Overall the Acer Timeline 3810T is a noteworthy notebook (pun intended) if you are looking for an ultraportable model with marathon-like battery life. Sure, you’ll not be getting an ultra-fast notebook (although it looks like it is) for heavy image- and video-editing or gaming but it’s a solid performer for all your office productivity and general entertainment needs.

We won't mince words: the Timeline 3810T is not a powerful laptop. With its 1.4GHz processor it plodded through our benchmarks, undershooting most you'll find at this price, with a score of 0.77. If you're looking for high-performance computing, you should look elsewhere. It isn't powerful, but its portability, looks and battery life make this laptop a great buy.

Acer Timeline AS3810T-6145 13.3-inch Ultraportable Laptop PC Acer's Timeline 3810T is the smallest of their new CULV based Intel products. The system is larger than a netbook but provides a fair amount more in terms of performance and features while still providing very strong battery life. Similar to a netbook, it lacks an optical drive but this isn't too much of a problem for those looking for a solid highly portable laptop to be used for all day computing. Of course, the $900 price is higher than a netbook but still quite affordable for an ultraportable.

Acer's Aspire 3810T runs and runs and runs. The Aspire 3810T is the second laptop we've seen from Acer's Timeline series. As with the Aspire 4810T, it features a compact and slim design and provides all-day battery life. It's difficult not to be impressed by the Aspire 3810T. It has faults – with poor office performance being the main issue – meaning you need to decide whether the extended battery life makes up for this. It's one of the few laptops to offer true all-day usability, however.

The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T managed to impress us with its 5-hour-plus battery life in our rigorous test. Add in the decent industrial design, light weight and reasonable (at least compared with other slim 12- and 13-inch laptops) performance, and it all adds up to a compelling 13-inch alternative. Note that Apple's basic 13-inch MacBook offers similar battery life for around only £70 more, and also includes an optical drive. That system weighs more, however, and has less RAM and a smaller hard drive.

The Acer Aspire 3810T, aka the Acer Timeline, has two things going for it: this model is one of the first laptops out the gate to use an Intel CULV processor (in this case, the 1.4GHz U9400). The 3810T also has a sharp style that's sure to grab attention. The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T is a handsome-looking portable masquerading as something more powerful than it truly is - and that could be a bit of a problem for this slightly oversized netbook. The large, comfortable keys and the 13.3in screen could lull you into thinking that this portable is mighty. It is, by netbook standards - but that's about it. That said, the Timeline is a pretty solid deal, and a decent-looking machine.

Acer’s Timeline range of notebooks spans the gamut from 13.3-inch ULV ultraportable to 15.6-inch mainstream laptop, promising prolonged battery life with an affordable price tag. The company sent over their Aspire Timeline 3810T, a 13.3-inch 1.4GHz ULV machine with heady runtime estimates and an $899 sticker, for SlashGear to try out; check out the full review after the cut. As with all of these ULV ultraportables, the Timeline 3810T hovers in-between CULV netbooks and full-sized notebooks, and it’s arguable whether you’re getting significant functionality over the cheaper models. Still, for its highly usable keyboard and sturdy build, the Timeline 3810T does at least feel as though you’re getting something solid for your money.

Although more expensive than other Acer offerings, the Aspire 3810T is a great choice for portable workers. Stylish, well made and highly mobile, with that fantastic battery life, there’s a lot to like here. It’s worth trying before you buy, however, as the sluggish performance and distinctive keyboard won’t suit everybody.

Acer's new Timeline series of laptops, including the 13-inch Aspire 3810T, aims to combine the thin, sexy designs of more expensive laptops with cost-saving, low-power processors. But that's a direction many PC makers are moving in, thanks to budget-friendly CPUs such as the AMD Neo and Intel CULV family, so Acer needed a bigger hook, such as the Timeline's claims of all-day, 8-hour computing. The 13-inch Aspire Timeline 3810T largely lives up to its lofty battery claims, while keeping the chassis slim and the price down.

The Acer Aspire AS3810T (6415) ($900 street) isn't the first to sport a metallic chassis or the increasingly popular "chiclet" keyboard, but it may well be the new recipe for ultra-thin laptops. The AS3810T is part of Acer's new Timeline series, ushering in the value proposition that was uncommon in sleek ultraportables until now. The Aspire AS3810T (6415), Acer's new ultraportable, won't win any speed races and doesn't have an optical drive, but you get over 8 hours of battery life for just $900.

Lightweight design. Eight hours of battery life. Good-enough performance. What else would you want from a budget ultraportable? As long as you don’t need an optical drive, we highly recommend the Timeline 3810T. In an increasingly crowded 13-inch notebook category, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T stands out, thanks to the combination of its low $899 price tag and astounding eight-plus hours of battery life. We like it even more than the $899 MSI X340, which, while lighter, doesn’t perform as well and has a less sturdy keyboard. Of course, we’d never hesitate to recommend the $999 entry-level MacBook (whose specs have just been refreshed), which will surely offer more power; however, that machine is heavier, and it won’t match the Timeline’s endurance. In fact, we think the Timeline’s biggest competition is the $899 Aspire 3935, which sports an optical drive, and a more luxurious design, but has only a little more than 4 hours of battery life. Either way, you can’t lose.

Designed to deliver increased battery life at a price point for ultraportables that’s rarely seen, Acer’s new Aspire Timeline AS3810T-6415 ($899.99) delivers on both counts, but not without a few sacrifices. The Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810T delivers great battery life in a lightweight 13-inch chassis, and it’s reasonably priced. However, it comes up short in terms of features and performance.

The Acer Aspire 3810T is a thin-and-light laptop designed to offer a long battery life through greater energy efficiency. While it may not quite live up to Acer's claims of eight or nine hours of use, the system is nevertheless well designed and should prove a useful tool for mobile workers. Acer's Aspire Timeline 3810T does not quite live up to the all-day battery life claimed for it, but even 5 hours is not to be sniffed at. The system is also reasonably priced for a thin-and-light model and stylish enough that even an executive would not be ashamed to carry one.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
SU9400:
Power efficient low voltage processor based on the Penryn 3M core that features all Penryn functions like Virtualization and Trusted Execution.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.
Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility.
