Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Acer TimelineU M5-481TG-6814 14-Inch Ultrabook (Gun Metal Gray) (Personal Computers)
I have owned the previous model Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830TG-6450 and upgraded to this model in the past few days -- note that this review pertains to the same laptop I purchased from another retailer, although I did purchase a second one from Amazon for a friend.

I will post various technical specs that are not specified in Acer's specifications first:

Battery: Internal, same battery as in Acer Aspire M3 ultrabook, model AP12A3i (31CP7/67/90) 11.1V 4850mA, 54Wh
Hard disk drive (HDD): Western Digital Scorpio Blue, 2.5" SATA, WDC WD5000LPVT-22G33T0, 7mm height, not 9.5mm -- replacement SSD must be 7mm height!!!
Optical disk drive (ODD): HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU61N (9.5mm height), easy to swap with a UJ-232A or UJ-242A for Blu-Ray burning.
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE, Optimus-based, 384 shaders/CUDA cores, clocked at 500MHz, memory clocked at 10000MHz. v296.32 stock driver

4.0 out of 5 stars It plays Guild Wars 2, July 31, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Acer TimelineU M5-481TG-6814 14-Inch Ultrabook (Gun Metal Gray) (Personal Computers)
I'm not too ashamed to admit that I mostly chose this laptop for it's low price and ability to play Guild Wars 2. The laptop boosts very fast and plays GW2 on medium setting very smooth and nicely.
