Reviews Of Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6417 13.3-Inch Laptop

I bought this laptop to replace my five year old Gateway laptop that was really a monster. I had a hard time choosing between getting another laptop or buying a tablet as a replacement. I'm so glad I bought this laptop! I've had it for a few weeks now and I couldn't be happier. Pros:LightweightFastRelatively quiet (although I'm used to a beast of a fan)Doesn't get terribly hotBattery life is amazing! I get at least 8 hours.Thin, good sizeHDMI out so I can hook it up to my TVIt's blue!Cons:Had to buy an external CD drive to install Office (almost negligible, I could have returned it if I wanted the money back enough)The case absorbs oil from my hands, so there are always marks on the top that I have to wipe off. Annoying, but not damning.Keyboard is oddly shaped, takes some getting used to.Overall, a good buy for someone who doesn't need too much from their computer. I mainly use it for word processing and accessing the internet and it serves me well. Would definitely recommend it to a friend!

For me ideal size laptop with a 13.3 screen weighing in at 4 lbs.Best battery life of any notebook I have owned. I have purchased two of these. The first one had a Synaptics touchpad which is excellent. I ordered the second one 2 months later and it has an Elan touchpad and initially it was notchy and problematic. The fix is to lower the palm check setting and the improvement was significant. Would still prefer the Synaptics but now they are almost the same .The display on the Acer is excellent. Keyboard and sound are also excellent. The unit has a sturdy solid feel considering the weight. I would recommend the 3830T-6417 over the 3830T-6870 because it runs cooler. The 6417 never really gets warm with little sacrifice in speed. The cooling fan is quiet but not silent. It ramps up a little from time to time for no apparent reason. I replaced the original hard drive with an SSD drive which makes a huge difference in a laptop. Notebook hard drives are quite slow in comparison to desktop hard drives.
