Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830T-2412G64nbb

The Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830T, the successor to the 3820T is now available in the Philippines. At a price of Php37,900, it cost Php3K more than the 3820T at its release.  The higher price is because while the 3820T sold in the Philippine had an Core i3 processor, the 3830T comes with a a Intel Core i5 processor. Sandy Bridge also bring faster Intel 3000 graphics (3X faster than Intel HD) and USB 3.0 support. The higher price also comes in with a larger 640GB hard drive.
 
The Acer 3830T's specifications are as follows:
  • Screen: 13.3" HD 1366 x 768 (WXGA) high-brightness (200-nit) Acer CineCrysta LED-backlit TFT LCD screen
  • O.S.: Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2410 processor (2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz, and
  • Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000
  • Memory: 2GB DDR3 Memory
  • Storage: 640GB SATA Hard Drive
  • Optical drive: None
  • Battery: 6-cell (6000 mAh)
The chiclet keyboard feels better than the older island style keyboard in the 3820T, and build quality has also been improved. The new Acer 3830T might weighs in at 4.1 pounds, a bit more than the 3.9 pounds of the older 3820T. This takes it out of the ultraportable classification and makes it a thin-and-light laptop.

Last we checked the older Acer 3820T was available at Php31,900. The low price makes it a decent choice even with the release of the newer Acer 3830T.
