announces the latest Aspire Timeline Series of laptops. I was given a sneak preview earlier this week. And I must say that Acer has gotten onto the right track. This is especially so as Acer Singapore has packed a very high end configurations into this series. Press Release after the break.
Press Release
Acer presents the all-new Aspire Timeline series
light.as.your.time.can.be
The new Acer Aspire Timeline series mark the beginning of a new era in mobile computing,
where users stay connected and enjoy entertainment with their notebooks for a longer time.
With the new Aspire Timeline series, Acer reached a delicate equilibrium between computer
lightness and battery life, creating a series of featherweight notebooks that give you an
entire day of computing on a single charge.
Long lasting battery life for all day computing
Acer based the new Aspire Timeline notebooks on a simple yet revolutionary idea: a series
of ultra thin and light notebooks which are more efficient, reducing energy consumption to
the minimum for maximum usage time. The result is a notebook as light as 1.6kg, and with
more than eight hours battery life, so that important tasks will not be interrupted by a loss of
power.
In addition, with the Acer Smart Power key, battery life can be further extended through
advanced settings. Press the Smart Power key to boost power saving capabilities and
extend battery life, thus expanding the time of computing freedom to more than 8 hours.
Acer Comfy Touch Technology – An innovation with Intel Laminar Wall Jet
Technology
Besides enhancing battery life, Acer is dedicated to improve user experience with the Acer
Aspire Timeline by developing a cooling technology in collaboration with Intel – Laminar Wall
Jet Technology. It exploits the technology that has been used successfully for cooling turbine
blades. Through the addition of louvers to the inlet vents, the cooling airflow is redirected
along the bottom side of the notebook chassis, putting fresh air precisely where it’s needed
to better cool the skin. The result of Acer Comfy Touch technology – thermal comfort of
close to 6 degrees lower than the user’s skin temperature.
Ultra Thin and Lightweight
Through designing the Aspire Timeline, Acer broke another barrier by creating the finest and
lightest notebooks to provide all-day computing. The Aspire timeline is 24mm (less than one
inch) at its thinnest point. All thanks to the aluminum cover, it remains featherweight, ranging
from 1.6 kg for the 13.3” model up to just 1.9 kg for the 14”, making it both lighter and easier
to carry around than anything else.
Go Eco-friendly with energy efficient components
The Aspire Timeline Series complies with the strictest Energy Star 5.0 prerequisites, with the
notebook being efficient even when using the power adapter. Acer Power Smart adapter
does even more, as it consumes 66% less than required by Energy StarPlus, the Power
Smart adapter enters adaptive charging mode automatically when the battery is fully
charged this stops consuming energy and reduces the tear and wear on the battery.
High Definition Enjoyment
Available in two form factors, 13.3” and 14”, presenting
bright, lifelike images through Acer CineCrystal™ LED backlit
display with true 16:9 aspect ratio, 1366X768 HD resolution
for exceptional media playback. To let users enjoy a fully
immersive entertainment, the Aspire Timeline series is
equipped with Dolby® Sound Room® that offers a spectacular surround sound from any pair
of speakers or headphones.
Data freedom
Harnessing the latest Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Ultra Low Voltage solutions, the Aspire
Timeline series comes with integrated Intel Graphics and is equipped with DDR3 system
memory to breeze through multitasking requirements. Ample storage is provided by an HDD
with up to 500 GB of capacity. Born to offer ultra-mobility and total freedom, the Aspire
Timeline Series comes with the most up to date communication options: built-in Wi-Fi®
functionalities, supporting Acer SignalUp™, allowing full connectivity for unprecedented
mobility. The Acer Crystal Eye webcam with enhanced Acer PrimaLite™ technology delivers
superior video performance on the Aspire one for video conferencing. higher-quality images,
smoother video streaming performance are delivered with better frames-per-second (FPS)
rate.
Effortless Backup
For a total ease of mind, Acer Backup Solution, combining Acer Backup Manager and Easy
Launch Back up key, places back up at your fingertips. Acer Backup Manger offers flexible
management, allowing efficient and hassle free data back up. Data backup can be
scheduled at specific intervals with compression of files across different media types such as
external hard disk drives, USB medias or optical discs. The data backup solution also boasts
more security enhancement: a password can be added to protect user.
With the Acer Timeline notebooks the limits of space and time become blurred taking you in
a dimension where you are the master of your time.
