Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830T-6443 14-Inch Laptop (Cobalt Blue)

I heard some models of Acer Timeline (8xxx series in other regions) has feature to cut off charging when batt is full even though you're using your laptop. This feature is available in new MacBooks so that you don't have to remove your battery when it

A: 99% of chargers cut out or reduce the charge to a 'trickle' when the battery's full.

Display and speakers

OK, let's get this over with: the 15.6-inch screen is a major letdown. A maximum resolution of 1,366x768 pixels feels like cheating when all the other graphics and processor upgrades are thrown in; after all, this laptop boasts a next-gen Nvidia GPU, so why not show off a higher resolution? It baffles me, and while the final U.S. price isn't determined yet, the fact that the European version of our configuration will sell for 1,299 euros suggests this isn't a budget machine. Terrible viewing angles and lackluster color add up to a screen I'd settle for on a $600 laptop, but compared with screens I've seen on the HP Envy 14 Spectre, Razer Blade and Apple's MacBooks, it's weak indeed.

Built-in stereo speakers are seated under the front edge of the laptop, front-firing beneath the palmrest. They show off ample volume, but fall short of the quality suggested by the Dolby Home Theater Professionally Tuned label that hovers above the keyboard. Again, the speakers are fine for normal laptop use, but audio on ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook put it to shame.
