Timeline

  • The good: The slim Acer Timeline U M۵-۴۸۱TG ultrabook combines Nvidia graphics, an optical drive, and plenty of extra features, including a backlit keyboard, in a shockingly affordable package. The bad: A clean but generic design and its heavier weight make the U M۵ feel less like an ultrabook and more like a regular mainstream laptop; the screen quality is mediocre, too. The bottom line: Yes, its heavier than the average ultrabook, but if youre looking for an excellent value in a full - featured thin laptop, the Acer Timeline U M۵ is hard to beat. Editors Top Picks
