Timeline

Acer has some big announcements today! They have expanded their Timeline Series with a new, smaller 11.6-inch model. Also, other new models in the Timeline Series now include dual-core processors for better performance and a longer battery life. But the news that really got my attention is their new Aspire AS5738PG. It is the company's first multi-touch screen notebook computer.

The multi-touch Aspire AS5738PG features an LED-backlit 16:9 widescreen HD display, 320GB hard drive, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 Graphics with 512MB Dedicated DDR3 VRAM graphics, Dolby Home Theater Audio Enhancement with built-in speakers and 5.1-channel surround sound.
