Design

Full of innovative and convenient touches, the TimelineX now encases long-lasting performance within Acer's high-end design, setting a new benchmark for usability and style. At less than 1" thick, the ultra-stylish look and feel of the Aspire TimelineX Series is emphasized by clean lines, geometric shapes and smooth angles, all elegantly complemented by the new metallic blue top cover and silver side profile to create a clean, very modern effect.

The Aspire TimelineX family integrates state-of-the-art wireless and wired technologies, including a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ network connection, Bluetooth® 3.0 (optional) and Gigabit LAN. To intensify your digital media enjoyment, HDMI® connectivity brings HD entertainment to your big-screen TV or home theatre system for the ultimate high-definition experience, while the USB 3.0 port (optional) can transfer data to and from external devices up to 10 times faster than before. Lastly, the Aspire TimelineX also features an ultra-convenient USB charger that lets you power-up your smartphone or other USB devices without even turning on the notebook.

8+ hours

The Aspire TimelineX Series was the first notebook to break the 8-hour battery-life1 barrier, setting a fresh benchmark for all-day productivity. With the new TimelineX, we've managed to extract 25% more life from the battery2, for a simply staggering 10 hours of battery life1 on a single charge, giving you even more time for work and play. We've also added a one-touch LED indicator on the front of the notebook that shows low, medium and full battery levels in different colours depending on whether your TimelineX is connected to a power supply or not.
