11.6 inch Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810TZ packs a dual core CULV processor

10/14/2009 at 8:43 AM by Brad Linder 14 Comments

as1810tz

I was pretty impressed with the Acer Aspire 1410 (also known as the 1810T in many parts of the globe) when I had a chance to review it. The 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor and GMA 4500MHD graphics were a nice step up from the Atom/GMA 950 combo you get with most netbooks. But at 11.6 inches and 3.1 pounds, the Acer Aspire 1410 isn’t much bigger or heavier than a typical netbook. But that Core 2 Solo processor wasn’t a miracle worker. The machine still struggled with some CPU-intensive tasks, like playing HD Flash video.

But now Acer is introducing an upgraded model called the Aspire Timeline AS1810TZ that should be able to handle more CPU heavy tasks thanks to a dual core 1.3GHz Intel Core to Duo SU7300 ULV processor.

The SU7300 is still a ULV, or ultra low voltage processor, which means it won’t really compete with the chips you’ll find in high end machines. But this processor has two advantages: It helps Acer keep the size and price down, and provides decent battery life. Acer is claiming that the laptop will be able to run for up to 8 hours using a 6 cell battery. I’ll believe that when I see it. I was lucky to get 5 hours out of the Aspire One 1410 with a single core CPU. Update: I forgot, the Acer Aspire 1410 has a lower capacity battery than the Acer Aspire 1810t. It’s one of the only differences between the two models. Hopefully Acer will release the AS1810TZ in the US with its high capacity battery instead of releasing a different model in the US this time.

The Acer Aspire AS1810TZ will ship with Windows 7 Home Premium, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, a webcam, and an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display. it’ll be available in black, blue, and brushed aluminum and have starting price of around $550 when it hits the streets on October 22nd. This probably explains why the Acer Aspire 1410 is now selling for as little as $400 some days (although it still has a list price closer to $450).

At $550 that’s an okay price when you consider the Toshiba (Dynabook MX/33 11.6 inch laptop with CULV processor ) in the story below this one is going for twice as much in Japan. Toshiba needs to get on the stick and realize CULV doesn’t mean you can ask the old prices for a laptop again.

The 1410 has a 4 cell battery and the 1810T/TZ have a 6 cell battery. Further, some of the other Timeline models that have been available in single and dual core configurations have had very similar battery life. The dual core model uses more power while crunching, but finishes tasks faster, so it basically balances out. So, 8 hours for a dual core model doesn’t seem like an outlandish claim.

The only 1410s I could find at newegg have 6-cell batteries.

I mispoke. 🙁 The 1410 definitely has a lower capacity battery than the 1810T / TZ that were sold in other counties (and rated for 8 hours). The 1410 has a 4400mAh battery. The 1810T/TZ has a 5600mAh battery.

That’s correct. They’re both 6 cell batteries, but the 1810T has a higher capacity version. I forgot about that when writing the post and I’ve updated the article to reflect the difference.

Brad–what did you think about the laptop’s thickness. From the profile pics I’ve seen, it looks a little thick. Max thickness is 1.2″ but of course some of it is much thinner. Hard to get a real sense from the pics. Wondering what you thought.

The initial “netbook iteration of this form factor, the Acer AO751h, has a slim profile from front to back. However, when one opted for the six-cell battery, it’d stick out directly from the back a fair amount. I think Acer redesigned the six-cell battery for the newer Aspire 1410T and 1810TZ so that it now bulges out slightly from underneath the bottom surface. Yes, it makes for a slightly taller profile from the rear, but I’d imagine that it helps with cooling, typing ergonomics, and it should also make it easier to find a case or sleeve that fits it nicely.

The Acer Aspire 1410 didn’t seem substantially thicker than most netbooks,
although it was a bit wider thanks to the 11.6 inch screen.
