Acer Timeline 1810tz out and priced

Saw a couple of units of the Acer Timeline 1810tz last month in VirraMall but this week, most of the PC shops in malls are already carrying them.

The specs and price are pretty impressive for a CULV and the unit I reviewed before was bought in HK last November for $750PHP 44,014INR 63,562EUR 714CNY 5,459 so I was surprised to see it’s selling for Php26,900USD 458INR 38,860EUR 437CNY 3,338 in stores.

Specs include an Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 at 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Intel GMA 4500M (796MB @ 1366Ã—768), WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, HDMI port and Bluetooth.

Great blend of price, specs and portability! Mukhang sulit na sulit talaga. Now this looks like a real netbook killer to me :)

I like!

I wonder how long until Core i CULVs will come out and make this obsolete, though.

I have a feeling this was priced wrong earlier, which is why some stores carry it now at 33.5k, with only marginally better specs.

I thiink the 1201n is better when it comes to graphics.. here’s the benchmark of their GPUs.

Acer Timeline 1810tz
– Intel GMA 4500M = 965

Asus 1201N
– Nvidia ION (LE) = 3002

Other GPUs
– Intel GMA 3150 = 303
– Intel GMA X3100 = 805
– Intel GMA X4500 HD = 1235
– ATI Radeon 3200 HD = 2411
– ATI Radeon X1270 = 983
