Quick Review Acer Aspire 1830T-3721

Most of us do work while on the move, and in such situations an ultra light laptop with good battery output is what we require the most. The Acer Aspire Timeline series 1830T-3721 is one the ultra portable laptops with a whooping 6 hour Acer as07b31 battery life and under thousand dollar range, is one the hot favorites for those who normally work out of office.

Build – Design – Hardware

The laptop design is on the lines of Aspire One Netbook and weighs approximately 3 pounds. Its easy to carry this laptop and it is powered by Intel Core i5 for solid performance. The body is fingerprint proof, and sturdy enough to withstand the jerks and bumps. This small machine does get heated up, but it’s manageable. The 11.6’ screen is compared to a netbook screen, but its far better than any netbook available today.

Keyboard – Mouse – Webcam

The keys are textured, the keyboard is spacious and like all Acer laptops this machine too has flat keys. The right and left Shift keys are big in size, useful to manage all those shortcuts. The touchpad is almost invisible, but quite sensitive and responds well to your touch. The right and left click buttons are equally comfortable. The inbuilt web camera serves its purpose and its good for those frequent Skype video calls.

Connectivity – Ports – Battery

3 USb ports, HDMI Output, Multi Media card reader, Ethernet Slot, VGA Output, Mic and headphone jacks support this laptop the most. This Wi-Fi enabled laptop has an excellent battery life of 6 hours and for that very reason its called the “Small Wonder”
