Acer Aspire 1810T/1410 User REVIEW – Plus and Minus points about this powerful netbook/mini-Laptop

Acer Aspire 1810T (Aspire 1410 in US) is a Acer Aspire 751H netbook on steroids. It has a more powerful CULV processor and GPU packed into small, lightweight package.

Cusem at aspironeforum bought himself an Acer Aspire 1810T and he seems to be pretty impressed with it. According to his review, here is what is cool about it:

(+) Powerful than the Intel Atom processor equipped netbooks
(+) The 6-cell battery does not protrude out the way it does in Acer Aspire D250/D150/A150 models. It sits completely flushed with the casing.
(+) Some key flex when using the keyboard
(+) Feels more like a notebook due to its high resolution rather than a netbook bearing low-resolution screen
(+) 1366×768 pixel resolution
(+) Even after upgrading it to 2GB, it felt slow with the Vista. Install Windows 7 instead
(+) Phenomenal battery life (7-8h+)
What is not cool about the Acer Aspire 1810T notebook/netbook:

(-) Slightly loose power button
(-) Grainy touchpad
(-) Less vivid colors on the display
(-) No sleeve/pouch/case included

ARM netbook coming to AT&T

AT&T is soon going to offer ARM based netbooks running Linux OS. Glen Lurie, President of emerging devices for AT&T says,

“There are a lot of people who will dive in and build netbooks, including folks like cellular or wireless OEMs who never built a computer before. There will be a lot of innovation around what a netbook looks like and what the use cases are, and we will see this evolve very quickly,”

He thinks that the ARM based netbooks would do just fine as people are doing their work via Cloud-based applications and thus do not need a lot of horsepower in their netbooks. He also showed keen interest in the MIDs, which he refers to as “smartphones on steroids.”

AT&T is already selling four subsidized netbooks: Acer Aspire One, Dell Mini 9, Dell Mini 12 and LG X110.

PS: Lurie also manages AT&T’s relationship with Apple to sell the iPhone in the U.S.
