Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810T-8480
Countless laptops have promised all-day computing, but Acer finally hit the target with the ultrathin Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810T (6415), which racked up an unprecedented 8 hours and 40 minutes of battery life on a single charge. The latest system in Acer's Timeline series of energy-efficient notebooks, the Aspire AS4810T-8480 ($699.98 list), doesn't disappoint with another battery life score above the 8-hour mark. Configured with low-voltage parts, this stylish 14-inch notebook lasted twice as long as most notebooks in its class. For just $699.98 (available at Staples) you get a fairly robust feature set, but the use of a single core processor means you'll have to settle for sluggish performance.
