Code, Write, watch media.,
Brilliant buy for my needs. Long battery life in Windows, sometimes saying 10hrs left when was typing in lyx. Slick design, fingers find keys easily for typing.
Dual-Booted: Installed Kubuntu 11.10 and runs flawlessly (just need small edit to get screen brightness to work) but with about 60-70% of the battery life it gets in windows (Win7 power management much better) but still getting >5hrs battery life depending on usage.
Running python image analysis scripts as quick, if not quicker that on my Core 2 Quad on my desktop.
Screen looks fantastic and the 1366×768 (I reckon) is brilliant as still can show a lot on the screen if using for coding and image displays.
The sound is excellent and makes watching series etc. fantastic, especially helps having the 16:9 aspect ratio on the screen for most movies. Means picture not really smaller than a 15inch screen.
Is only 3 weeks ancient now but reckon it will last me sometime.

|Awesome!,
This is my 2nd Acer laptop buy in a few months from the TimelineX Series. This thing is light, powerful, and the battery lasts 6-10 hours depending on use. Just a note: doesn’t have a CD drive. This is fine because I don’t need it and it makes it lighter. When compared to a similar Macbook pro (exact same specs and $500+ more), this thing is awesome. Other than the pre-installed bloatware (took about 2 hours to remove), I have no complaints.

|Excellent balance of performance, style and price.,
I own a 2008 non unibody 15″ Macbook Pro and I wanted a second laptop for Windows support. This laptop fits my needs.
First of all, I’ll list some of the things I didn’t like about the laptop –
- The screen lid is heavy, so if you tried to lift/open the screen with just one hand the whole laptop lifts up. Thus, to turn on the laptop or wake up from sleep, I have to use two hands.
- Lame branding. On the lid, there’s the acer logo in the middle which is fantastic, but on the top right there’s some logo for SignalUp (acer technology branding) that could have been omitted. It’s not a sticker you can remove. Also the speakers have the words Dolby Theater and Professionally Tuned. Excellent to know a professional tuned the speakers, but it distracts from the overall aesthetics of the laptop.
- Not a backlit keyboard. Not a deal breaker but nice to have, considering it’s just a $20 add-on on Dell laptops.
- Glossy screen. Not a huge fan, and the viewing angles aren’t as a excellent as a current Macbook Pro.
- Bloatware, yeah it’s there and it’s annoying. Took a while to uninstall.
- No light to indicate camera is on. It’s trivial, but how would I know someone isn’t secretly taping me?
Positives +
+ The trackpad on Macs are superior but I was surprised to find the trackpad on this Acer to work pretty well. Two finger scroll is mainly what I like and used to. It also supports Chrome two finger scroll horizontally to go back/forward. The downside is that trackpad area is honestly tiny and at times I would accidentally make a pinching gesture and it would increase/decrease the font on the website I’m on.
+ USB 3.0 and HDMI input. Currently, no Apple laptop supports USB 3.0 and to get HDMI out you have to buy and carry around a dongle.
+ Looks honestly excellent, seems solidly built 4lbs, not too thick – blue color, not black or the same ancient aluminum color.
+ Screen is generally excellent, producing vivid colors despite the glossiness. As long as you view it at the right angle, the screen looks sharp.
+ Battery life…very excellent. I played 2 720p MKV movies at full brightness and it lasted nearly 4 and a half hours. So I can see it going 8 hours for light web/document editing use. Battery is built-in, so it’s not easily swappable.
Lastly, price…fantastic price for a second generation i5 processor, 4GB RAM and 500gb hard drive. I don’t play any PC games so I can’t comment on it’s graphics power. I use Picassa to edit photos and it’s pretty snappy with other apps opened (Chrome, Outlook 2010, Visual Studio). I also do not need an optical drive.
So to sum it up – the laptop looks excellent (not a thick heavy hideous piece of plastic), excellent performance and excellent price (half the price of a 13″ macbook pro). I do like OS X Lion but I feel Windows 7 has bridged the gap. There are +/- to the various operating systems, but for the most part it comes down to preferences and software that you need to get a job done. In this case, I need Outlook 2010 (Outlook 2011 for Mac is still not up to par, and Visual Studio for coding). Highly recommended!
