Conclusion

Acer is a major player, and you often see quality decline when companies grow too large. This is far from the case here; Acer have once again delivered a sublime product that fits well into a great series, TimelineX.

It has a lot of advantages. They have updated the design and made it darker, more elegant and stylish, which allows it to appeal not just to professionals but indeed a wider user group. It is thin and the weight is attractive, so there is no doubt a lot of focus is on mobility. It is also filled with the newest hardware, making it an attractive partner for business trips. The new Core i5 processor is a great addition and will allow a doubling of performance compared to a standard Duo Core CPU.

As it is a laptop after all, it is nice to see the focus on mobility. The icing on the cake is that it can do a lot more than simple surfing and word processing. The discrete GPU ensures you can indulge in some light gaming, or other graphics-intensive tasks. What we have here is thus a fantastic all-round device.

The price is perhaps a bit steep, but the product is well worth it. Of course “steep” is a relative term, but this is not a budget product.

You quickly forgive Acer for once again integrating the touchpad buttons into a single bar, which is about the only thing you can criticise here. If you are after a professional device for an intensive workday, this is definitely one of the heavyweights in the segment and you have to commend Acer for once again showing why they are one of the largest and most popular players in the industry.
