The Acer Aspire D260 resembles a sophisticated bag that shines with class wherever you wish to take it. A unique design is applied on the front cover, interior, and on the bottom for a beautiful view from all angles, both inside and outside. To enhance the sleek appearance, the logos are colorful and the power button is transparent to give it a floating effect. You can choose from four colors to match your personality and style: black, gray, purple and pink. You will now be able to work all day, with a single charge! The<strong> Acer pink mini laptop</strong> lets you work, play and stay connected even longer than 8 hours because of its battery, Intel Atom processor and the display LED lighting, which consumes less energy than regular components do inside a bigger unit.

<p>Out of all the laptops on the market, the <strong>Acer laptop computers</strong> are the ones that mostly promote CULV notebooks. The Timeline series of <strong><a href="http://www.laptopsarena.com/page/17/?s=acer">Acer laptop computers</a></strong> is represented by laptop models which are thin and light and they also bring the great advantage of having long lasting battery life.

Let us take the example of the Acer Timeline 3810TZ-4880 laptop. The unit reviewed here came with a starting price of $899 and it is based on a 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo U9400 processor which comes combined with 4 GB of RAM. The total storage capacity of the hard drive is 500 GB, making it easy to use this laptop as your primary computer. The graphics card that can be found on this system is the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD. The unit comes with the preloaded 64 bit version of the Windows Vista Premium operating system. The dimensions of this laptop are 12.7 x 8.9 x 1.1 while the total weight of the system is 4.5 pounds if we include the power adapter. This indicates that this particular Acer laptop model could be a great ultra portable.

This laptop has a display which measures 13.3 inches in diagonal and it comes with a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. A while back, this resolution would have left us all stunned but the truth is that there is a large number of ultra portables that are beginning to use this particular resolution for 13 inch laptops. This display makes the icons and the text very readable and the images are sharp, with vivid colors, thanks to the glossy coating that covers the display. However, glossiness has always been a problem when using you laptop in a powerfully lit environment. This problem is not very disturbing with the Acer Timeline 3810TZ-4880 laptop.

I have always found the selection of ports and connections to be very important for a laptop but the cases are different depending on the size of the unit. You must understand that smaller laptops cannot come with the full array of ports because there is no room to put them all. Let us see how the Acer Timeline 3810TZ-4880 laptop has done at this chapter.  The unit of this laptop model is host to 3 USB ports, one SD card reader, one VGA out, the HDMI port, an Ethernet port and the regular headphones out and microphone in jacks. There is no included optical drive so you will have to choose an external one.



The HDMI port is quite a nice surprise for a 13 inch laptop. The most important part of all is the battery life. Using the severe video test that completely drains the battery, you will get about 5 hours and 30 minutes of battery life which is amazing. Think about the fact that this kind f test is quite rough and when you use the laptop for less demanding tasks, the battery life is bound to increase and this Acer Timeline model should be of assistance throughout a whole day at work.

Most people always believe that when it comes to choosing good gaming laptops, you have to pay incredible price and these unit automatically become ones that not many people can afford. Well, there are exceptions to this rule as there are to any other rule in the world. Out of all the gaming laptops in the world, we have chosen to speak about a very affordable one which comes from a trustworthy manufacturer: Acer.

If there was a docking station connector as well, it would have been fair to say that this laptop comes with all the ports ever needed. Just kidding.



The selection is way above the category average anyway so we are very pleased with what we get. And now, we are left with the battery performance, which is never amazing on a 18 inch laptop which is meant to be a desktop replacement. With the display brightness set to 70%, the wireless card activated and the Windows 7 power management profile set to “balanced mode”, you are going to get about 3 hours and 10 minutes of battery life.
