All the Hooray rclxm9.gif and poison going around drool.gif , not so good for our $$$. Consumer always look for laptop with sleek and slim design, light weight, powerful, long battery life and best bang of the buck. Acer really get our heart and poison us kao kao and make us drunk. rclxub.gif

It time to look for antidote. cool.gif Just post some of my point of doubts, not to add poisons anymore as it keep coming... rclxms.gif

Warning!!! you may be poisoned or cured if refer to Link for Taiwan launch event brows.gif > Acer style change to go younger debut third-generation Timeline X

Quoted from the above launch event:
"Comparison of a new generation of Timeline X surprise is that the battery built to take the design can not be replaced, although the emphasis acer battery capacity compared to less than 80% generally about 300 cycles, a new generation of more than 1000 cycles Timeline recession cycle in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, in the calculation of two days under a single charge, about 3 to 5 years of life, but I was more concerned about the maintenance in case of battery failure problems."

Really, the build in battery can not be replaced? What a nightmare doh.gif . Laptop will become desktop when battery dead or mulfunction. vmad.gif

Let assume if build in battery is available at higher cost for the timebeing, what will happen if Acer future timeX series design revert to replaceable battery and discontinue the build in battery, than headache again. mad.gif

What is the warranty period for build in battery? Is it only for few months like those normal battery.

If you game frequently, the higher heat generate inside the slim body will shorten the lifespan of the build in battery and the laptop, unless it has a good heat management to counter it.

The harddisk, heat sink and build in battery may not be easily accessable. Its may not user friendly for DIY and cleaning job.

Hope early adopters can give some clarification, temperature reading under load, post GPUZ notworthy.gif

The build in battery is connected to mainboard with cable, needs some skill to remove it and so troublesome doh.gif
There is a battery switch inside the casing at the bottom part. you can insert a pin thro' the hole at back casing to switch off battery.

Waiting more post mortem pics from pro, esp the heatsink. notworthy.gif
