Acer Aspire Timeline U M3-581TG Review

Many Ultrabooks such as the Asus Zenbook UX31E and Toshiba Portege Z830 command a heavy premium for their super-slim design and powerful configuration. Even those that feature less powerful processors and hard drives instead of SSDs are overpriced for the kind of performance they offer. Let’s find out whether Acer’s Aspire Timeline U series has the potential to give its rivals a run for their money.

Features
The base configuration of the Timeline U M3-581TG is quite similar to its smaller sibling, the U M5-481T that features a 14.1-inch display, and a few other models such as the Samsung Series 5. Under the hood is the Intel Core i5-2467M CPU, 4GB of DDR3 memory and a 500GB hard disk. One component that puts this Ultrabook ahead in terms of both performance and value for money is the dedicated graphics processor (hence the letter ‘G’ at the end of the model number). Nvidia GeForce GT640 with 1GB of dedicated memory is decent for gaming, albeit with low to medium settings on the display’s native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The other components that add good value are the fabulous Dolby-certified speakers and the DVD-writer. The M3-581TG comes preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
