Computeractive have published their review of the Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810TZ-4955 notebook PC. 'The 1810TZ has an 11.6in screen that produced a bright, sharp picture that made reading websites and editing documents much easier than on most netbooks. It has a 250GB hard disk and 3GB of memory - netbooks tend to only have 1GB of memory. The processor is also much better. It's a dual-core low-voltage model that helps when running multiple applications at once. It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, rather than the Windows 7 Starter edition sometimes found on similar computers.'

A review of the Acer Aspire One 532h notebook has been posted over at Pocket-lint. 'The 532 measures 258 x 180 x 22mm at the fattest point, excluding the protruding battery underneath. As on previous models from Acer, the battery fits into the space between the screen hinges, and the bump on the bottom lifts the rear of the netbook nicely, setting the keyboard at an angle when sitting on a desk. The netbook runs fairly quietly, but does get noticeably hot on the left-hand edge where the limited ventilation is. The keyboard fills the entire width of the device something we are always pleased to see. The keyboard is free from any critical levels of flex, which is often a problem with smaller notebooks.'.

CNET Asia have published a review of the Acer Aspire 4540G (AMD Turion II X2 M520 Processor 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM) notebook. 'The Aspire 4540G may have gone with plastic for its chassis, but it's one solid notebook that and feels like it can stand up to some abuse. One of the first things we noticed is that despite an LED-backlit screen, which is supposed to offer a slimmer profile than traditional CCFL-based displays, the unit is unusually thick. Turns out the extra "love handles" are to protect the panel. We tried exerting considerable force on the back of the screen and found no noticeable ripples on the display.'

PC Advisor have published their review of the Acer Aspire One 532h netbook. 'Compared to the earlier Aspire One D150 and D250 netbooks, which had a strong glossy blue screen lid, the Acer Aspire One 532h has a smooth gradient of glossy metallic blue and black on its screen lid. It definitely makes the Aspire One 532h look more refined. However, the glossy exterior is a fingerprint magnet. The interior palmrest, keyboard and bezel are washed in black. Another notable feature of the Acer Aspire One 532h is its keyboard which bears the exact same sized keys and layout (FineTip) as found on the Aspire One 751h. It's great for typing, once you tune into the smaller form factor, and it's definitely better than the MSI Wind U135's keyboard.'

A review of the Acer Aspire One D250 Android notebook has been posted over at Pocket-lint.com. The D250 itself measures 257 x 185 x 24mm and is lightweight at just over 1kg including the battery. The construction is predominantly plastic and whilst the base of the D250 feels solid enough, the screen feels decidedly flimsy, not helped by the elevated hinges. The internal finish is reasonable enough when you lift the lid, with a brushed effect around the keyboard and trackpad that keeps things relatively clear of fingerprints. The glossy plastic bezel surrounding the 10.1-inch LED backlit display and housing the webcam unfortunately doesn't get the same treatment.'

A review of the Acer Ferrari One 200 subnotebook has been posted over at NoteBookCheck.net. 'Regarding materials, Acer decided to use plastics, whereas the high-gloss lid and display frame dirty quickly. After a short usage period you'll already find lots of fingerprints there. Of course you cannot expect too much from such a light (about 1.48 kg) and small (285 mm x 204 mm x 30 mm) plastic case. While the underside is rather stable, the center area of the upper side gives clearly under strong pressure. In particular the lid is not very flexural rigid and can be clearly twisted causing image interferences too.'

TweakTown have published a review of the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 15.6-inch 3D Notebook. 'If you are a big movie and casual game fan, the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 may be something you want to check out. The notebook turns plain ol' movies and content into 3D without any drama or extra steps. The coolness of the 3D feature aside, will the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 stack up? The machine is at its core a multimedia notebook with specs putting it in the mid-range of the segment. The hardware and features make this a rather unique notebook in the multimedia and mainstream segment. Read on for all of the details on the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165.'

Laptop Magazine have published their review of the Acer Aspire 8940G (AS8940G-6865) multimedia notebook. 'Measuring 17.3 x 11.6 x 1.7 inches and weighing 9.2 pounds, the all-black Aspire 8940G is a hefty desktop replacement that users won't tote very far from their desks. Even so, it's lighter than the 10.4-pound, 18.4-inch Toshiba Qosmio X505. The glossy lid collects a fair amount of fingerprints and smudges. This aesthetic extends to the bezel surrounding the display, as well as to the exterior edges of the system's base. A finely textured wrist rest gives the machine a subtle elegance. The large base affords a wide, comfortable, island-style keyboard that offers decent feedback, and it includes white backlighting.'

A review of the Acer Aspire 1410 (2936) ultraportable has been posted over at LaptopMagazine.com. 'From the outside, the Acer Aspire 1410 looks the same as the Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T; in fact, at 11.2 x 8.0 x 1.2 inches and weighing 3.2 pounds, it's the same size and weight. Our review unit had a glossy, Ruby Red lid with Acer's metal logo impressed in the lower corner; the lid picks up fingerprints fairly easily. The same color extends to the deck, which is offset by the matte black keyboard and glossy black bezel. Unlike the Acer Aspire One 751h netbook, the 1410's six-cell battery does not bulge out the back. Instead, it bumps out of the bottom, tilting the 1410 at a slight downward angle towards the user.'

A review of the Acer Aspire Timeline 5810T (4657) notebook PC has been posted over at LaptopMag.com. 'The 5810T is, essentially, a larger version of the 3810T. With a footprint of 14.9 x 10.2 inches, and tapering from 1.2 to 1.0 inches, it's essentially the same size as the MSI X600. However, unlike MSI, Acer managed to integrate a DVD drive. Weighing 5.4 pounds, the 5810T is certainly one of the lighter 15.6-inch notebooks, but it's still half a pound heavier than the X600. Like the 3810T, the Timeline 5810T's matte gray, fingerprint-proof plastic lid is similar to the company's business-oriented TravelMate series. The chassis has a solid feel that belies its low price.'
