Acer's Timeline series has low-voltage processors in the past, but three of the four new TimelineX models they're introducing are full Core i3/i5. And while the nearly netbook-sized 1830T houses ULV Core i3/i5, it's still a relative bargain. That 11.6-inch 1830T weighs just three pounds and features up to a ULV Core i5 CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and 500GB hard drive starting at $600. The other models in the series include the 13.3-inch 3820T, 14-inch 4820T and the 15.6-inch 5820T, all of which feature full Core i3/i5 and 3GB or 4GB of hard drive. The 14 and 15-inch models both come with optical drives, although by the time you hit the 5.5 pound 5820T these start feeling a bit less like ultraportables. That's why it's the 1830T that's the most intriguing of the bunch to me. Depending on how much you sacrifice going with the ULV Core, it could one of the best blends of portability, performance, and price that's out there.
