The Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T is powered by an Intel Core i5-430UM processor. This new generation ULV processor makes the notebook one of the best performers on the market under a grand. What's more, the 1830T delivers a decent 6 hours of battery life.

Processor: 1.2GHz Core i5-430UM
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
RAM: 4GB/4GB
Storage: 500GB/5,400rpm
Display: 11.6 inch display with 1366×768 pixels
The core i5-11400 measures just 1.1 inches in thickness and weighs around 3 pounds. In terms of looks the 1830T isn't much different from the Aspire One 721 netbook. It is, however, a bit heavier but that powerful dual core processor does justify those extra ounces.

The notebook features a matte lid which hides fingerprints. It ships with a 6-cell battery which bulges out of the system, tilting the machine at a slight angle.
The 1830T does get warm while performing certain tasks. There is still no cause for concern. However, putting the machine on your lap for extended periods certainly isn't recommended.
The keyboard is nearly full size. It is easy to use. The keys provide nice tactile feedback and you will be able to achieve your normal typing speed within no time. The silver touchpad buttons are nice and crisp, but the touch surface could have been a little larger.
