Reviews for the Acer Aspire 1830T-3721

Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
Acer’s TimelineX series – itself a development of the Timeline range – is reasonably mature now, and the design language has evolved into a slick, handsome line-up of variously sized notebooks. The TimelineX AS1830T-68U118 is the smallest on offer, at 11.6-inches, and is a roughly 1-inch thick slice of black brushed aluminum. It’s lightweight, too, at 3.1-pounds, and feels sturdy and well-built.

Acer's TimelineX 1830T may look very similar to their Aspire One 721 netbook but it offers a much greater experience and at very affordable prices for an ultraportable. Performance is strong thanks to the new Core 2010 ultra-low voltage processor. It is certainly a very capable ultraportable but it does have a few downsides including a less then optimal webcam and a trackpad that can be extremely difficult.

An affordable ultraportable that's long on workaday performance but iffy on input ergonomics.

It's easy to mistake the Acer Aspire 1830T-3721 for a netbook, as the 11.6-inch widescreen and 3-pound frame are features of one. However, beyond its looks lies one of Intel's newest CULV processors, which is fast enough to please any performance enthusiast, while battery efficient enough to last through a multi-legged flight. If you need a bigger screen, better battery life, and a sleeker frame, the Asus UL80VT-A1 is the better pick and even more formidable when it upgrades to the new Core processors.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


430M:

The Core i5-430M is a middle class dual core CPU that features only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.26-2.53 GHz (Turbo Mode). Furthermore, VT-d, trusted Execution and AES features are missing in the 430M. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 500-733 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
