The best kept secret in Netbooks/Ultraportables is the AMD-X2/HD3200 platform. For less than $500, you can have an 11.6 that will not only do everything the 1810 can do, but it will also be able to play games and run 3D applications. The 1810 has an Intel graphics chipset, which automatically means it’s going to be finicky and slow, if it runs things at all.
I personally bought my Toshiba 115D from Amazon 2 months ago, and I’m playing new games on it – Dragon Age: Origins and the Awakening expansion pack. Old stuff is fine, too. It has a 1.5 ghz dual-core processor.
If you pay $630 for the 1810, you get more processor grunt, but you get such a crippled GPU, the power goes to waste.
I get 5 hours of battery life, easily. If you want 8 hours, maybe you want this, but if you want several hours of being able to use a real computer with a GPU, look elsewhere. MSI U230 and Lenovo x100e have the same specs – you owe it to yourself to look at those if you want something that is fully powerful.

Got one of the few for sale and now I work while sitting on the marina. What do I work on:
[...].
That’s Luminous Views.
I build web pages, FTP, Plesk, manage auto-responder, process orders and I use the device to back up images when needed. I am hoping in a pinch it will actually help me create my art as CS2 installed no problem.
Con: speakers suk
Pro: bluetooth, quiet, small, Win7,

I’ve had my 1810T for about 60 days, and it became unstable. It would hard crash after about 5 minutes on battery. Basically became unusable unless it was plugged in. So much for a laptop.
I had been running x64 Windows 7 Ultimate. Prior to last week, I’ve had zero problems with it. The screen just locks up on a random color and that’s it, game over.
I’ve contacted Acer about a replacement and they’re trying to have me run through the same BS, use the erecovery to restore to defaults blah blah. Which does nothing. Problem is, I’m a business traveler and I cannot afford to be without my computer for a month while they fix this.
In the mean time I might just order one of the Asus 1201N’s and once this POS Acer gets fixed, put it on ebay and be rid of it. So far I’ve had 2 Acer Timeline machines, the 1810T and the 3810TZ. The 3810TZ had a hard drive failure a week after I received it, and now the 1810T has failed after 2 months. This is pretty pathetic product for what I thought to be a reputable company.
Edit: Received the laptop back from an Acer repair center, and the problem STILL exists. It crashed within an hour of turning it on. So again, I have to send it back to Acer to fix the same problem I sent it in for the first time. I’m just waiting on it to come back so I can dump it on ebay and try to get my $599 back.
So far it has been 30 days since I sent the laptop to Acer for repairs. I still have not received it back. This is some of the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I imagine my next action is to have an attorney send a letter.

It’s so small, I don’t fill it in my backpack. Very powerful. I also adore the full-size keyboard. Awesome!

Nice screen brightness, Audio puny, would think the machine is fast but it is average only after you clean it up. Too shiny, both the case and the screen.
