Acer Aspire 1410 and 1810T Timeline (single core) 11.6" Thread

3810t got 334 points in Pass Mark
So 1:0 for 1810t

Edit:
Travelmate 8371(SU9400) 416 points
Not that much faster for the price if you ask me.

Edit2:
And just for the record, Aspire One 751 165 points.

Edit3:
Vaio TT 360 points.

 

Is it quiet?

 

Yes very quiet. Not as quiet as 751 which is almost impossible to hear.

But during normal work it's almost totally quiet.

your video is *cut*... need to see more...!!!

 

I know, it's the Canon IXUS 40 that suddenly stops. I don't know why it does that, there's plenty of space.

I'll up video 2 asap.

 

wayting for it

even though i just got my 3810t-6775... im still interested in the 11.6 incher

 

Phill, look instruction manual for the Ixus 40 ... there are some time recording limitations depending on format, fps and card memory size ...

and BTW, can you show o list how are rating other systems from the table of PassMark to have an idea of how the 1810T is performing ??, just for reference ... for the people like me that we are not familiar with the PassMark benchmarks !

Thank you for your feedback and effort !!

Cheers

 

oh man! I can't wait for more info from Phil.

I don't know how you can do an unboxing video. If I had a nice computer like that, I would just stop it and skip all that warranty info and all the other junk in the box. You go so slowly with it too, I would be all crazy if I had been eagerly awaiting something like that!

EDIT:
so it seems like the battery may not stick out at the back? from the pictures it looks like it could be flush.
I really like the blog, it keeps the real info seperate from all the questions we ask here.

 

Manual? I probably lost that 4 years ago

It's 512MB Kingston card which should be good for four minutes. But I can only use 1 minute. I tried reformatting the card but that didn't work.

If anyone has ideas let me know. Google didn't help me yet.

 

My old cannon used to do that. It has to do with the buffer. The older canons weren't able to write directly to the media with video.

So, it stored what ever it could to the buffer (ie. 1 minute) then stops recording. Then transfers the buffer to the card.

Not much you can do...

 

Just look at my post above Also www.notebookjournal.de uses Pass Mark.

PS. I'll be trying to get a new camera as soon as possible.

 

Thank you very much for doing a review Phil.

 

You can download the english manual from here:

I am quite new to making videos and reviews so constructive advice/comments are very welcome. Please rate the video on Youtube as well.

Thanks that helped! I now put it on 15fps and get much longer videos.

I'm uploading a 4 minute video at the moment.

 

does it have the latest bios version? on acer's support site there are two versions - 3108 and 3113

 

New video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKPs...wthread.php?p=5202105&feature=player_embedded

I'm saying in the video that there's a protective layer over the screen but I found there's not.

I don't know. Any important differences?

 

i have no idea, just noticed it

 

The BIOS is 3108

 

It's so lovely! That whole netbook hype was just there to be the catalyst for the birth of this great piece of tech. Ok, I exaggerate a bit, but you get the point

 

yeah i too think this is the perfect balance.. and really cheap!

 

If we get fan control to work and put in a fast SSD it will be a stealth super mini notebook.

 

This has no leaf button for the ePower management. And on the US site the 1810T drivers have 3G and the eRecovery while the 1410 does not.

 

I don't think you're exaggerating

It IS so lovely. It makes netbooks look silly and other notebooks look extremely overpriced.

 

Good stuff Phil, keep it coming

Any chance you could upload the Passmark results to the online database? Also why is there no 3D result in the screenshot?

 

I'll try to do that later.

I'm not sure why there's no 3d, it gave some kind of complaint. Forgot what it was. I'll rerun it again.

 

Regarding 3D performance, there might be some room for improvement. The 1410 Celeron version got higher scores. 3.4 at Game 3D and something more than 4 at Aero in WEI IIRC. Maybe it can be improved with an other Intel driver.

Edit: Or try disabling Intel power management in the graphics adapter control panel.

 

I'm curious about the video playback performance which is what I'm going to test now.

the speakers are quite good by the way!

 

Good to hear about the speakers, my current laptop definitely lacks "oomph".

Congrats on 10k posts by the way

 

Thanks Well I wouldn't exactly say "oomph" (bass), but they sound very nice considering the size of the laptop. They're a lot better than my 15" Asus A6G or Samsung NC10.

 

Do we Know if this notebook is overclockable. I am wondering if we could overclock this computer to be able to play HD Flash.

 

I would like to know too, but I don't know the clockgen.

Two downsides: the touchpad buttons are on the loud side, 1080p playback is smooth but with 100% CPU utlization (or I haven't found the right settings).

 

Try ICS9LPRS365BGLF, SLG505YC264BT(can be used for SLG8SP513VTR, uses registers that are undocumented in the datasheet) and RTM875T-587.
If SetFSB doesn't give an error when clicking on GetFSB and shows the right values on one of them it could be the right one.

Edit:
Also 751h users had problems with some SetFSB versions, the version with -88 in the name worked(ICSLPRS365BGLF)

 

SLG505YC264BT seems to work, but when I slighty increase the upper slider the system becomes unstable. I can not open control panel anymore.

Neither SetFSB nor RMClock show an increased frequency.

 

More Chinese Acer-:
http://benyouhui.it168.com/thread-985230-1-1.html

 

Does decreasing FSB give a different result?

You should use CPU-Z for checking the frequency, it's the only one that is accurate.

Edit:
Sorry I mixed up CPUID and CPU-Z, it's late. So CPU-Z is accurate!

 

Any retailers in Canada have these yet?

 

@Phil

Sometimes the PC doesn't like the way in which SetFSB changes things, but
if you have some experience with directly changing registers you could try SetFSB in diagnosis mode and look at the table in this datasheet on page 4
http://www.silego.com/resources/pdf/xSLG8UM540r03_10232007.pdf
The Bus speed is 166MHz, right?
So register 14 bit6 to bit2 should be 00011(in the Bin field it would look like this:00001100 with all 8bits)
I would try lower values first like 144MHz that would be 11001(Bin field: 01100100)
When changing values you have to select the offset first, in this case 0Eh(14) change the binary value, click update and click apply.

Edit:
One thing I forgot, bit 7 must be set to 1 to allow software clocking
Bit 0 and 1 could be set to 1 or 0 by default, it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be changed anyway, I mark them as X

Default: 000011XX
144MHz 111001XX
172MHz 101011XX
175MHz 110011XX

 

I'm going to get mine from the states. The Canadian models will undoubtedly have bi-lingual keyboards.

 

Very nice review Phil, thank you!

Have the official U.S models and prices been announced yet? If the SU3500 model really will be $450-500, it should be a big hit and I believe many may spend the little extra to get these instead of netbooks with the much higher performance increase.

I also hope the dual-core model will not be much more expensive, hopefully $100 more maximum.

If these models are quiet and do not run hot, I may replace my TZ with them, it is unacceptable that my Vaio TZ with an ultra low voltage processor runs hot enough on the bottom to burn my hand and loud even with web surfing or flash viewing.

 

Pre-order an Acer 1410 from J&R for $405 shipped
& no tax most states after 10% Microsoft Bing Search cash back.

Hurry, hurry!

(without Bluetooth according to recent Acer America messages at these sites)

 

I read all the posts and it seems that not much was said about the LED LCD screen.That the laptop is available for preorder at 3 stores.Shouldn't the price go down when it hits Amazon,etc. and B&M stores ?

 

So has anyone been able to confirm the 62.16 W 5600 mAh 6-cell Li-ion battery pack on the 1410? It looks like this is what the 1810T has based on review but it is possible that the 1410 has a smaller battery pack. I think I can live without the BT because of all of the cheap, tiny dongles especially at around $400 shipped. I'm not willing to wait another month for BT and a possible $550 price tag since I don't care about 3G. Someone on SlickDeals contacted an Acer Rep but I'm not sure who to e-mail.

 

Thanks for your help but that's getting a bit too complicated for me. I'm happy with the 1.4GHz for now.

 

What codecs/player are you using and what are the specifics of the file you are trying to play? Bitrate and all that.

 

Passmark performance ratings:

Acer 1810T - 358
Acer 751 (Atom z520) - 165
Asus 1000HE (Atom N270) - 235
Sony TT (SU9300)- 360

MPC and Cyberlink. Tried CoreAVC and Cyberlink Codec. I'll be updating the review soon.

I think it may have to do with Vista.

 

I am guessing you are shocked because of how close the scores are between the Acer and Vaio yet the Acer is a fraction of the price? However, the Vaio has a dual core processor, does Passmark factor that into account?

Despite that, $450-500 is a great price for this Acer and I feel its almost too good to be true, it will definitely hurt the sale of some netbooks, some netbooks such as from Samsung are the exact same price as this Acer, why get them now? And with other netbooks, just pay $50-100 more and you get a much more capable ultraportable. There has to be a catch, aside from no Bluetooth.

 

Some of the tests in Passmark are multitasking.

The SU9300 CPU in the TT will outperform the SU3500 by quite a margin. But the 2.5" hard drive in the 1810T is a lot faster than the 1.8" drive in the TT, making the score equal again. ( I presume this is the reason)
