Packard Bell DOT M/U FT-020: Rebranded Acer Timeline 1810T/1410

Packard Bell has launched a CULV netbook, DOT M/U FT-020 that has a 11.6-inch screen and looks exactly like the Acer Aspire 1810T. Even the innards of this netbook are exactly like 1810T that is basically an Acer Aspire 751H with a more powerful processor and more RAM.

As mentioned earlier, it has an 11.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366×768. It uses SU3500 CULV processor that is more powerful than the Intel Atom processor. The SU3500 runs at 1.4GHz clock speed and has 3MB of cache memory. However, it is not as energy efficient as it gobbles up more power than Intel Atom N280 (2.5watts versus 5.5watts). Its GMA 4500 is also much more powerful and capable than Intel GMA 950 that comes in the most netbooks.

Just like the Timeline 1810T, it has 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, WiFi (Draft-N) and BT. It has HDMI port, 2 USB ports, 1 LAN port, earphone and microphone jacks and SDHC card reader.

Its 5600mAh battery promises 7 hours of runtime which not shabby at all for such powerful netbook

The 11.6” Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T netbook is now on sale in the US, but with a different name, Aspire 1410. This long-awaited model is different from the rest of the netbooks as it comes with an Intel ULV SU3500 (1.4GHz) processor, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD and GMA 4500MHD Graphics, none of which are found in regular netbooks. It also has a Webcam, draft-N wireless LAN, 6-cell battery and Vista Home Premium OS.

Keep in mind that SU3500 is more powerful than any Intel Atom processor made till date regardless of higher clock frequencies being possesed by the Atom processors. This also means that Vista would run much better on 1810T than on any Atom powered netbook.
