While many people like the size and convenience of netbooks, many don’t like the typical lack of power. The new Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T looks set to change that.
The Acer Timeline 1810T is without a doubt the fastest netbook to date. While on the outside it’s chassis looks very similar to the Aspire One 751, and has the same 11.6-inch LCD with 1366×768 resolution, but on this inside it’s a lot more similar to the new Timeline laptop range.
Featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 (1.3GHz, dual core) processor, the Acer 1810T is more than twice as fast as the typical Atom CPU found in most netbooks. It also uses the Intel GS45 Express Chipset, with GMA 4500MHD graphics and hardware accelerated decoding of HD videos. It can also support upto 4GB of RAM, where as most netbooks can only support up to 2GB.
The Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T will also feature a HDMI output and with S/PDIF audio output, making it great for media use or as a HTPC. There is also Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, optional 3G and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, along with an 8hr battery life.
It will come with Windows Vista Home Premium installed, with an optional to upgrade to Window 7 for free.
Update 2:The Acer 1810T will be released in the U.S with Windows 7, and a dual core Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 (1.3GHz, dual core) CPU and a 320GB hard drive.
Update 3: The time has come! You can now own the 1810T for $625 from Amazon!
