2012 ultrabooks that are in the market or are in the pipeline – Part 3

The featured ports–HDMI, USB 3.0, and Thunderbolt–are tucked away via a MagicFlip port door, which aims to eliminate clutter.

We’ve seen port doors on ultrabooks like the Samsung Series 9, but we’ve never been fond of them. The S5’s MagicFlip solution is clever, but we prefer side ports for sheer convenience. Perhaps the rear door might be a solution meant to interface more easily with a future dock.

Acer Timeline Ultra 14- and 15-inch Notebooks

As the name suggests, Acer is planning to hurl into the nascent ultrabook market with not one but more line of notebooks, slim of course. The Timeline series is another cog in the company’s machine to make a run into the ultrabook market with a blast.

The Timeline Ultra M3, the 15-inch version, has been released in the US market. the super-slim design and larger footprint surely will give the mid-size laptops a run for their money. On the other hand, a fearful notion surges my body as larger laptops are making their way into the delicate and budding ultrabook market.
The Ultra M3 is 4.4 pounds, but it is .79 inches thick. Of all of these, the biggest novelty of this Timeline is that it’s the first ultrabook (as defined by Intel) to feature Nvidia graphics. It won’t be the last.

With a second generation Core i7 processor supported by 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD storage device, the M3 makes a bolder move to the market to lure those customers who want a slim alternative to their existing laptops and but with the same 15-inch display.
