Acer Aspire 1410 and 1810T Timeline (single core) 11.6" Thread

[Phil]

Have you got an example at hand? Maybe they measured asychronous vs. synchronous dual channel, just guessing.
Edit:
Or they measured system performance instead of graphics performance.

Yes they measured system performance.

Can't really remember where I saw them but it might be in here:

Hi All: Will any of the Acer 1410s have integrated sim slot, WLNA and BLuetooth integrated into the usit. If so, does any one know what the correct model number will be?

Also, Does anyoen know if the Aspire ONe 751h has a version with all three?

And last, if Acer Does not have a netbook with those three communication capabilites availalbe, does anyone hae any other vendo that does and it is a good build/buy>

Thanks,

G.E.

For what it's worth, Europe is getting a 3G version of the 1810T.

Nice to hear about the 3G option in Europe.
Should I cancel my US 1410, and wait for the
SU4100 with 3G, a dream machine!

BTW, some will be interested in knowing about the new 11.6" Inspiron 11z (with photos) for $399 US

"Strictly classified as a "thin-and-light," this three-pound machine measures in at just one-inch thick and ships with a 1.2GHz Celeron 723 processor, a 1,366 x 768 LED-backlit panel, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB (5400RPM) SATA hard drive, GS45 integrated graphics, WiFi, a 3-cell battery and nary an optical drive to speak of. There's also a 1.3 megapixel camera, twin stereo speakers, an Ethernet port, three USB sockets, a 3-in-1 multicard reader and an HDMI output, though we get the feeling Windows Vista won't be too happy with the hardware."

Dell's website began listing their Inspiron 11z just a short time ago.
The web page is set to offer extensive customization, but who knows?

That Dell has got a 28Wh battery, their engineers must be total morons
Edit:
This also leads to the sad assumption that the bigger battery(if it exists) will stick out like on older netbooks.

Edit:
A very nice companion for the 1810t:

Very small and light and powered via USB

Some applications are more memory intensive then others. File compression is one example. Integrated video will also benefit from more memory bandwidth, >30% performance increase in 3D games sounds reasonable. Not sure about DXVA, my guess is that it shouldn't tax the memory subsystem to much, and software video decoding is definitely CPU bound.

And it will be sold for a high price, so Dell can make it's profit margin.

Dell laptops are usually only competitive when using coupons or other discounts.

So it works only for games?

Ps. Dell has woken up: http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/noteb...cs=19&ref=lthp Celeron 723 only.

Dell have dropped the ball with power efficiency of their latest netbooks and laptops, and this is the main deal breaker for me when choosing a "thin-and-light". Even if they start selling 11z with more options, like a flush fitting 6-cell battery and a better procesor, I would have to wait for a review from a respected side before I'm convinced.

All my previous laptops were Dell, but at this point I have more trust in 1810t (and all it's aliases).

56WHr 6-cell for 11z is $150 from Dell right now. From the picture it seem like it could be flush fitting, but it could be the wrong battery in the picture.

Okay, sent a query to Bing about the cashback. We'll see. Hopefully I get 12% too.

The Dell, I dunno, it doesn't look as nice as the Acer, nor is it as fast. And after all the options (plus no cashback) it's gonna be more expensive. But still, compared to a $399 netbook, it's a pretty good buy. Just not as good as the Acer.
