I hear people talking about this great laptop, but it seems to be smoke and mirrors. Anyone know if and when this laptop will reach the USA?

Bronsky -
Is curious with all the people that are in USA and in all Europe willing to buy this team and waiting for news of availability, do not understand how acer is not putting all eggs in one basket...
-
Profits are higher in europe ...

hmm i have also been reading the m11x vs z thread and saw this laptop in it.
it seems like EXACTLY what i need opposed to the other two, and im kinda sad to see i cant buy it anywhere.
i have never owned an acer but the few i have seen have been simple design and good working. With those hybrid graphics abilities.... that will be good for my gaming needs for the next 3 years + work, entertainment and all.
really looking to see if this comes to us -
I always thought Acer was a volume PC maker.
* = yes, I know Europe has a higher populace but prices are higher thus discouraging sales and much of Europe is in a consumption slump... -

asus ul30jt disappoint me so if this come to usa, im hopping on it!

Please can I join this list of people who would like an Acer TimelineX 3820TG with an HD5650 GPU? Nudge this thread if it ever happens in the UK.

In my life I see first time that a product is available in my country before U.S. How lucky I am that I also found a second hand in Turkey.

for those who are looking for 3820TG, they do make a model in US, A lot like the 3820 TG
AS4820TG-3195
Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820TG-3195 NoteBook Intel Core i5 450M(2.40GHz) 14" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GB
Newegg.com - Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820TG-3195 NoteBook Intel Core i5 450M(2.40GHz) 14" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
there is 2 difference from what i can understand
3820TG - 2 cooling fan no optical drive
4820TG - 1 calling fan have optical drive
everything else is the same. if not check out Asus K42JV-X1 or Asus N82Jv-X1 -
not the same at all... the 4820 was FAR heavier... 4.65 vs 3.9 and that is massive in this class. It is also bigger and, to cap it off, its gone too.
Screw Acer really. They can focus on Asian market and EU. Ill just make sure to spend US dollars on a maker that actually releases products here (which is basically every other vendor)
The Asus exists, which is nice, but both are also heavy... 4.85lbs for one and >5lbs for the other. To me, the M11x is already too heavy, but is very attractive price wise. To beat it means same or greater power at less weight. Only the Acer seems to do that, but again, only the 3820TG and its too unavailable in the US. -
4.65 vs 3.9 Pounds is not a big difference in weight. Especially, since most college students carry around 15.6" laptops that weigh 5-7 Pounds. The 4820TG weighs less than most of my college books. If you are a girl, I would understand, but if you are a guy, you need to seriously workout. No offense.

That is a big difference in weight. Big difference in portability and footprint too. Every little bit makes a difference and can tip the scale one way or the other. I'm not saying the 4820TG is some thick heavy beast, but when compared to the 3820TG, the true king shines.
From trivial everyday tasks to taking the laptop everywhere with you on the go, it's easy to quickly realize how priceless having a true portable powerhouse machine at less than 4lbs is. That's why i'm purchasing a 3820TG even when i've already owned a 4820TG for a month.
By the way I bench 245, deadlift 395, and squat 275. -
Seriously, there is a market for ultraportables. If anything the 3820TG is heavy for that class (where a Z is 3lbs and a R705 is 3.2lbs) so going up another 15% in weight means you are no longer talking an ultraportable. The 3820TG is only unique in what it brings at <$1000 and <4lbs. There are plenty of options if you are in the market for a laptop cloiser to 5 lbs.
It reminds me of people that say the Z is a rip-off because the can get similar performance from their 6lb laptop. For people who want small size and performance... the small size matters. -
I also carried around an 8.1 Pound (Dell Inspiron 5100) laptop during Freshmen year in college. That's a big difference in weight (8.1 vs 4.65 Pounds) compared to the 4.65 vs 3.9 Pounds argument. I brought the 4820TG for the cheap price, battery life, and HD 5650. The light weight was a bonus for me.
I owned an Acer Aspire 5740G-6979 (6.2 Pounds, Core i5, HD 5650), a Dell Inspiron 700m
(4.1 Pounds, Centrino, battery life, best screen at the time), a Sony NW Series (6 Pounds, Blu-ray, Black Friday $475), etc. I brought all of these laptops for the price and performance value. -
I agree that the 4820TG is a good option and relatively light- and an extra 0.6lbs for a larger screen and an optical drive is not a bad trade off.
But for me personally (and I'm sure some others) the 3820TG is already about as heavy as I want to go. I'm in the market for an ultra-portable (coming from a 3.3lb laptop) and am not in the market for a 4.5+ lb thin and light. -
When will Acer TimelineX 3820TG with HD5650 reach the USA?
