Acer Aspire Timeline AS5810TZ: All-Day Performance

Enjoy the freedom to roam all day long with the full-sized Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TZ featuring a 15.6-inch HD LED-backlit display. Averaging more than 8 hours of battery life, you'll be able to remain productive as you work remotely from 9 to 5 without ever stopping to plug in and recharge, or keep yourself entertained throughout an entire coast–to-coast flight without worrying whether you'll make it to the end of your movie.

At its slimmest point, the Acer Timeline measures less than 1 inch thin and the AS5810 weighs just 5.3 pounds.

Averaging more than 8 hours of battery life, the Acer Timeline sets a new standard for value, mobility and productivity (see a larger schematic of all ports).

The thin and light Timeline 5810 (model AS5810TZ-4433) is made for modern mobile work and play with its 5.3-pound weight and thin measurements--less than one-inch thin at its slimmest point and just over an inch at its thickest. The high-definition, 15.6-inch CineCrystal LED backlit widescreen display (16:9 ratio) offers 33 percent more energy savings than traditional notebook screens. And unlike other smaller Acer Timeline models (such as the 1810 and 3810), the 5810 includes a dual-layer DVD burner (that also writes CDs).

A Multi-Gesture Touchpad enables you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as intuitive navigation of websites. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows you to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. An integrated Acer Crystal Eye webcam delivers smooth video streaming and high quality images for online chats and business video conferences, even in low-light situations.

Providing an elegant, high-tech design, a stylish brushed aluminum finish provides solid protection to the display and internal components, and the system is also lead- and mercury-free--making it easier to recycle. In addition, Acer has incorporated Intel's Laminar Wall Jet technology for the first time, directing air flow in parallel layers, to keep the notebook significantly cooler.

Pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (64-bit version), you'll be able to easily create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. Windows 7 is the easiest, fastest, and most engaging version of Windows yet. Better ways to find and manage files, like Jump Lists and improved taskbar previews, help you speed through everyday tasks. Windows 7 is designed for faster and more reliable performance, so your PC just works the way you want it to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Initial impression, January 28, 2010

This review is from: Acer Aspire Timeline AS5810TZ-4433 15.6-Inch HD Display Aluminum Laptop - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Personal Computers)

This is an initial review of this product. The features that attracted me to it are 4GB RAM, a 320GB HDD, its lightweight (5.3 lb), and a 15.6 in. screen. The external brushed aluminum finish on this machine gives it a classy, upscale look. I was somewhat leery about the glossy screen but after using it I found its level of reflectivity to be acceptable...of course that could be different for other users. I believe what helps with this Acer unit is that the screen's bezel is matte finished which tones down the overall mirror effect. In addition the brushed aluminum finish of the keyboard surround also helps. While on the subject of the keyboard I have two negatives: the keys are glossy and very "slippery" and they are very flat. These two attributes make typing a bit difficult. After several hours, however, I had less difficulty with it and mistyping. If the keys were "cupped" I think that their "slipperiness" would be less noticeable.

The LED backlit LCD screen is very crisp and bright which gives it a visual "snappiness" that I like. Even with the power-saving features enabled the screen clarity is excellent. My unit arrived with no dead pixels.

I'm not much of a touch pad fan but I found this one to be an improvement over others I've used. It requires a very light touch and the multi-gesture feature seems to work reasonably well. (I still prefer using a mouse.)

Several CD's were played to test the speakers. While they weren't of "boom box" quality they did provide a sense of surround sound. Given their physical size, I felt their output was of acceptable quality. I've read reviews which criticized the low volume produced even when controls were set at 100%. Granted, you won't get rock concert volume, but the sound was pleasant.

Overall, at this point, I'm pleased with my purchase. As time permits, I'll update this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Update: still working good : Battery lasted almost 7 hours, July 16, 2010

This review is from: Acer Aspire Timeline AS5810TZ-4433 15.6-Inch HD Display Aluminum Laptop - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Personal Computers)

Today it's July 29, and I believe this is a solid computer. Today, the battery lasted 7,5 hours. But this is of course without using the DVD drive to watch movies. I turned it at 8 am and now it's 3.30 PM and have another half an hour or so battery life. This is my first Acer. Until now I've had Apple, Sony, and Toshiba. Acer did not make it regret my purchase --- so far. And so far, I up my rating from 4, to 5 star.

Here is my original review: This is my first day with this laptop, so cannot give it a 5 star rating. It charged fully quickly, also, battery lasted almost 7 hours -- well, over 6,5, and then I plugged it in. Set-up was a breeze, screen is good, keyboard is not bad at all, weight is good, I actually do have to sit for long stretches and it did not feel heavy plus it remained cool in my lap. Overall, for first day, I am pleased with the purchase, let's hope I will keep this favorable opinion! So far, yes, I would recommend this laptop.

This review is from: Acer Aspire Timeline AS5810TZ-4433 15.6-Inch HD Display Aluminum Laptop - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Personal Computers)

I was looking far a laptop that would give me a quicker response than my Compaq with 1GB of ram. I was told that Windows 7 needed at least a 3GB to operate correctly and this laptop does it all. It also has the Crystal eye camera built in and my old DELL and Compaq had problems receiving the house wireless signal from one end of the house to the other. This computer not only received the signal strong but continues to operate at real-time speed. I am impressed with the long battery life . Its light weight and i take it everywhere now .
