Piyopico Supercharged June 12, 2009 Share June 12, 2009 IF YOU HAVE ONLY $1,200... What: Acer Aspire Timeline notebook (AS4810TZ-272G25MN) How much: $1,198 (U.P. $1,598), comes with freebies like notebook carrying case, memory upgrades and vouchers Where: Harvey Norman booths A1926 and B1908 Why buy: This baby is lightweight, at only 1.9kg, and has a long battery life of up to eight hours. Anyone have this notebook, need your review. Online reviews gave it high marks. Understand the same notebook would probably costs the same at Sim Lim and you get get them to load up software for free due to competition with PC show. But Harvey Norman may be offering shopping vouchers.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear June 12, 2009 Share June 12, 2009 1.9kg is not exactly light weight. you sure it's the 4810T and not the 3810T that is going for this price ? i doubt so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichibawa 5th Gear June 13, 2009 Share June 13, 2009 I apologize to Tunge but my experience with an Acer notebook was not a good one. Been going in and out the service centre so often it can apply for a PR status there.. So far the notebook that I had used and feel pretty comfortable with it are like those made by IBM (now Lenovo), HP and Fujitsu, especially Fujitsu... they are good.

Boyboy 1st Gear June 13, 2009 Share June 13, 2009 i think acer is really good value for money if u lucky (from a windows user perspective). mine was quite ok and had the best specs for the price. i guess the sacrifice is reliability, but i got lucky. didn't get to use the two yr extended warranty. now over 3 years and my sister is using it. works ok except for the screen abit koyak, only viewable from certain angles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yipsy1 Neutral Newbie June 13, 2009 Share June 13, 2009 I second that. Have you been to Acer Service Centre? Rows and rows of people sitting waiting for their turns. Either too many people buy Acer or Acer sucks big time. Acer's cheap plastic quality is really way inferior compared to the others. Even the HP Service Centre has a much lesser crowd.
