3M Brings Power-Saving Notebook Computer to Market

It has now become possible to build a notebook computer that has an eight-hour battery life. 3M’s (News - Alert) Optical Systems, in its quest to build what the customers want, is jointly working with Acer (News - Alert) to bring energy-efficient notebooks to the market in the near future.

Acer has today become the world’s No. 2 notebook computer company using 3M’s multi player optical films in its notebook TimelineX series. The new notebook series now has an eight-hour battery life on a single charge. Even though the screen is slimmer, the resolution offers superior display. The best part of the 3M’s multi-player optical films is that it helps to save considerable power even when the notebook is on.

In a recent market survey of 1,189 respondents, about 89 percent of them vouched for 3M’s quality, saying that it not only enhanced battery performance but also brought improvements to the overall display, including picture quality.

Acer claimed that introducing 3M’s technology has considerably improved battery life of its notebook computers. The multi -layer optical films make the display brighter with wider viewing angles. The number of internal components is reduced with the introduction of this technology,  hence the weight of the notebooks has come down considerably.

Jim Bauman, 3M’s vice president, said that the Acer TimelineX Series notebook has set new standards in the industry. He was pleased to see Acer and 3M merge together to deliver such a high -quality product to the market.
