Acer Aspire 1830T Timeline X Review


A well balanced notebook with good battery life and the touchpad is not as good.
If you want a netbook costs due to the size and incredible battery life, but you need a better video performance multitasking and offers a cheap netbook Acer Aspire 1830T can be the perfect laptop for you.


Design and construction

Acer X Series is the latest generation of thin and light notebooks designed for Acer to deliver solid performance and long battery life in a surprisingly lightweight package. At first glance, is easy to confuse the Acer Aspire 1830T a dozen people have shown in recent years. It seems, however, can be misleading.


Build quality is quite good, despite the small size of this laptop. The combination of a relatively thick, opaque plastic and brushed aluminum palmrests black notebook out of a solid feel and shows almost no signs of slowing. The screen is securely closed a lot of tension in the hinge of the display inside. The protective cover of the screen is enough coverage to bend light and distort appeared on the Toshiba satellite p300 battery when you press on the back. The opening screen, you can set the hinges must be valid for a long period of high tension that prevents the display of an open failure. The body of the laptop seems to be well designed with minimal chassis flex and creak of plastic.


One of the areas of design, which struck me at the bottom of the laptop. The expansion bay allows access to hard disk, optional WWAN and WLAN card, and twice the RAM. The roof is supported by the five live alone (my only complaint), then you have to spend a minute or two lost all the screws before you can share your hard disk or add more RAM. That said, I am always pleased when the producers make it easier for homeowners to upgrade their laptops.



Ports and Features

Port selection on the Aspire 1830T is pretty standard for a netbook or ultra modern 11-inch. Acer offers three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, LAN and audio ports. It also includes a SDHC card slot for expanding internal memory, or simply download images from your camera during travel. As we begin to see USB 3.0 in the conventional laptops and many more USB 3.0 external hard drive on the market just like Acer has found a way to at least one USB 3.0 port on the laptop $ 900. Here is a brief summary of the Aspire 1830T:


The screen and speakers

11.6-inch LED-backlit screen Aspire 1830T as well as many other glossy screens we've seen in a 11-inch HP pavilion dv2000 battery . 1366x768 resolution, ideal for surfing the Internet, editing photos, or watch movies in high definition 720p. Color and contrast are due to the glossy LED-backlit funds. There was a real contrast ratio of 206:1 in our laboratory and a maximum brightness of 168 nits (light enough for indoor use and bright enough for outdoor use, while the sun shines directly on the filter screen, if the slope of the screen forward or back the colors start to appear weak or very washed horizontal viewing angles better; .. remain visible up to about 60 degrees, where the reflections on the screen to dominate what is shown.

Built-in speakers shot sounded metallic and knees. The speaker had no low-frequency voice and just a touch of mid-range. It's nice to hear the warning window, or watching a video on YouTube, but not for sharing music or movie in a small room. Orientation speaker creates problems if you have the headphones on the bed and pressed against the thick clothes in her lap. I can easily block the speaker with the legs, which droplets. In short, music lovers would be better to use a good pair of headphones or connect your laptop to your stereo via the HDMI output.


The keyboard and touchpad

Nearly full-screen keyboard on the Aspire 1830T is convenient to write, but got mixed reviews from our editors. Acer has decided to take a big Chiclet-style (also called island-style) keyboard with the keys a little bigger than what we have seen in many HP g60 battery with island-style keyboards. The result is less space between each key that can lead to more errors. Another potential problem with this type of keyboard is that people with long nails can get caught on the edge of the nail buttons. In any case, the keyboard looks pretty good and had only a small deflection or "bounce" under great pressure to write. The keys are a rough matte finish on top of that increases traction on the finger. The individual key is a soft, blunt as a click when pressed.


The touchpad on the 1830T is a good model with the sensitivity of the Alps and upset some delay in making quick movements. The biggest problem is the paint on the surface of contact which is separated by a clear line in palmrests. So, it's easy to accidentally move the finger touch pad while moving the cursor, and then pop the pointer on a completely different place when the finger on the touchpad. On a happier note, the touchpad is a model capable of things that you can use finger gestures such as "pinching" or "spin" control screen zoom or rotate the picture. Both touchpad buttons are very low and when pressed, the sample was mixed buttons that lead to finger caught more than once.


Performance and benchmarks

Acer Aspire 1830T features an Intel Core i7-680 1.46GHz ultra low voltage processors from Intel Turbo Boost function at speeds up to 2.53 GHz Translation: Although thin and light notebook, netbook looks like a much stronger the $ 350 netbook.

In fact, at the time of writing (November 2010) Acer Aspire 1830T-68U118 offers the fastest processor was the 11-inch Compaq HP nc6120 batterywe've tested. However, it is natural to expect a high level of performance for the price of $ 900 for this configuration. For this reason, it is useful to recall that the Aspire 1830T is two times faster than the new Apple MacBook Air 11.6-inch ($ 999) to run our benchmarks wPrime the rate of synthesis of the results of your computer's CPU . The overall system performance is also considerably faster than the Atom netbook heart single or double, without delay in the Windows environment.

500 5400 GB hard drive is fast enough to load quickly basic applications like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, but if you regularly open large files like high resolution images or video files in high definition, we recommend 7200 in a disk or SSD performance. However, the capacity of 500 GB of storage should be more than enough for most consumers who want to store family photos and music library.

The only apparent weakness in the armor under Compaq HP 6710b battery performance of integrated graphics. Yes, Intel GPU provides high definition video smoothly (much better than you get from a cheap netbook). Yes, support for Microsoft DirectX 10 games means you'll get better gaming performance of a netbook. However, the Acer Aspire 1830T provides only part of the game's features, including an Alienware M11x notebook ($ 799) or above 11-inch MacBook Air from Apple.


In summary, the Aspire 1830T is absolutely fantastic for general use, but falls woefully short in terms of games for $ 900 laptop.
