Acer TimelineU M5-581T-6807 15.6-Inch Ultrabook (Silver)

For the price, this laptop is hard to beat. Check out the features: 500GB Hybrid HD (30GB SSD), 8 GB RAM, excellent screen with edge to edge brightness; aluminum case with plastic bottom; 10 numeric keypad.

It's an i5, so it's going to have some fan noise, but it's minor. The only thing it needs but doesn't have is discrete graphics. Other than that its a great little computer.

By the way, this laptop has wonderful audio imaging! Stereo channel separation is better on this laptop than any I've ever heard. The speakers are a little lacking but put on your favorite track and listen... you'll be able to hear information coming from both channels; very, very enjoyable. One suggestion however.... when listening to music use the laptop on a table as the speakers are on the bottom of the unit and would otherwise fire into your knees and muffle output otherwise. Other than that, a very nice little laptop.

I bought this unit refurbished a little over 3 months ago. Seemed like a great value until the warranty period expired. I first started having connectivity issues, now it won't even power on. The Acer support site says a power reset may solve the problem, but the instructions state to remove the battery. Alas, the battery is not removable. No other support is offered because it is out of warranty! I'm now left to scour the internets for possible DIY fixes. Other than that, it performs quite nicely.

That is the only thing I don't like about this system. Microsoft needs to put the start button back now

Very satisfied with the performance of the laptop. Very asthetically pleasing and super thin. It doesnt start up as fast as I though it would but that is no biggy. For the use I put into this laptop, it is over powered.

I received this laptop in good condition with a slight dent on the front but outside of that it's in good condition being that it's refurbished. I do sometimes have to re-boot it when the circles don't appear but outside of that I'm happy with the unit. I wish I could revise this review and bring it down to 3 stars instead of 4 since I've returned this unit for a third generation one since the re-boots sometimes took up to 4 plus error messages like this computer needs repair. So far this new generation unit is much better and starts up with no fuss.
