Acer Aspire Timeline X 5830T review

Acer's Timeline small business laptops mix both business and pleasure; you get a good quality, if a little basic, machine for not much cash. The latest 15-inch model adds good looks to the mix, along with a Sandy Bridge Core i3 processor and plenty of...

Good looking blue laptop, plenty of memory, good battery life

Too much bundled software, sealed battery, small touchpad, no discrete graphics

A likeable all-rounder, with good looks as well

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830T

A 15.6in laptop with "all-day" battery life and more angles than a conman.

Great battery life ; Solid build ; Comfy keyboard layout

Acquired taste" design ; More power available at same price

A mostly solid-feeling body and great battery life make this 15.6in laptop a good choice if you're going to spend a lot of time working with it both at the desk and out and about. It doesn't perform well with games thanks to its lowly integrated...

Acer Aspire Timeline X 5830T review

The Acer Aspire Timeline X may not have the raw power of other laptops, but it still offers good performance in an attractive and sturdy body.

Acer Timeline X 5830T

Review Acer has ploughed itself a nice furrow over the last few years, building nice-looking, well-made laptops. The 5830T might lack the instant recognition and wow-factor of the Apple MacBook Pro [1], but there's no arguing that it's a nice-looking...

This is a decent system from Acer. It compromises on computational welly, but offers more than enough memory to keep things running smoothly. The only people who won’t be wholly enamoured with it are likely to be serious power users - it’s not...

Acer Aspire Timeline 5830T

The best laptop I've ever had. Very simple to set up new from the box; no hassles at all. It tells you exactly what to do and it does the rest on its own. Have only had it 24 hours but it's fast & powerful compared to what Ive had in the past, very up...
