Acer Timeline - Thoughts?

[iammarrk]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for something light, good battery, and powerful enough that i am not hating myself when using it (im a power user). I am looking at the Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T-8638. What are your thoughts? Build quality? Anyone have a chance to play with one or one like it?

Here are the spec:
Intel Core2 Duo Processor SU7300, Windows 7 Home Premium, 11.6 inch HD Widescreen CineCrystal LED-backlit Display, Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset, 4096MB DDR2 667MHz Memory, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, 320GB SATA Hard Drive, Integrated Acer Crystal Eye Webcam, Multi-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader, Discount Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T-8638 2nd Generation Dolby Sound Room Audio Enhancement, Intel WiFi Link 1000 802.11b/g/Draft-N, Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR, 3 - USB 2.0 Ports, 1 - HDMI Port, Convenience Buttons- Multi-Gesture Touchpad, 6-cell Li-ion Battery (5600 mAh), 8+ hours of battery life, 3.08 lbs.

The only thing about Acer's is that they run hot, which in turn can lead to hardware going out long before it should. if I were you, I'd look into some sort of extended warranty just to play it safe.
