Comments about Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 Notebook Computer:
I bought this laptop for work & chose it over similar laptops because of the long battery life. True to its claim, it DOES have an 8 hour battery life! Great screen color, resolution and brightness. Nice feeling keyboard, although the keys are a bit slick. One thing that is taking some getting used to is the touch pad, which is textured. This means that it isn't as "sticky" as other touchpads, and it sometimes doesn't recognize commands. If only they had switched the slickness of the keys with the texture of the touchpad.

Comments about Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 Notebook Computer:
We've had this Acer notebook for about a month and have no complaints so far. It's extremely light and easy to carry. Battery life seems to be about as long as advertised so far. This is our first home notebook, so not much to compare, and we don't use it for anything too heavy-duty, but we've definitely been pleased so far. Might be nice if the keyboard was a little bit more ergonomic, and I think the touchpad has some nice "two finger" features, but I haven't been able to master them all yet. Those would be the only two slightly negative comments I'd have.
