And the LED backlight technology is 33 percent more energy efficient than standard CCFL LCD screens. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, which uses shared video memory (providing up to 1700 MB of video memory as allocated by the system memory). This graphics card is built with Intel Clear Video technology, which delivers clearer, more detailed images by eliminating many of the jagged edges and video artifacts seen when viewing interlaced content and features powerful color control to ensure videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out.
Offering the latest in ultra-low voltage processing power, the single-core Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor has a has a power consumption rating of just 5.5 watts and a 1.4 GHz speed that's paired with a fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and extra-large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) Designed for use in ultra-thin laptops to balance the competing needs of high performance with battery consumption, the Core 2 Solo processor delivers enhanced performance for today's demanding applications such as CAD tools, 3D and 2D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming. And Intel's Smart Cache technology enables smarter, more efficient cache and bus design for enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings.

The Timeline family of notebooks also includes a backup button that lets you easily select and protect your irreplaceable digital files through regular scheduled backups or on an as-needed basis. Data can be backed up to an external hard drive, flash card, thumb drive or to a secure hidden partition on their PC.
While most notebooks with long battery life use higher cell batteries which protrude from the back of the notebook, Acer combined numerous low power components with a standard high-capacity 6-cell battery, allowing them to keep the design as small as possible. In addition, a conveniently located PowerSmart button located above the keyboard allows you to easily extend battery life. A simple press of the button activates the advanced power savings settings, traditionally a tedious procedure accessed through numerous software-based steps. This one-button approach simplifies the process. Lastly, an Acer PowerSmart adapter senses when the notebook is unplugged, and stops sending needless energy. It also stops pulling power from the wall outlet when the adapter is full. The PowerSmart adapter saves 1752 watts of energy a year--equivalent to lighting a 15-watt (65W equivalent) light bulb for 116 days.
Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit version) is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi. Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

 EXCELENTE COMPRA... January 1, 2010
Interbanco (south america)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Para los que hablamos español. Esta ACER es la primera que he comprado... siempre he sido usuario de HP ... y esperando una HP que me guste me he topado con esta ACER TIMELINE... el precio excente... me puse a leer las devoluciones de los demas compradores en AMAZON, y me causo un poco de miedo para comprarla ... sin envargo la compre este diciembre ...la maquina es excelente ... fina, liviana , toda de metal, el teclado que tanto se quejaban algunos compradores.. es espectacular todo de metal excelente paraque no entre suciedad me gusta y mucho. El webcam la calidad espectacular. yo solo le he encontrado un solo defecto, bueno no es un defecto sino que para una notebook de esta categoria que no tenga un blutooth incorporado realmente me disgusta.
Lo del consumo de bateria es real... lo de que no calienta es real....
Otra cosa que no me llena... es el sonido de los parlantes ...acostubrado a que mis hp anteriores eran espectaculares... realmente es muy pobre... sin envargo cuando conectas a una salidad digital es realmente excelente..
es decir que si le conectas a un audicular bueno no hay problemas, o si conectas a una salida al LCD o PLASMA con un equipo de sonido suena fenomenal.
Sobre la pantalla ... es realmente de primera calidad porque de donde la mires la imagen es buenisima ... ya no hay problema cuando uno esta usando en el exterior o donde hay mucho sol o luz en exceso que no se puede ver lo que aparece en la pantalla de la compu.. realmente esta nueva tecnologia de pantalla es buenisima.
REALMENTE LES RECOMIENDO ESTA NOTEBOOK ... PRECIO BAJO POR CALIDAD EXCELENTE ... VAN DE LA MANO... ESTOY CONFORME CON SOLO DOS OBSERVACIONES LO DEL SONIDO DE PARLANTES MUY PEQUEÑOS QUE TRAE PERO CON UNA SALIDA DE SONIDO FENOMENAL ...Y LO DEL BLUETOOTH QUE EN ESTA NO ESSTA INCORMPORADO.
 Great Product! and Long battery life! December 18, 2009
HYE
I am really wonder how the review is bad, but in my experience it is really cool. There is no freezing and stuck, instead smooth working and long battery life. Maybe I upgraded it from vista to 7? Possible. Anyhow, I like it.
 Acer timeline December 1, 2009
Chinedu Anuonyeh
Bought this laptop about 4 months ago, at first it worked like a charm; quiet and all. Now, the cooling system makes so much noise, i feel like it's going to explode. i know the cooling system improves the battery life, but why does it have to kill my buzz when i'm using it. my colleagues constantly laugh at the noise it makes, mostly cause i kinda got the laptop for a hell of a deal(i bragged a lot). I've been trying to get acer to finish a 3 week conversation I've been having with them; literally. they said no one else has complained about this problem, so they are looking into it.
So far the best notebook from Acer November 17, 2009

So far this is the best notebook by Acer. The 8 hour battery life attracted me. It sure does last long. The design is sleek and nice. It is light and thin. I recommend that anyone who plans to purchase to opt for the fastest processor. Only thing I regret is that I purchased mine before the release of Windows 7. Mine has Vista but still is an awesome machine.
 Worst Computer I've Ever Owned November 10, 2009
Steve in ClearH20 (FLA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is absolutely the worst computer I've ever owned. I purchased this computer in September and in less than a week it was freezing up and crashing. At this point I was browsing my email and not too much more. I have had lengthy conversations with many people in India who are like robots and only have the one answer they are given on a script sheet and not too much more. I also had to go out and buy an external hard drive to perform a system restore that will wipe out your hard drive. I bought the computer after reading several reviews that raved about customer service and how Acer is the old Gateway and the cust. svc is excellent. On top of the svc people not knowing how to do much of anything you have to go thru the same procedures every time before you get to a new procedure (that doesn't work). It's now November and after fighting with tech support, level 1, 2 and 3 (level 2 and 3 are in America and actually level 3 was the rudest of all people I've dealt with) I have to pay for the shipping to Texas. They will have my computer for 7-10 business days on top of the 3-5 shipping each way. I am now looking at a minimum of 13 business days without my computer which is forever in the business world! So, in sum, I bought the Acer thinking it was the latest and greatest and I've had to spend additional $ because the computer didn't work out of the box for an external, spent hours on the phone with tech support going in circles and now have to spend my money to send it to Texas for them to fix where they swear up and down it will be perfect when I get it back. (because why should it have been perfect out of the box brand new!)
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY ACER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
