Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T Thread

Hi All,
I have two of the 1810T-8638 They have bluetooth. I bought them from Buy.com for $611. with free shipping. I just needed them now. I'll buy the 1830 when it comes out if all looks good. This little machine is GREAT I run PS CS4 and other image programs just fine.
Cheers, Terry

 

notebook.de is taking pre-orders on an i5 1830T as well. Their estimate is 2-3 weeks out. 800 Euro with a platter hard drive, but that was expected. Model number is 1830T-52U4G32n. At least that gives me somethign to search on, and an indicaiton of expected timeline.

Errr, I just realized most of this information was picked-up several pages back. The 2-3 week timeline is all that was (possibly) new. Sorry.

 

2-3 Weeks..... WOW....... :yes:

You got no clue how much anticipation i have for this notebook....!!!

 

800 Euro? Ouch.. Even minus all the taxes Europe gets hit with I don't think we can expect anything less then $800 USD (roughly 20% tax estimate), which seems like a damn steep price.

I'm hoping an SSD model comes out for cheaper...

 

Yeah, I know. I would be happy with $800 if it had an SSD, but with a hard drive, I sure wish it were $100 less as I will still have an SSD to buy. Of course the last sub-notebook I bought was $2,200 (IBM X41) and a new X201thinkpad would set me back $1,500 at least, so I'll not complain too much. The thinkpad keyboard isn't worth more than $500 to me.

I have no idea if that 2-3 weeks is true, or when they will get to the U.S. but I am hopeful as well.

 

LOL! Yes, I am, it must be why I like it.

I just wish it had the specs of the 1810-8638. I guess I'm going to go with that one instead, better specs and lower price. I guess I'll have to skin it.

 

Just found an even more expensive 1830T model on notebook.de :

I don't really see the difference, except for the price : 879 Euros!!

edit1 : you can even add it to your shopping cart, with no mention of 2 or 3 weeks for availability... Could it be in stock??

edit2 : they added this : Availability: in about 1 week - preorder possible

edit3 : same for the core i3 model, now priced at 729 Euros

edit 4 : as toctoc suggested below, they probably have 3g capabilities of some sorts...

 

i suggest they will have UMTS support..

 

when does the 1830T come out?

 

haven't you been reading the posts above you?? possibly in a week or two... in Germany at least : )

 

Looks like a few weeks now Ruriko.

I got the 1810T-8638 for $540.00. I couldn't pass it up. I guess I'll have to buy a skin to sexy it up.

 

Can I ask you where you got this amazing deal? I don't know if I'll be able to hold off my purchase until the 1830T comes out...

 

I know! I couldn't either.

I got it through Buy.com on their eBay store for $599.00. If you go through Bing you get 48.00 cash back (8%) and I am enrolled in eBay bucks which is another $12.00 back for a grand total of $540.00. If they go lower than that I'll be sad but I think it was a good deal. Good deal won out over sexy red.

I think they just increased their price by 79 euro, probably because a lot of pre-order interest. It will take a few weeks on market for the price to settle down again. I remember when the Gen2 X-25M came out. Everybody that had stock jacked the price by $50, then when availability started to match demand it dropped back. I had to wait about 2 weeks for a back-order from Amazon at a non-inflated price. I think the fact that they did this is a good indicaiton that it really is only a week or 2 away.

 

I also see that the cheaper configurations (550 Euro) with the mysterious U5400 have disappeared from the site.

 

I found this vid-review which appears to be from a trade show:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4478729/acer_aspire_timelinex_1830t_subnotebook/

 

This might cause and/or explain the delays...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/24/intel-arrandale-shortages-leading-to-premium-prices-potential-p/

and as far as notebook.de goes, only the 1830T with the core i5 is left on their store... 799 euros as it was, 2 or 3 weeks for availability.

 

We already knew this.

 

This already posted?

^^Yes.

Rumors on ulv Sandy Bridge and ulv Arrandale:

 

When I read that post I got what I call the "Vista feeling"...That maybe I should skip that thing(UM Processors) and wait for the next generation to come along.

 

You guys are so awesome Looks like getting the 1810T was a good decision.

 

Now that you got the 1810t you should also be reading this thread:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=424213&page=373

and this thread:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=419117&page=128

 

Not as bad as Vista. I think that the next generation could be a game changes, but unlike XP/Vista, the i520um if/when available should offer significant improvements over the Core2 UM processors - just that the jump to the generation after will have even greater improvements, at least in the low-power demand area. If you have an 1810 in hand, waiting for the generation after 1830X (1840Y?) makes sense, but if you NEED a machine in the near future and have a choice of an 1810 or 1830, I would sure take the 1830. I installed XP over Vista on several machines, and finally, with Windows 7 X64 I have seen a reason to replace XP on my main machines, but on an older slow 32-bit machine, XP would still be my preferance.

 

my decision to buy a 1810t, wait for the 1830t, or even buy a 1810t and wait for sandy bridge subnotebooks changes on a daily basis - ha! and i don't know who to trust and what the most rational decision would be in this case.

 

Let others buy it first be the quinea pigs,let them report their impressions and make an informed decision.I am pretty sure that soon will see detailed reviews in notebook sites.In the final analysis and after you have as many facts as you can you will have to trust yourself and your judgement.

 

schwuppe, if you can afford to wait I would suggest doing so. Unfortunately I couldn't; I need my "netbook" for June 13 and I can't spend over $600.00.

Getting the 1810T was definitely the best choice for me, but I would have loved to be able to wait for a price drop. thundernet, thank you for the links.

 

The main problem is that the 1830 seems to be almost €300 more expensive.
You can get a 1810 with decent specs for about €470, which is only a bit more expensive than a crappy netbook. For the €800 the 1830 seem to cost, you can a 3820 which is much much more powerful and weighs only 300g more.

It could happen that Intel simply cancels the Arrandale CULV completely and offers the Sandy Brindge CULV a bit earlier.

 

Hello there,

I was thinking on buying this laptop, but I've a doubt here.

I intend to get this laptop to school everyday. And for that reason (school) I'd like to know if this laptop can run software like:

AutoCAD, ORCad, Multisim, MATLad, Visual Studio, etc.

How is the performance with those softwares? Does any one can tell me? Or tried?

Now regarding to the laptop temperatures, what values do you have? Idle and full?

Does it heat a lot? The fan is audible? I don't like to hear the fan working..

Now, it is possible to change the CPU (for example to SU9400?) or is embbed inthe motherboard? The memory are embbed too or we can change it? (for example to 2x2GB)

For applications that required the GPU usage, like studioMAX, for example, or others, the laptop can do the job?

To finish, when the 1830T will come out?

Best regards

 

I suppose you would like to know about the release date...there are a few possibilities:
- in 2-3 weeks...some retailers seem to offer the top versions with a shipping date of 2-3 weeks
- later this year...the only version offered is the one with the i5-520UM and it seems that there is a big shortage even for normal Arrandales
- Never...if Intel is really not very successful in building Arrandale CULV as an article stated, it might be possible that they will scrap the whole idea and go for the next architecture

 

Hi there, okei thnks about the release date

Now tell me about the other questions that I made

Best regards

 

As for the power of the 1830, its really hard to tell, the i5 and i7 (if there will be an i7 variant) models will be quite capable, they seem to be more powerful than the SU9400 based units. The entry models, built around the i3 and Pentium U series, might be still faster or could also be slower...no CPUs seem to tested yet.

One thing seems to sure however, the 1830 will be almost 1,5x more expensive at start than the current 1810, which means that you might get a full fledged i3 or even i5 notebook for the same price as a 1830.

was ist besser jetzt zu kaufen?
1810T
oder

den 1830T

Danke,..,

 

Please refer to the forum rules...only english...not everyone is fluent in german

By the way like I wrote earlier if you only look at the facts (apart from the price...) the 1830 is a much better option...
The problems are however:
- Its not available
- If it is available it will be quite expensive

 

Please answer.

 

Seeing as the Core i5-520UM is not even out in any current notebooks, how would we know? People have run Photoshop on netbooks, so I'm sure your software will work fine, just a bit slower than you might be used too.

 

But I'm refering to the 1810T.Answer based on the 1810T system, not in the 1830T.

Best regards

 

Same thing, if you are used to using your software on computers with faster processors, the 1810t will be slow (but not super slow). And you should have posted this question in the 1410/1810 thread.

 

Then I suggest you ask the question in the 1810T thread.

 

Then I wait more lieber if 1830T there, but much too expensively., 500 euros would be okay however for 700 euros is much money


into Germany 1830T come only in June 2010,

 

Hi guys, what is your opinion - buy 1810TZ with this spec: Intel Pentium Dual-Core SU4100, RAM 4GB, 320GB HDD, WiFi, BlueTooth, Webcamera, HDMI, Windows 7 Home Premium for 400euro or buy 1830T i5 for 800euro..... I personaly cant see a point in buying 1830T for double the money....

by the way I can see only i5 1830T on notebook.de now...

 

I'm currently at the same decision...the 1830 is so expensive, you can get a really good 3820 for it, which is much more powerful and not much heavier, but I don't really need that much power and more importantly don't want to spend €800.

If the 1830 will be really that expensive, it will be probably not much of a big deal.

 

But where in europe (preferebly germany ;-) ) do you get a 1810 for about 400 Eur?

 

probably a 1810TZ... and before taxes apply...

 

According to this report Intel is planning to skip Arrandale CULV and go straight to Snady Bridge CULV.....

However i wont believe this to be true unless untill i saw a Official Statement from Intel....

 

The article says they might skip them, which is not true since you can buy a Fujitsu right now with the Core i7-640UM. Also, a 1.46GHz Core i7-680UM is coming in Q4 2010.

 

I would definitely go with the 1810.

It's price is excellent now and it's an awesome machine.

The 1830 - at twice the price - too much about it is unknown.

It's early incantations will have issues - they always do.

Since the known 1810 has so many positives vs. the (relatively) unknown 1830 would be a risky purchase.

And, since I am already the very satisfied owner of an 1810, the next netbook/notebook I purchase will have usb3.0 and bluetooth3.0 and will be manufactured by one of two companies beginning with "A".

My thoughts only.

 

Hey guys,

Anyone (specially guys in germany) pre-ordered a 1830T from notebook.de as yet..???

 

no. did you?
