About the Acer Timeline X AS5830TG-2414G75MNBB - (Price $1,085.00)
This slender and light allrounder is built better than most, and it costs less as well.
Being slender is always admirable for a notebook, and for $1,085 the well-built aluminium covered Acer Timeline X AS5830TG-2414G75MNBB (LX.RHQ02.017) is a reasonable buy for those that aren't happy with the plastic covered alternatives.
A Intel Core i5-2410M (2.3GHz) processor is decently fast though, and together with 4GB of RAM you’ll be able to run several demanding programs at once with none of them slowing down. An NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics card can handle newer games like StarCraft 2 at low settings.
One standout is the 750GB hard disk drive, which is impressive for a notebook with a thickness of 31.3mm. A 15.6in (1,366x768 resolution) screen will be fine for videos, light gaming or productivity applications. Although the 2.49kg weight of the AS5830TG is rather low, ultimately the specs still blunt its competitive edge.
This notebook is very good in terms of its balance of specifications and price. It's a strong contender though there may still be better notebooks in this category.
