Customer Reviews
Excellent Mini-Notebook/Netbook
First want to say, if you wanted to get the Acer Timeline AS1810T-8638 and found that it’s no longer available, you’re in luck. This is the same exact computer(minus the bluetooth), just with a different number on the back end. The specs are identical. Now on to my review.
Startup was very easy and quick. Only took about ten minutes to get it off the first initial boot. I have to say I’m pretty impressed with Windows 7 so far. I’ve used XP and Vista in the past so my knowledge of windows is extensive. It took a bit to get used to, but after about an hour of playing around with it, I’m fairly comfortable navigating the new operating system.
Performance of the computer is excellent. It shuts down and starts up lighting fast. I think the 4 gigs of ram helps out a lot. I own another netbook with 2gb of ram running an atom processor, and this Acer just destroys it in speed. Granted its size is a bit bigger at 11.6 inches compared to most netbooks at 10.1, but in my opinion I’d rather sacrifice a little size for faster performance. I’d also like to point out how thin and light the computer is. I can see it being very easy to take around with you wherever you go. The nearly full size keyboard is a plus as well.
Quality of build is solid too in my opinion. I’ll give Acer that. In the past their notebooks creaked and just felt cheaply built. This one feels very solid and the keyboard is very smooth. No wiggle of the keys and each key stroke feels natural.
I’ve heard people complain in the past of a loud fan on notebooks, and this one is very quiet. I hardly ever notice it. I’m also impressed how cool it is sitting on my lap. It doesn’t feel warm at all.
As far as ports, it has 3 usbs, hdmi, vga, card reader, microphone, and headphone. I think this is very sufficient for almost anyone. The lack of a cd/dvd drive might be a turn off for some, but it’s to be expected with a notebook of this size.
Storage should never be a problem with 320gb. Even with all your music, pictures, and videos, I think it would be hard to fill this completely up.
Battery life: It’s supposed to deliver around 8 hours and from what I’ve seen online that should be about right give or take so lugging around the power cord shouldn’t be necessary.
Overall, I’m very impressed with this computer. I think Acer really has a winner on its hands. Its light, has a ton of storage space, 4gb of ram, and runs for about 8 hours (though I haven’t confirmed this) without needing to be recharged. How can you go wrong?
Forget the netbooks!
If you are considering buying a netbook for a travel computer take a look at this one instead. It is a full feature laptop ( 1.3mhz Centrino 2 chip…) no bigger than a legal pad. The only thing it lacks is an internal DVD drive, but there are dozens of external USB powered DVD drives available (i.e. HP 556s …) to take along if you need one. I got my 1810T from Tiger Direct, they have them in stock at their local retail outlets. The screen on this 1810T is sharp. It comes complete with Windows 7 Premium (x64) and 4gb of DDR2 ram. The hard drive is a big 320gb size but only 5400 RPM. A 7200 RPM drive might make it a little faster but since it’s not a gaming computer it doesn’t really matter. When the prices come down on large SSD drives that would be a better option. The battery life is indeed long but to get near the 8 hour life they advertise you need to turn off the Wi-Fi. Otherwise you’ll see about 5 hours of battery life. The laptop cover is shiney and smooth texture which means finger prints will show easily. Overall I’m very satisfied with this little laptop, and it’s perfect to throw in my suitcase for travel. It beats the netbooks hands down.
