Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T Thread

[IKilledYourHamster]

As soon as NEXT WEEK? I was about to pull the trigger on a 1810 this week.... so glad Tigerdirect's bing went down so that I didn't!

Prices are falling for the 1410 and 1810 all over the place. Maybe retailers are already starting to get these newer lines shipped in. That's a shock, first they say announcements will be made at the end of the month and now they say people might have them by the end of the month! Regardless, all very exciting stuff..

that is kool news

Every site has the specs wrong. The 1830 will have Core i processors.

Because those who wrote those articles on those websites probably rank in the bottom 95 percentile when it comes to computer users; they know next to nothing about computers, and usually just read off a printed script.

It appears that the printed script they read on the 17th was different than the one they read on the 16th. Makes me wonder.

No mention of the 11.6" 1830 here either.

Acer to globally debut Calpella Timeline notebooks March 22

Acer will unveil its Calpella Timeline series notebooks equipped with Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors for the global market on March 22, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

The series will have display sizes ranging from 13- to 15-inch with a running time of eight hours, the same as the company's Timeline ultra-thin models.

Although Acer's Calpella Timeline notebooks will be as thick as the Timeline models, they will be slightly heavier due to the cooling modules.

The Calpella Timeline series will feature a 9-cell battery instead of the Timeline's 6-cell battery to enable an eight-hour battery life, the sources noted.

The Calpella Timeline will have three different display sizes: the 13-inch model is made by Wistron, while the 14- and 15-inch models are produced by Quanta Computer.

Scott Lin, president of Acer Taiwan, confirmed that the Calpella Timeline will be launched by the end of March, while Acer Taiwan will officially launch the product on March 30.

Lin, citing GfK's figures, said that Acer surpassed its major competitor Asustek Computer and became the largest notebook and desktop vendor in Taiwan in terms of sales in 2009. Acer had 33-34% of the notebook market in Taiwan, and 25% of the desktop segment.

I hope it's within reason because I've been pretty happy with my 1810T. If it's too much, I won't hound our IT dept for it.

11.6" + 1336x768 resolution + Intel HD + i5 520UM sounds god-sent...

(I am using a 10.1" netbook as my main computer )

[vengance_01]

Yes. Plus the new Intel HD graphics are comparable to the low end ATI/Nvidia gpus.
