I just recently received an Acer Timeline. It has 1.3Ghz Proc, 320GB HDD, 3GB RAM and I am running Visual Studio 2008, Virtual PC, Office 07 and many of the Remote Desktop / Active Directory Tools and it works wonderfully. I was working and browsing the internet consistently for 6 hours without plugging my laptop into an outlet. Timeline works great for me. I am also running Windows 7 Enterprise.
