Acer Aspire 1410 and 1810 Timeline 11.6" Thread

[ohiomoto]

This post has been updated to give an overview of the Acer Aspire AS1410 and AS1810 Timeline offerings.

Acer Aspire AS1410 US Configurations Subject to change!

There are three basic configurations. The first is actually a dual-core processor. The other two are single cores. (I believe the third offering will be phased out.)

EDIT: Acer now ships the first two AS1410 models listed here with 2-1GB sticks or RAM instead of the 1-2GB stick as originally specified. Please be sure to check Acer's Website for the latest specifications.

EDIT: Steroduede made this nice table showing the features of the 3 dual-core processors.

I either drop it in a messenger bag or carry it like a book.

So does this thread include the tablet 1820P/T and 1820PT?

[ohiomoto]

I don't know? I guess if the hardware (except the screen) is the same.

What do you guys think?

Yes, since it is an 1810 model.

[Stereodude]

Uh... the other thread already covers these models.

Glad to see this has finally hit North America! Interesting this won't be available in red unlike the 1410.

And now, for the price....

The other thread should be for the non "Timeline" models. It has gotten a little big.

The other thread is almost 3000 post long! It's nearly impossible to find information in there. In about two weeks the whole processor discussion in the other thread will be buried and you'll never figure out where the 1410 thread ends and the 1810(TZ) thread ends.

Besides, some of us still own 1410s and that thread would serve us better if it focused on that machine.

I have the 1410 in black, but I think I like the red better than the blue.

I want to see the price on these as well. I love the AS1410 so far, but would like better HD/full screen video and longer battery life. Depending on the price I might spring for one of these or the ASUS UL20a. The ASUS might not get HDMI, but if they can get 12 hours out of the battery it might be just what I'm looking for.

Also rep solitio for posting the link in the 1410/1810T thread!
