The Acer TravelMate Timeline notebooks include four models, which range in price from $799 to $1,049.

  • 14″ TravelMate Timeline 8473 and 6495
  •  15.6″ TravelMate Timeline 8573 and 6595

These notebooks are powered by Intel Core i Sandy Bridge processor options, and the TravelMate Timeline 6495 and 6595 come with Intel vPro and AntiTheft technology to provide additional security. On the graphics side, the TravelMate notebooks use Intel Integrated HD 3000 graphics, which will work for many users, but can be bumped up to higher end options from NVIDIA including NVIDIA Optimus technology for battery savings.

All of the notebooks pack in 8GB of DDR3 RAM and can be configured with up to a 750GB hard drive or a 120GB SSD. You’ll also find a USB 3.0 port to quickly transfer large files to external storage. This port is capable of charging smartphones over USB while your notebook is closed and powered off.

Acer rates the TravelMate Timeline notebooks at 8 hours of battery life, which is likely to drop down to 6 or so hours in real world use. The batteries have PowerSmart technology, which Acer claims will help them last three times longer than traditional laptop batteries that start to hold a shorter charge after a while. The notebooks are equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and a HD webcam with built in microphone.
