Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 review

The Aspire Timeline Ultra delivers great performance in a svelte package, but a low-res display and cheap build materials keep it from being a lust-worthy laptop

Thin and lightweightGreat gaming performance Super fast boot times

Low-rent build materialsShoddy screenLackluster audio capabilities

Acer’s Timeline M3 Review: Laptop Could’ve Been a Contender

The Acer Timeline M3 is a study in polar opposites. Its thin, elegant chassis and superb performance for its class suggest that the M3 might be a true category leader, but an painfully poor LCD panel prevents the Acer from achieving that goal.

Sleek, thin, and elegant looking ; Above-average gaming performance ; Trackpad is overly sensitive

Very poor overall display quality

The Timeline M3 could have been a Macbook killer, if not for the poor LCD panel.

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG review

What is an ultrabook? Intel has a pretty loose definition: as long as your laptop is less than 0.8 inches thin, has five hours of battery life, rapidly wakes from sleep, and has a second-generation...

Potent gaming performance ; Good battery life ; Matte external surfaces ; Full-size ports

Poor ergonomic design ; Materials feel cheap ; Ugly, low-res screen ; Terrible speakers

Probably not the laptop for you, but that really depends on price

Review Acer Aspire TimelineU M3-581PTG Ultrabook

Evolutionary. Acer takes a new approach to the familiar Ultrabook

Long battery life; High program performance; Fast graphics card; Optical drive; Touchscreen

Single USB 3.0; Disappointing TN panel; High temperature emissions at full load; Constantly running cooler fan; Workmanship flaws on our test model

Other Ultrabooks with a touchscreen: Asus VivoBook S400CA, HP SpectreXT Touchsmart 15 or Sony Vaio SV-T1511M1E/S. If you do not need a touchscreen, then the Lenovo IdeaPad U510 is an option.

Review Acer Aspire M3-481 Ultrabook

Stylish marathon runner. Acer has an ultra-thin 14-inch notebook

Very good battery life; Cheap price; Good running performance; Runs almost silently; Low Volume; Good quality built

Low-contrast screen; No openings for maintenance

Such good battery life in a notebook under 500 Euros is very rare.

Review Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG Ultrabook

Kepler's Debut. "Ultrabook XL" is one way of describing the Acer

Very good graphics performance; Fast SSD and thus very good application performance; Good battery life thanks to Optimus

Poor display; Touchpad without dedicated buttons; Hot under load

The currently available 13-inch Ultrabooks and the rather light 15"-inch multimedia devices like the expensive MacBook Pro 15 can't compete.

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 Review: A True 15-inch Ultrabook

A major complaint about ultrabooks is that they don't really deliver premium performance. Acer hopes to change that with the first 15-inch ultrabook with high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 640M graphics inside. Keep reading to find out more.

Unbelievable graphics performance ; Thin and light yet well built ; Good keyboard and large touchpad

Bad location for power button ; All ports are in back ; Nasty hot spot on the bottom ; If you are in the market for an ultrabook with a large screen, excellent video editing and gaming performance, and a premium fit and finish then the Acer Aspire...

If you are in the market for an ultrabook with a large screen, excellent video editing and gaming performance, and a premium fit and finish then the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 deserves serious consideration.

Acer Timeline M3 Review

WHEN LOOKING FOR a tagline that will easily sell a boatload of Acer Timeline M3 notebooks, it doesn't take much more than: “an ultrabook that will play Battlefield 3 on Ultra setting.” And it's true, too. The Timeline M3 will indeed play BF3 on Ultra,...

Powerful graphics in a thin package; loaded

Mediocre panel; width pushes the boundaries of ultrabook portability

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 Review

The Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 is an ultrabook while the Aspire V5 isn't, but both have very similar form factors. The M3 offers very good system and graphics performance, as well as better battery life. You pay around Rs. 9,000 more than the Aspire...

Zippy system performance, Impressive graphics capabilities, Good battery life

Looks are not as premium as they should be, Display hinge and panel is not very solid
