The latest Timeline 8000s will be available in 13.3", 14" and 15.6" versions, though all will have a resolution of 1,366x768. You will have your option of Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Duo ULV CPUs, from 4GB to an inspiring 8GB RAM, and HDDs from 160GB to 500GB or an 80GB SSD. Other features will include an advance to an ATI 4330 GPU instead of Intel's GMA 4500MHD, multi-touch trackpad, and 3G. The 8000 claims to achieve 8 hours of battery life and has a feature where it stops actively charging when the battery reaches 100%, reducing the damaging effects of overcharging. There was previous news that Acer as well as Asus is not making new notebooks until the release of Intel's Pine Trail Platform likely in Q1 2010. Thus, both these companies are also working for developing new products for their CULV market segment.
