Pulling the 14-inch Acer TimelineX 4820T from its box, one thing went through our mind: this could be the perfect thin and light laptop. The $717 system is abo...

The Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820TG-7805 laptop checks off all the right boxes—slim, stylish, efficient, and powerful.
Lightweight. Slim construction. Great battery life. Strong internal components don't sacrifice performance for long life.
Glossy display reflects.

Expert review by : Christopher Null (wired.com)
Acer has long been the go-to bargain laptop. But what happens when the price gets high and performance stays flat?
Bright screen, though clarity is a bit muddy. Lightweight for its category. Good for gaming
A little pricey for an Acer. Acceptable yet uninspired performance. System likes to override Windows power settings without asking. Keyboard travel too short

Radeon Update. Acer equips the luxury version of its TimelineX wi
Good 3D performance for 14"; Strong application performance; SSD 160 GB; Low system noise; Low waste heat; Low power consumption; Good battery runtimes
TFT is reflective; TFT too dark for outdoors; Poor viewing angles; Few interfaces; Long battery recharge time; Poor keyboard feedback
Acer TimelineX 3820TG: now also with HD 6550M; TimelineX 5820TG: same looks in 15.6 inches, Nvidia alternatives. Asus N53SV: similarly strong gaming performance (GT 540M) and the latest Sandy Bridge processor; Samsung RF510-SO2DE: less 3D, but better...

That significant eXtra. Acers new 14 inch high-class performer is
Pleasant design; Compact and light case; High-quality surface; Comfortable touchpad; Long battery life; Good performance with programs and games; Good display brightness
Clearly audible when under heavy usage; Keyboard gives way under pressure; Display bordering can be dirtied easily; Glossy display results in modest viewing angles; High black value and disappointing contrast; Poor sound quality; Poor placement of...
Still, for those users who want a balanced performance, mobility, good battery life should consider the investment of 900 euros for the purchase of the Aspire 4820TG.

The Acer Timeline X 4820TG may be as slim as its Intel CULV platform predecessor, but it certainly packs a hefty punch with the new Intel Core i7 processor. How good of a punch? Let's find out, shall we?
Powerful performance in a slim form factorAffordable for its specifications

Expert review by : Andy Vandervell (trustedreviews.com)
An Intel Core i5 processor and switchable graphics power this 14-inch laptop to five hours battery life.
Very powerful ; Metal-finished lid ; Switchable graphics
Poor build quality ; Graphics switching complicated ; No eSATA
For wired connectivity you get a generous four USB ports, but none of them support eSATA or standby charging. These are joined by HDMI and VGA for video, a Gigabit Ethernet port, two audio jacks (1x microphone, 1x headphone/SPDIF) and a memory card...
