 The best and fastest netbook in the market July 1, 2010
Joao Victor O. Pinho (Brasilia, BRAZIL)
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Well, i had a Toshiba Mini NB205 that was an excellent netbook, very portable, resistent and had a beautiful appearance, I really liked this computer the internet and word worked razoably nice in this PC, but sometimes the internet conexion was a little too slow for me, and another sites, like [...] and [...] - that are very heavy sites, were extremly slow to download and that irritated me a lot. So, I decided to change for a new netbook, and when I discover this ACER ASPIRE 1830T with the new intel core i3 inside I got crazy. And now I am really happy with this little PC!!!
Pros: the 11.6 inch lcd screen is a lot better than the 10.1 inch ones, it makes lot more easier to see the internet or work with the Office. Using for long periods the 10.1 inch screen is very tiring for the eyes, and the 11.6 is the perfect size for a ultraportable notebook.
The computer is very fast, you can see any page in the internet with no problem. And the Windons 7 64 bits works like a breeze, it's sensational.
The built quality is very good, it really is a superior computer very beautiful and resistent.
The keyboard is very good, the letters have a really nice size and you can type on this for hours and hours. I really loved the full size left SHIFT button, what is extremelly annoing in others netbooks. The keyboard don't have problem of flex, maybe just a little bit but that's will not be notice or be a problem when typing. The Toshiba Mini NB205, that is one of the best netbook in the market has a lot more flex than this one that almost don't have flex at all.
The duration of battery is fantastic and even more for a i3 processor. I thought that just the processors n450 could have the capacity of lasting so much. Fortunatly I was wrong, and I discover that this machine can last longer than 6 hours of solid internet conexion.
The computer is very very thin, and light, and the best thing is that the battery don't come out of the machine, it just stay where it should be, with any part out from behind or down the netbook like the N205 da toshiba.
Cons: it could come with a minimum of 128 MB of dedicated Video Ram, But that's not a big deal because I will not play games in this little computer.
Another problem is that this don't come with 4 GB of RAM, it could be included because this computer is expensive, but the 3 GB works more than perferctly for me.
Well, finally I highly recommend this computer for ANYBODY, who wants portability, fast internet conexion, and long battery life.
Best Subnotebook in its class August 5, 2010
A Navas (Riverside, CA USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This review pertains only to the Core i3-330UM model.
Overall:
This notebook is perfect in every way for what I need: HDMI port for HDTVs, lightweight, good keyboard, decent trackpad, reasonably snappy processor (better than any Atom and I've read that it is better than Core 2 duo CULV processors in previous generation subnotebooks), and it fits into my backpack without adding too much weight. 11.6" is really the sweetspot of ultraportable notebook sizes.
Price, Battery Life:
The price is reasonable for what you get, but it does lack Bluetooth unless you get the i5 model, for $100 more (for which you also get 4GB ram and a 500GB Hard drive). Another bad thing is that it is almost twice as expensive as an Atom based netbook; its price can fetch a decent full-sized notebook. However, it outperforms those in every way and still maintains good battery life (5.5 hours at 50% brightness, with Firefox playing Pandora radio, outlook open, two pdfs open and an ipod charging). It is the perfect office mate when grading papers and I need a computer nearby to enter grades.
Keyboard and Trackpad:
The keyboard is really nice, even if the keys are flat. I was able to adjust to it because of its size. Many people complain about the trackpad, and I can see where they are coming from somewhat. However, I really think it is just too different from what they are used to. It feels a bit small, scratchy and sensitive, and the buttons are a bit too tough to click, but I was able to adjust to it within a few hours of consistent use. I have no problems with it now, and the multitouch functions work well, but it is up to the buyer if they like it or not.
Build Quality:
Sturdy and solid. The hinges aren't quite built like my 14.1" Lenovo from 2006, but I see the notebook lasting a long time. I am very pleased with the build of this notebook.
Conclusion:
This is the notebook to get if you desire good battery life, great performance, and most importantly, care about the 11.6" form factor. There are AMD based 11.6" models showing up to compete, but I like the Intel platform better because of battery life and performance, unless you want to talk about Thinkpad subnotebooks (without HDMI ports, sadly, and a $1200 pricetag).

This is an amazing little unit. Has done everything I have asked it to do under extreme conditions. Light weight and thin, fits into a carryon in a case with no problem. Screen size allows for multiple tasks better than 10s and 8s that I have used. Runs a little hot. THIS IS THE ONE.
 Great Ultraportable July 1, 2010
C. Crowder (Madison NJ)

Here is my review on the much anticipated new notebook from Acer, the Timeline 1830T-3927. This machine is a 11.6" ultraportable notebook equipped with the new Intel processor, the core i3-330um CPU, which is maufactured especially for smaller notebooks, 3 GB RAM and a 320 GB Hard Drive running on Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit
This notebook just arrived from Amazon the other day and I have only been using it for a couple of days but since there are very few reviews thus far on the 1830T, I thought I'd write one.
The overall build quality of this notebook seems to be very good, it is made of very tough light weight plastic and has a black matte finish on the outside which is very sharp. The HD screen is designed for 720p viewing and seems to have a very sharp and bright display, this resolution is of course ther best you can expect on a smaller 11.6 ultraportable. I have seen many displays on 11.6 models and I believe the 1830T has the best screen that I have seen. The keyboard on the 1830T does not seem to be full size as the typing experience is comfortable but somewhat cramped. The keys have a very nice feel and good feedback but I was disaapointed to discover that the keyboard has allot of flex and seems a bit flimsy, something I did not expect on a $599 notebook.( This is why I am giving the 1830T 4 stars instead of five.)In addition, the trackpad, although comfortable seems very small. The mouse buttons are excellent.
The ports on this machine are very good with a nice selection, certainly all you will need on an ultraportable, of course there is not optical drive as Gateway is the only manufacturer I know of that is equipping an 11.6 notebook with a DVD drive.
In addition to the excellent screen, the real strength of this notebook is the new and powerful Core i3-330um CPU. ( Note that there is an even more powerful model equipped with the Core i5 but it retails on Amazon for $699,a bit much to pay for an 11.6 ultraportable in my opinion.). The Core i3 on this machine seems very fast and responsive and seems to handle just about anything you throw at it. This CPU is noticably faster than the other Intel ultra low voltage processors currently on the market and certainly much faster than earlier Acer models like the 1410. With the new Core i3 CPU, you will lose a bit in battery time but the speed more than compensates for this. I expect the 1830T-3927 to last about 5 hours on a charge.
Overall , this is one of the best, if not the best 11.6 ultraportables out there but you will have to pay a premium for it, mostly because of the new Intel processor. As I said, if not for the average keyboard, this notebook would be easily 5 stars.
Great Laptop July 6, 2010
Joseph Caldwell (Canonsburg, PA USA)
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Pros:
Thin, light, screen is bright and has good color, screen's high resolution makes up for its small size, processor is powerful enough for general use, doesn't get too hot, great battery life (6+ hours), great port selection, good keyboard
Cons:
Touch-pad isn't well demarcated from the wrist rest making it too easy to drift into no man's land, the screen's vertical viewing angles could be better
Overall I really like this laptop. It boots quickly and has generally snappy performance. It isn't the fastest at some processor intensive tasks like compressing audio and video, but that's to be expected for a low voltage processor. For general use like web browsing and watching videos it is perfectly adequate. I'll gladly accept some reduced performance given that this laptop doesn't get nearly as hot as other laptops I have used and it has fantastic battery life. I can get over 6 hours with the wifi on and the screen set to half brightness.
The screen looks nice, has a good resolution, and isn't too reflective. The vertical viewing angles, however, aren't the best but they are hardly prohibitive to use. Probably the most annoying thing about this laptop is the touch-pad. It's not terrible; I just wish it was easier to tell by feel when you have left the touch sensitive area. Not a deal breaker, but annoying nonetheless. Fortunately the keyboard is great. It isn't missing any important keys and is comfortable to use. I also really like the large port selection for such a small laptop. I've had larger laptops that had only two USB ports.
The thing I like most about this laptop is its portability. After owning a couple of big and bulky laptops over the years, it's fantastic to carry around this little machine. If you are looking for a solid ultra-portable laptop, you won't be disappointed with this one.
