    I had originally planned to get an HP Mini 311, but the Timeline 1810 seems like I'd be getting much more for the money, even with weaker video capabilities. The problem is I'm having incredible difficulty finding any reviews or user feedback on the 1810.

    How is the video playback on the 1810? Can it do HD flash with or without v10.1? Likewise, I'm not really a PC gamer at all, but I do enjoy playing Civ 4 once in a while - think it could run on an 1810?

    What's bootup/shutdown time for Windows 7?

    How is it in terms of noise and heat?

    How's the keyboard? That's another big complaint I had with the Mini, the keyboard feels very cheap and breakable.

    What is Acer customer support like? Are they easy to get answers from? Are they willing to fix things, or is it an argument even under warranty?

    lastly: where's the best place to get a Timeline? It doesn't look like Acer sells them directly.

    Seriously mate?

    There is a topic with around 150 pages about the 1810T!!!

    No need to open a new thread, just browse through the forum

    That topic is for people with questions/problems about their specific unit. I don't have one yet.

    If you cared enough to read through some of the pages at least, you would see that most of them have multiple answers about the questions you made! :)

    Reading through the topic, not finding many answers.

    I think you're SOL until after the holidays. Just about everywhere is sold out.
