Just got wind of this video over on the Intel YouTube Channel, channelintel, about “spending the day unplugged (8 hours battery life) with an Acer Aspire Timeline series laptop that features Intel’s new low power consumption processor”.
OK, I’ve seen better productions like the one on ChannelIntel’s homepage but the message is very clear: You last [...]

Just a quick heads up for people looking for the Acer Aspire Timeline series in Canada.
