    Yes but they are just using the inbuilt intel graphics.

    I know, it just makes you realise how perfect 16:10 is for notebooks.......

    @vacaloca Yes, all ultrabooks will use integrated graphics IIRC.

    I read that these will have dedicated graphics as well. The question is, has Acer dealt with its cooling problems in the Timelines? These are even thinner and would have even more trouble dissappating heat.

    I wonder if the Timeline Ultra's are intended to replace the Timelines or just to supplement the line like the Dell XPS 14Z? While Acer has been busy messing up the Timeline series, Lenovo has been developing the Ideabook Y480, which will be available with an I7 and GTX660M GPU in a 14" notebook with a FHD display.
