Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 hands-on (video)

by admin

Acer’s Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 laptops are hardly a mystery — they’ve already been announced for the UK — but until now we haven’t had the chance to handle one in person. Luckily for us, then, both the 14- and 15-inch models are on display here at Computex, right alongside the similar M3 Ultrabook we reviewed earlier this year. Like the M3, they pack NVIDIA’s Kepler-based GeForce GT640M graphics and can be configured with solid-state drives, but the M5′s design is decidedly more polished, with a brushed metal finish, narrower bezels and backlit keyboards. Nonetheless, some things haven’t changed: the keyboard layout is the same, as is the 1366 x 768 TN display and thin chassis, which measures around 20mm thick. No word on availability beyond what we already know, but for now enjoy the hands-on photos and comparison video.Gallery: Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 hands-onContinue reading Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 hands-on (video)Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 hands-on (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 07 Jun 2012 00:37:00 EDT.
