Who said ultrabooks had to be small? Certainly not Acer with its new 15.6in Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG-72634G52Mnkk - a laptop that promises ultrabook portability and responsiveness with the raw power needed for tasks like intensive gaming. But w...

Compared to the Samsung Notebook Series 9 and the Dell XPS 14 also reviewed in August 2012, the Acer Aspire Timeline M3 is far from attractive. But it’s worth looking beyond the plain exterior for several reasons. From the optical drive – yes, there’s...

The Acer Aspire M3 is a slim ultra-portable with a 15.6in screen and a stunning matt black finish. It feels incredibly well built, too. Unusually, the power switch is hidden on the edge of the lower front lip of the laptop, making it a bit of a challen...

Remember the Acer Aspire Timeline 581T – or, to give it its full name, the Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 Ultra 581T-32364G34Mnkk? It's a 15in Ultrabook that, at under £500, was one of the cheapest Ultrabooks going. Inevitably then, its specifications were far...

The Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 581TG is something pretty special. Not because it's particularly good-looking, has a great screen or is especially well-connected – it's none of these things. But rather because, if you can live with its awkward rear-only con...

Ultrabook is the term for the latest generation laptops using efficient Intel processors. Until now only smaller models were available, equipped with an 11.6-inch, 13-inch or 14-inch screens. Now the first larger Ultrabooks are beginning to emerge, such...
The Acer Aspire M3 weighs under 2 kg, has a pretty fast SSD, and thanks to the GeForce GT640M you can definitely play video games in 1366x768 resolution. Moreover, the battery life is very good. The one drawback is perhaps that the processor isn't that...

Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 Ultra 581T-32364G34Mnkk. That's quite a mouthful – in fact, far too much of a mouthful, really; Philips has nothing on Acer when it comes to overcomplicated model numbers. Unfortunately, we can't just call this laptop the Acer As...

This particular 581T-32364G34Mnkk configuration of the Acer Aspire Timeline U M3 makes it one of the cheapest ‘Ultrabooks' available, or from another perspective, one of the lightest and slimmest affordable 15in laptops on the market. If this appeals to y...

At 15.6 inches, 2.1kg, and with a built-in optical drive, a discrete graphics adapter and a Core i7 CPU, it's hard to consider the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 an Ultrabook. It feels too big to be in the same class as many of the other Ultrabooks that...

The Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 is a very good notebook overall, offering exceptional performance and battery life. It's also well built and stylish. However, we wish it had some ports on the sides and that there was a little more room for the left palm...

There is a wide variety of very affordable to choose from. The two most important categories are the following: powerful and portable. So it will all be a question of what you want. If portable is the thing you can't live without, then go for it. But this...
Mobile computing discovers in the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG a good ally. This laptop is portable, thin and it has a good performance. Its graphics card in particular is great. From rumors, the device will have a price of £600...

Nvidia has been calling the Acer Timeline U M3 the first true Ultrabook. And the big, green graphics giant has good reason to be backing this svelte-looking machine - at its heart beats the very latest in mobile graphics power, the GeForce GT 640M. This i...

With a glossy 1366 x 768 pixel TN display, the M3's screen is far from the best in its category. For example, with its 1600 x 900 pixel screen the UX31E displays more information in a smaller space (13.3"). To make matters worse, the M3's screen has a...

Though imperfect (the glossy screen is of mediocre quality and the ports aren't necessarily located in the best place), the Acer M3 has a lot of strengths. It has great battery life, it's powerful, it's less than 2 cm thick, it has good audio and it ev...

The Acer Timeline M3 laptop is a study in polar opposites. Its thin, elegant chassis and superb performance for its class suggest that the M3 might be a true category leader, but a painfully poor LCD panel prevents the Acer from achieving that goal. At...
The Acer Timeline M3 offers excellent overall performance and an elegant-looking package, but with less than optimal input devices and an eye-gouging LCD panel that left us cold. You can adjust to an odd keyboard feel, and you can tweak trackpad settin...

Acer’s new Timeline Ultra M3 blazes a path that no others have been willing to take. By incorporating one of NVIDIA’s new GT 640M Kepler-based graphics processors within their design, they have become the first company to include a gaming-grade GPU in...
The Timeline Ultra M3 gave Acer the perfect opportunity to show the world how Ultrabooks should perform but without the GT 640M, it would be an absolute failure. Instead of being the success we had hoped it would be, this notebook feels rushed and inco...

With a 15-inch form factor, the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 doesn't quite feel like it belongsunder the Ultrabook classification. Acer seems to be pushing past the Ultrabook toe-line for this, and it's more than just the size alone: inside houses the fi...

You might not think “Ultrabook” with its 15-inch form factor, but Acer has certainly gone for more with the Aspire Timeline M3, particularly with its excellent graphics performance. While it does have a few design niggles, the thin and light chassis plus...
