Acer's Travelmate Timeline 8000 series targets the business sector and provides all day usability in a very compact shell. At 13.3 inches, the TravelMate 8371 is the smallest in the series.
The laptop boasts a phenomenal battery life and we managed to squeeze 561 minutes out of the battery under fairly intensive use. This enhances portability and means you can forget the charger when away from the office.
Acer has achieved this by employing low-voltage components and by implementing the Acer PowerSmart key, which helps you tailor the machine's power and performance to your needs. Also, the power adapter, which features an adaptive charging mode, automatically stops using power once the battery is full.
The widescreen LED screen is also very resource light and the 1366 x 768-pixel resolution is detailed enough for viewing word documents and spreadsheets. It isn't the brightest panel, but as there is no shiny Super-TFT screen coating causing distracting reflections this isn't an issue.
