View 10 RepliesI just made a purchase of a 1410 for about $340 with an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 and 2GB ram. I plan to do a clean of install Windows 7 32-bit once I receive the laptop.
However one thing concerns me, how does the laptop fare with online Flash video streaming? I'm thinking it will do fine with 360p and 480p streaming, but is it able to run 720p or even 1080p smoothly?
Also, is this model able to multi-task somewhat? I'm not looking for anything extreme, but I'm wondering more about running multiple tabs in a browser or running Office apps with internet surfing, etc.
If not playable out of the box, are there tweaks to get HD flash playback smooth? I've heard of the new Adobe Flash 10.1 helping out with performance somewhat, but I'm wondering if it's a long wait before a cheap (sub-$400) netbook/sub-notebook can stream HD flash well that isn't an ION with Atom.
I've heard great reviews on the 1410 and like the purchase, but was just curious about some of the performance situations stated above.
Are you also able to get 8 hours battery life with that processor ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI notice that all reviews for this laptop are based on the SU9400 model. I'm wondering if these reviews are then accurate for the SU3500 and SU2700 models in terms of performance?
I know the SU9400 is dual-core, I'd just like to know the difference in performance between the two varieties.
I am considering buying this system because of its sheer setup, this being SU9400/4Gb/11.6/4500HD/BT/HDMI...olympic version... along with light weight and great battery life for whats in the system

Few questions if I may....
1.Does it use a regular 2.5 drive and is it easily accessible?
2. I would like to upgrade to Win 64 and wonder if a bios update necessary and, if so, available?
3.Are 64 bit drivers easily obtainable?
4.As I am fm Canada, it will have this terrible bilingual keyboard...Can it be replaced and is it a simple process?
5.Recovery Media... Does it come with a windows 7 reinstall disk? If so, does the disk contain both versions of Win (32bit/64bit) and can either be installed with the same key?
6.If not, are there free versions of 64 bit available on the internet, as was the case with Vista, where one could legally download and use their key for 32 bit successfully?
1) SU3500 + ATI HD 4330 better than SU9400?
My usage would be web surfing, office apps, music/movie playback, 0 gaming.
I tend to multitask, open many tabs when browsing, plus run several apps at one-go etc.
2) Can I easily replace the HDD with a SSD and will it support the 2.5inch SLC ones?
3) Are there official 9 cell batts for this model out yet?

I'm having a bit of trouble finding out this information. Does anyone know if there is a release date yet on when Acer will be offering the su9400 in either the 4810 or 5810 timeline series?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 4530 that shipped with Vista, I installed XP Pro without a problem using slipstream with the sata drivers. My problem is that the DVD-RW multi recorder is being recognized as a DVD RAM drive only, can't write to it at all.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi looked online i couldn't find an comparison between :
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU9400 vs Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500.
i am trying to buy my first acer computer and i am deliberate between the timeline 14" with one of this cpu .
i was wondering what would bee the different between the 2.
they have the some system bus 800mhz and the some clock speed 1.4Ghz, the only different is between 1 core or 2 .
price different would be from 579$ (staples spacial) with su3500 to 919$ (only from Canada) with su9400.
i'm having problems with my new acer v5 touchpad... i made a clean install of windows 8.1 and installed all the win 8.1 drivers from the acer support site. from the device id of my touchpad (ACPISYN1B71) i assumed that it is a synaptics model.
Â
the problem now: after installing several versions of the driver, even trying the alps and elantech versions, i could never manage to get multi-gesture settings in the settings windows from synaptics - there are only settings visible for right- and left-click. where are the multi-touch gesture options for windows 8?
Â
basic funtions work, like left click, two-finger right click and two-finger scrolling, but nothing is configurable and all the other gestures are not available.

at a significantly speedier 1.6ghz compared to 1.3 and 1.4 for the former two.
I can save app -80+ bucks going with the su9300 then upgrade later.
1. Is the upgrade easy?
2. What will su9600 cost? .. app/best guess.
I am trying to see if this is normal in my Vaio Z.
Apparently, our keyboard is structured in a way where we only hold down 2 keys, most of the time. For instance, when I have "W" and "D" key held down, pressing q, e, z, x, a will not be recognized.
I was wondering if this is true for our keyboards or do I just have a bad one? Can someone test this out with their Z
Is there any chance the xps 1645 will have a multi-touch mouse pad anytime soon? I find that feature in the macs really cool. Since I'm about to buy a 1645, was just wondering if it was worth waiting sometime

View 9 Replies View RelatedUse MultiClutch to assign multi-touch gestures in almost any application in OS X!
Quote:
Basically, Multiclutch allows you to assign custom keyboard shortcuts in a given app to a given gesture. Want swipes to change tabs in Safari? Done. The same in iChat? Done. Want zoom-in to open emails in Mail, zoom-out to close windows in every app, and a swipe down to bring up Quicksilver? Done done done.
MultiClutch works by installing a simple input manager that catches gesture events, looks to see what shortcut you’ve defined for it in the frontmost app (if you haven’t defined anything, it behaves in the standard manner), and performs that shortcut. You use a System Preference Pane to customize gestures with an interface similar to the shortcut-customization table in the Keyboard & Mouse pane. You can ‘bind’ gestures in a given Cocoa app (due to the nature of input managers, Carbon apps are not supported) or globally.
I actually find it easier to use the multi touch compared to the mouse somehow, the touchpad is big so i can navigate as easily as with a mouse and the multitouch gestures make it so much better to use.
I was thinking of getting a mighty mouse but im not sure its worth it as apple gestures make navigateing so good. are the press buttons on the mighty mouse just 1 button or two.
My multi-touch works great in every way, except for the zooming thing like the iTouch...
When I put my fingers together and open it slowly the image go into FULL ZOOM and if I put them back together go to a complete ZOOM OUT...

So Apple told Google not to use multi-touch gestures in its Google Android phone and Google listened to them. The phone is capable of multitouch gestures, but Apple told Google not to use it to protect the iPhone.
Is Apple out of line? Are they Microsoft Jr.? Is Apple replaying the patenting of a GUI OS from the 1980s?
Apple is stifling innovation with these anti-competitive practices.
Anyone have it and have any opinions on the touch screen.
Do you use it?Is it a waste?Is it awesome?...

I knew nothing of it until I made my icons big by mistake, then I slid my fingers back together and they went back small and I was like .
Pretty cool feature! is this new to the Vaio Laptops?
Multi-Touch trackpad and windows! is there a driver for this?

New Synaptics Driver - Multitouch like Macbooks
I'm using 13.2.1.0 with my 1340 because the newer ones haven't worked. Next, navigate to the Device Settings tab, and click Settings. From there, the fun begins.
Go to Application Gestures, "Three Fingers Down," and select Configure. At that point, you'll need this command:
%windir%System32
undll32.exe dwmapi.dll #105
Copy that, select "Add" and paste it into the command text box. Name it Flip 3D or whatever you want, and select OK, OK, and click Apply. Now, make sure you have Three Finger Flick enabled. This will let you scroll between the applications that are running in Flip 3D. Once you get the hang of it, it's a very cool and easy way to get around. You know, or not. Whatever.
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the Dell Synaptic Drivers v13.2.2.2, I seem to have gained additional touchpad gestures.
Along with the original chiral-scroll and two-finger zoom I now have:
-two-finger scrolling (vertical and horizontal)
-three-finger forward/back for web browsers and the Windows image viewer
-rotate
-three-finger quick launch (holding three fingers down for 1 second opens notepad)
-momentum (I'm not sure if this one is new)
I am trying to add songs into the multi-session MP3 CD I created with Toast 10 Titanium and I can't figure it out. I searched all over the net and I wasn't able to find an answer. Every time I try to add files my car only recognizes the new file. I used to do this with Nero when I had a Windows based laptop but I'm new to Toast.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI love the hardware design of the XPS 15, except that the touchpad is unusable for scrolling. Â My old Latitude 6520 at least could use the scroll zones well, but with the buttons on the L521x being part of the touchpad, the horizontal scroll zone impacts button usage and isn't worth it.The big issue is the multi-finger scrolling jumps significantly when lifting fingers. Â I've tried every version of the driver I could find, and they all have this issue. Â If you make sure you completely stop scrolling before lifting fingers, then lift one at a time, I can usually avoid the jump, but that take more time than just using the keys to scroll.
Is there a way to either disable horizontal scrolling using scroll zones or fix the 2 finger scrolling to not jump? Â Except for that issue (and some sporadic wifi issues that my be fixed with newest driver), this laptop would be perfect for me.
My Dell Inspiron laptop keyboard will not allow me to hit the same key twice - eg double letters, double numbers or double returns
It has just started and I wondered if I could have accidentally hit a key combination that has changed a setting ?
I have found out that the touch pad surface extends further than it should. I have a habit on leaning on my elbow,
when I have my laptop on my legs I put my elbow on the palm rests. I found out quickly though that if I lean on it I end up doing a multi touch zoom,
to start off with I thought my system was just being rubbish but then I tested it again and it worked fine after I took my elbow off.
This must mean that the touch surface extends further than the edge of the "touchpad",
I just wonder how far it actually goes and whether we could make use of it .
I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 professional x64 several months ago, at that time sony had not provided the drivers yet,
but still Win7 recognized most of the devices and I've tried to install the drivers for other OS,
most the installations were incomplete but somehow some of the multi-media buttons worked except for the AV MODE button
