The Acer Aspire Timeline X 3820TZ is a very portable and well equipped laptop that you can find at a very affordable price – £380. The following features may very well make it UK’s best laptop when we’re talking about high quality vs. performance.

Wish a brushed metal lid finish and touchpad, the Acer Aspire Timeline X 3820TZ gives you the feeling that you are operating a very high-tech piece of machinery, even though its reasonable price makes it very accessible.

With a display of 13.3 inches that supports 1366×768 HD and a weight of only 1.9 kg, the Timeline features a dual-core 2 Ghz Intel Pentium P6100 processor, 3 Gb of RAM, a 320 Gb hard drive, Intel GMA X4500 3D graphics with up to 384 Mb shared memory, a full-sized keyboard, integrated webcam with microphone, 3 USB ports and a HDMI port, a charge time of 2.5 hours, but it doesn’t support an optical drive.
