Looks like a very nice machine for the price although I think it looks better in pictures than it does 'in the flesh' in your video. It looks ideal for those who spend a lot of time away from the office thanks to the battery life. As for the price, at least Acer have been realistic!!

Our photographer will no doubt be pleased to hear that!





You're right, though, and when Ardjuna was referring to "the office" believing it be a tad boring/conservative, he was mainly referring to me. Still, you can't argue with the battery life, it's astounding.

The hands-on article for the Timeline series mentioned a model with switchable HD4330 graphics available. Any idea when said model will be available for purchase?





This might just be the one for me. ^_^

I love this laptop. I need a new laptop few university and was about to turn in for a macbook. However I still prefer windows as I have become accustomed to it so it's great to see laptops of a similar form factor (THE THINNESS!!). If acer added the nvidia 9400m would it decrease the battery life significantly?

@Ohmz:


Yep, I'm sure many people would, but there is still a considerable price and size differential. The 13.3in Timeline may remedy both of these issues - hopefully we'll get to review one soon.





@Lewis Liu:


Models using switchable HD4330 graphics should be coming down the line, but for now we're stuck with good old GMA4500HD.


And indeed, the Timelines are rather tempting...





@Alvin:


As Lewis Liu mentioned, there might be an update at some stage with switchable discrete graphics, meaning battery life shouldn't be affected as long as you used the Intel chipset.

Will the Laptop still ship with the 1.6ghz processor and the HD4330 in the future? Those specs, combined with the 14" Chassis and all day battery will make this the laptop to have for a student.

Where would be the best place to buy this laptop? Are there any offers going on or a planned price drop? Would it be better to wait until it is released with windows 7? Thank you Ardjuna for the clarification on the graphics coming down the line.

I write this one hour after having purchased the Acer 8410t at Office Depot in Athens, GA for $549.00 (no tax...this is the last day of our "back to school" tax holiday). This is the NTBKAS4810T-8480, 14". This version ships with 4GB RAM and Vista Home Premium. The Office Depot sale is good thru Sat., August 8.
