Atoms are slow as shite, Core 2 solos wipe the floor with them at any clock speed.

Let me guess, 15.4" display, 1280x800?]]>Jul 27th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/1.4GHz C2S

I don't know if you've noticed but Acer has been doing very well in the current market. People seem to be putting just a little less stock in brand name. Sure the build quality may not be nearly as good as any of their competitors, but Acers are relatively affordable. The only thing it's really missing is a solid graphics processor]]>Jul 27th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/
how big was the compaq you're talking about though? it's probably not an apples-to-apples comparison.

i've got a 13" timeline myself (with the su9400). paid $900 for it. yes i could have gotten a notebook that runs circles around it for a lot less, but then again it's all about what you're looking for out of a notebook, right? with my timeline (and i'm assuming with this 11" one as well), it adds very little weight to my briefcase, cuts down on bulk when i travel, AND i can use it at the gate while waiting for a flight, make it across the country and catch a cab to a hotel, all without battery (6+ hours). to me, that's useful. to other people? maybe not.

if i could have gotten the 11" with a dual core processor, i probably would have waited for that one instead as it's even less bulk when i travel. i've found it's next to impossible on some planes (delta md-88's, i'm looking at you) to open up a full-size notebook and actually get some work done.

value is a very subjective term.]]>Jul 27th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/
Also, the N510 + S12 book seem to be a slightly larger form factor. If you look at the dimensions, the 1810T is only slightly bigger than the Asus 1000HE (my current netbook) and is a little less than 1" wider and 1" deeper and slightly thinner.]]>Jul 27th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/Jul 27th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/>> Ion graphics, but everyone's different. Hopefully the Samsung N510 will be the machine you're looking for.]]>Jul 27th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/
As for the processor, even though it is a Core 2 Solo, it handles all the basic tasks such as word processing (using MS Office 2007), web surfing (HD videos play smoothly), email, video streaming, and handles most any program the average person would use. It also generates very little heat using their 'ComfyTouch' technology. Now while the name sounds incredibly goofy, the fact is it works well. I have left it running all day and it doesn't heat up nearly as much as most laptops do. Unless you are going to be gaming on a laptop, I think the Timeline series is perfect for anyone who needs a powerful, lightweight laptop with a long battery life. ]]>Jul 27th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/
I might get one IF the 6-cell battery is flush with the body. Which is not the case with Acer's corresponding netbook 751h.]]>Jul 27th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/acers-aspire-timeline-1810t-gets-a-price-release-window/

200$ more for just a better processor ?

a big complaint is the keyboard though, a bizarre design with completely flat keys. unlike most keyboards where a press on any part of the key feels relatively the same, if you engage a timeline key in anywhere but the exact center, it requires more pressure and feels quite different to press. very toylike.]]>Jul 27th 2009 3:44PM
