Reviews for the Acer Aspire 3830T-6417

Acer's Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6417 continues the companies trend of affordable ultraportable laptops. With street pricing of around $600, it is one of the least expensive 13-inch models on the market. It isn't going to be as thin as the ultrathin laptops but it does offer a solid mix of features to make it a solid primary computer for someone looking at a compact system.

The Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6417 is a very good laptop for the average user who wants a fast portable with the latest technologies. We found it a little bit heavy for an “ultra thin” model, but users who are used to carrying a brick in their backpacks will certainly think the weight of this new model is fair.

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.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
