Ensuring even greater responsiveness and connectivity is a pair of Acer's latest feature innovations, the Acer Green Instant On and Acer Instant Connect/Instant Update. The first enables the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M5 to resume from sleep in 1.5 seconds as well as remain on standby for up to 50 days without restarting, shutting down, or charging.
