The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is part of Acer’s Timeline series that aims to integrate sleekness with ample computing power at a low price.

 

To start with, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is powered by Intel’s Core 2 Duo U9400 processor.  This processor clocks in at a low 1.4 GHz but amazingly keeps the whole unit running for more than 10 hours. This is mainly because this processor is a CULV one, which consumes less power even when doing arduous computations.

 

The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is backed by up to 4 GB of memory, which allows hitch-less performance when opening a heavy program.  Its graphics is muscled by an integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD.

 

With these performance specs, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is more than capable of performing office applications and more than enough to do Internet-related tasks.  However, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 cannot handle much graphics editing, mainly due to lack of dedicated video memory and having only integrated a graphics chipset. Definitely, 3D gaming is a big no-no for this laptop.

 

A big plus for the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is its ability to store large amount of digital files.  One could opt to equip the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 of up to 500 GB of disk space.  That’s more than enough to store those movies, music and even important digital documents.

 

Even with this large amount of storage space, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 is still definitely not a burden to a user, physically.  The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 boasts of a sleek and slim design.  This 13-incher comes with a glossy black finish at a box dimension of 12.7 inches x 8.9 inches x 1.1 inches. With this measurement, the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 sets a high portability score, especially that it weighs only an astonishing 3.7 pounds.

 

The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ-4880 comes with a 16:9 LED backlit display.  This display is set with a native 1366 x 768 resolution, and is very good for HD movie watching.
