ZDNet: New Acer Laptops Include Hot Ultraportable
The TimelineX 1830T-68U118 has an 11.6-inch LED-backlit display and is priced at $899.99, but can’t deliver the performance of a full-size i7 computer.
“In addition to rolling out new Aspire multimedia notebooks (see my previous post), Acer has just announced an expansion of its svelte TimelineX laptop line, with the smallest one including the new Intel Core i7-680UM ultra-low voltage processor.
The TimelineX 1830T-68U118 weighs a little over 3 pounds, packs an 11.6-inch LED-backlit display, and is priced at just $899.99. Of course, the ULV version of the Core i7 can’t keep up with a conventional laptop i7, but it does include Turbo Boost and four cores, bringing potentially new performance gains in a ultralight notebook. You can also score an 1830T with a Core i3 or i5 ULV for a couple hundred dollars less. All include 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, and HDMI output.”
