  • Thin, attractive chassis; surprisingly good 3D and productivity performance; above-average battery life, audio quality
  • At under $800, the Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830TG-6431 is one of the most affordable thin laptops we've seen. It makes few compromises and packs impressive Nvidia graphics into a very compact, portable design
