The PC sales has fallen 14% in the first three months of the year, the biggest drop in two decades, according to the statistics being provided by IDC. However, the figures are much lower than the survey company had initially predicted. On the same day, Gartner – a renowned consultancy firm, published a 11% decrease in […]
Computer sales in Europe fell by 8.4% in 2011. According to data from Gartner, 58 million units have reportedly been sold during the year. During the last quarter of the year, the sales of the personal computers declined to 11.7% (15.3 million units) over the same period of 2011. In the last quarter, the decline […]
Worldwide sales of computers totaled 89.8 million units in the fourth quarter, representing a significant drop of 6.4% and their worst ever run in the past five years, as indicated by the consulting IDC. The sales will reportedly fall down deeper than expected, as earlier forecasts pointed to a fall of 4.4% in this market. […]
India’s personal computer market is moving in almost the opposite direction from the US’ with an increase of almost 17 percent in the second fiscal quarter 2012 from a year-ago quarter. The leaders were Lenovo on the top, followed closely by Acer and Hewlett-Packard. However, the year-ago market leader Dell saw a decrease in the […]
Microsoft has taken a big and bold step at manufacturing its own tablets and plunging into the OEM business for the first time in over three decade company history. There is no doubt that the pre-announcement of the Surface tablets, both Pro and RT, was mind-boggling. The Pro is certainly capable of capturing the ultrabook […]
Ultrabooks are losing their oomph of being the thin laptops with no nonsense and safer electronic gadgetry. And the main reason is the ever growing market and its capitalization. More and more laptops are bringing SATA hard drives and optical drives to bring down the prices and et cetera, skirting on the fringe of being […]
The Acer Timeline U M5-481TG, while being thinner than previous Acer Timeline laptops, is not exactly thin or light compared with its ultrabook brethren: at 4.2 pounds and 0.8 inch thick, it’ll feel heavier and thicker than most competitors. However, compared with your regular everyday laptop, the Timeline U will feel, with apologies to Mr. […]
Amazingly, the Timeline U M5 manages to fit a tray-loading DVD drive into the left side, a feat that makers of similarly thick ultrabooks like the Sony Vaio T seemingly found impossible or undesirable. Most regular folks would probably prefer to have a DVD drive if price and size weren’t an issue. They’re not, in […]
Stereo speakers, seated below the front edge of the laptop, are shockingly loud. Cranked all the way up, they’ll turn heads at an office. On the other hand, they’re crass and lack quality sound definition. They will, however, blast audio quite nicely in a busy room. A brief note on preinstalled bloatware: Acer’s one of […]

This Acer’s 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE graphics are quite impressive too, and a significant step up in power from the integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics in most ultrabooks. Dirt 3 ran its benchmark at 67.6 frames per second at 1,366×768-pixel resolution and medium graphics settings, and 52.9fps at high graphics settings, while our […]
In the recent events most OEMs, including Acer, have criticised the new product and the possible negative market it may create Microsoft’s new tablets have spurred a new kind of criticism toward their upcoming launches in Fall 2012. However, everyone knew what was coming to Microsoft when they launched the new devices in June. Microsoft […]
