Acer Aspire 1830T – new 11.6 inch mini laptop ready to impress
The bigger a laptop is, the more powerful it can be. That’s a rule we could rely for in the last years, but that doesn’t mean potent hardware could not be found in compact devices. However, that was possible sacrificing the price aspect, but not anymore. Acer just announced their Aspire TimelineX 1830T will enter the market in June, with some power and a competitive price.
First, i have to tell that this mini laptop will come with an 11.6 inch display, thus it will be light and compact enough to carry around. But, unlike most 11.6 inch netbooks available at the moment, it will pack new generation ULV hardware from Intel, one able to allow good performance levels, while not sacrificing battery life and while not cutting and big hole in your budget.
So, let’s see what will the Acer Aspire 1830T offer in terms of specs:
- Intel Core i3 or Intel Core i5 (the i5-520UM version, dual core, 1.06 GHz) processor
- 4 GB DDR3 memory
- Intel HM55 Express Chipset and graphics
- Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth + EDR, optional 3G
- 3xUSB, HDMI, Webcam, card-readers, Dolby Sound, etc
- Windows 7 Home OS
- 6-cell battery (up to 8 hours of autonomy)
All these in a device with a nice aspect (although not impressive) that only weighs around 3 pounds.
Acer Aspire 1830T - new 11.6 inch mini laptop with new generation Intel hardware
What we know is that the Acer 1830T will be available in Europe from June with a starting price of 549 euros . Based on previous experiences, this could be translated in around 600 bucks once it reaches the States. That’s more expensive than the current Acer 11.6 inch lines (the 1410 or 1810T), but performances, features and even design and build quality are greatly improved on the new generation.
So stay tuned for more details on the Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T. This is definitely a device I would keep my eyes on, although I’m not particularly an Acer fan, and you should too if you want a capable mini laptop for good money.
