I first bought an Acer 11.6″ laptop with SU3500 Intel processor. That unit was ridiculously fast but I found it to be a bit small for my taste. I researched around and landed on this Acer 13.3″ laptop and boy, am I happy I bought this one. It has a bit faster SU4100 Processor and huge 4GB of RAM. I get almost 8 hours of continuous usage on one battery charge.
At 3.5 lbs and only 1 inch thick, this is just the right size for someone on the go. Windows take a snappy 58 seconds to load when you first hit that power button. Only one thing that I don’t care about is the glossy flat keys. I am getting used to it, however.
Metal finish is gorgeous. The whole unit feels totally solid. LCD screen is one of the best in the business. I considered getting a comparable HP but it was 0.75 lbs heavier for $50 more and Apple at $2000 is just a plain absurd idea.
You cannot go wrong with this machine.

I bought this to replace my old 12.1″ Averatec. Installing Ubuntu 9.10 is pretty easy. The only thing does not work right after installation was wi-fi. Just need to connect through ethernet to download wi-fi driver. Everything works fine after that.
This laptop does not have bluetooth. I inserted my old USB IOGEAR dongle. It works just fine. It paired with my Motorola cell phone and IOGEAR bluetooth mouse without issue. I was able to browse files on cell phones.
The only complaint I have will be the hissing sound. It’s pretty low volume but I can hear it. I can hear fan if AC was plug in. It ends up I intentionally unplug AC while I am using it even the AC is readily available.
The battery lasts a long time. Battery lasts about 7 hours in regular use. It lasts about 4 hours if I am constantly watching youtube. Video watching is pretty smooth, no performance issue.

This is a fantastic little machine that will blow you away when you see it in person.
Pros:
1. Extremely thin and light
2. No optical drive (to me, this is a pro, others not)
3. Easy to use, quiet keyboard
4. Amazing battery life
5. 4GB DDR3 RAM and expandable to 8GB
6. Windows 7
7. Minimal bloatware
8. Strong wifi reception (also, wifi-n)
9. HDMI Out
10. Nice touch pad with multi gesture and multi touch
Cons:
1. No bluetooth
2. Keyboard can feel a little ‘plastic-y’
3. Speakers are a little weak
Overall, this laptop has really impressed me. If you are looking for that middle ground between netbooks and full fledged notebooks, this (or a similar Timeline model) is right for you.
The overall feel of the laptop is very impressive. The aluminum case makes the machine feel very sturdy while also being very light.
The keyboard is a pleasure to type on, even though sometimes it feels a little plastic-y and slightly flimsy.
Booting this machine up for the first time was also a pleasure. Windows 7 guides you through a few setup steps and you’re set. It even helps you set up your initial wifi connection, which worked immediately.

I’ve been using my 3810tz since July ‘09. It really is a nice laptop. Great size, decent performance.
However, the laptop has been recalled because of an overheating risk due to a manufacturer’s defect.
With Acer, I get the privilege of paying for my own packing materials to ship something I depend on for work and school for 7-10 days. When I called Acer Support to handle the repair, I asked if there was someone to complain to about how the recall was handled (a voucher for packing material and something else to show that they understand that their mistake is costing me at least a week of work).
Some companies with bad service will at least listen to your complaints before ignoring them.
Acer won’t even listen.

I have used and worked on hundreds of laptops. This is one of the top 5 laptops I’ve used. It is very elegant and well designed.
Very light, thin, sturdy and great battery life (as advertised). Battery life depends also on how you use the laptop, brightness settings on the LCD is a big factor.
It has is a full size keyboard. Gorgeous screen. The botton on the mousepad to disable accidental touching while typing is a nice touch.
To preserve battery life obviously Acer can’t put the fastest and greatest processor. The speed of the laptop is more than sufficient to power and run most programs. Bottom line this is a great buy for the price and features that you get. If you plan on editing photos or videos, then you probably better of with something with bigger screen.
I thought this was more elegant than the Asus counterpart.
