Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6870 13.3-Inch Aluminum Laptop
I bought the 6424 rather than the 6870 and my brushup is of the 6242 not the 6870 which are the same except for an upgraded video card – Nvidia, in the 6242. When I bought the 6242 it was 50 dollars more expensive than the 6870 and the upgraded video card seemed worthwhile. Since then Amazon has spent the cost of the 6870 which is now approximately 150 dollars less expensive. I have not applied or compared the 6870 only did utilisation a Toshiba Portege which uses the same intel video chip equally the 6870 and while the 6242 received in my opinion a ameliorate video image than the Toshiba, if I were doing it over, I would not earnings an extra $150 for the 6242.
That being gain equally mud, I did compare hands on the Toshiba Portege 13.3 inch screen computer, the Sony S and the Acer 6242. I besides looked at the specs for the Asus 13.3 computers. I did not want to drop $1000 which removed completely the sexy really slim Acer and Asus computers. The Sony S runs really hot – I looked at it at two different stores and although the computer has higher resolution, a built in DVD drive and weighs less than the Acers in addition to costing around $1000, the heat issue with both machines idling was adequate to dissuade me from them. The Toshiba Portege and the Asus which match the Acers are both several hundred dollars more expensive and arrived with some marginally upgraded equipment; a 7200 rpm hard drive on the Asus and 6 gigabytes as opposed to 4 on the AS3830T-6870 Acer equally considerably as a DVD drive on the Toshiba, for me neither of these was enough of an incentive to expend the additional money. 2 gb of ram doesn’t cost0 $200 dollars and an upgrade difficult drive the same. Acer does not offering this option. I do plan when solid commonwealth drives both gone larger and less expensive to swap my 5400 rpm drive out for one.
