Reviews for the Acer Aspire 1810TZ
Long life Acer has had great success with the slim, light notebooks in its Aspire Timeline series. Having previously offered models ranging from 13” to 15”, Acer is now closing the gap between notebooks and netbooks with the 11.6” models of its Aspire Timeline 1810 series. While the 1810T has a single-core processor, we tested an 1810TZ with a dual-core processor.

Archive.org versionThe 1810TZ is a very capable ultraportable at an affordable price. Its endurance is excellent, its keyboard a pleasure to use, and it offers a fair amount of speed for a such a small and inexpensive system. However, at $579, it’s just $20 cheaper than the 1810T, which has an even faster processor and the same battery life. If you don’t mind sacrificing a few hours of runtime, the equally totable Toshiba Satellite T135D offers double the graphics performance and a larger 13-inch display for $599. Still, the 1810TZ offers a nice combination of power and portability for less than $600.

Archive.org versionAlthough it’s small enough to qualify as a netbook, the Acer Aspire 1810TZ is better described as a small, portable laptop rather than a netbook. Netbooks are usually inexpensive, have small screens and relatively poor processing power. They are portable, good for surfing the web and running office applications, but can be uncomfortable and frustrating to use. A superb computer that is priced very competitively.

Archive.org versionSo you want a small notebook, but you're put off by the average netbook's puny graphics, relatively low res screen and limited-horsepower Atom processor. What do you do? The Aspire 1810TZ mini notebook delivers Atom-smashing performance in a package that's no less portable than a typical 10in netbook. And with a significant battery life boost into the bargain. But while it's cheap for an ultra-portable, you do pay a wee bit extra for netbook-plus technology.

Archive.org version2008 was the year of the netbook; 2009 is the year of the 'affordable' ultra-portable laptop. It seems self-evident now, but netbooks showed Intel, AMD and other manufacturers that there was a sincere demand for affordable, portable laptops. Netbooks fall short of fulfilling that demand, but this year has seen a number of products aim to fill the gap. If you're after laptop level performance with netbook levels of battery life, look no further than the 1810TZ. We hope others will follow the example, but in the meantime this is the CULV laptop we'd buy.

Archive.org versionThis sleek ultraportable offers better performance than netbooks and nearly nine hours of battery life. In the $599 Aspire 1810T, Acer has found a platform where Intel’s ULV processor makes the most sense. In an 11.6-inch system, it provides a marked improvement over Atom chips without sacrificing endurance. However, in choosing between this system and an Ion-powered netbook like the HP Mini 311, you’ll have to decide what’s more important: graphics power, or CPU and battery performance. If you’re willing to pay a $200 premium over the typical netbook, the 1810T’s extra muscle, slick design, comfortable keyboard, and all-day battery life make it well worth the money.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.
SU4100: Entry-level dual core processor for slim and light subnotebooks. Due to the Pentium name, the CPU may have less power saving features than Core 2 Duo processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
