I 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'm looking at getting the Timeline 4810t with either the SU2700 or SU3500. Can anyone tell me any discernible differences I'll find between the two? Right now I'm looking at about an $80 difference between the two (also 1gb more ram with the SU3500).
Also, fyi this laptop will be for law school so it won't be very task intensive besides internet research, word processing, onenote etc.
I've read many articles and post regarding Acer timelines with the SU2700, and i'm confused as many seem to refrence it as single core but on intels on website its listed as a dual core!

Any one who has this CPU can confirm this?
Are you also able to get 8 hours battery life with that processor ?

I'm torn between the 13.3 and the 11.6. How do these two stack up in terms of processing power.

Intel Celeron 1.2GHz SU2300 / 2GB RAM / 160GB Hard Drive / Intel GMA 4500MHD / Webcam / 802.11N Wireless / HDMI / 6-Cell Battery / Windows 7 Home Premium
I think I remember reading that the SU2300 is better (or perhaps better bang for your buck) than the SU3500. I'm pretty sure the SU3500 is supposed to be better than the SU2700. So, does that make the SU2300 better when compared to the SU2700?
I'm haven't made up my mind on the 13.3" form factor, but the $499 price point seemed like a deal. Also, is the 13.3" eligible for Windows 7?
How's Su9400 for Multi-tasking? will it get stuck if a few or more programs will be running at the same time?

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 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.
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 looking for a little expert advice on a Dell 15" and wonder what are the main differences between the Inspiron, Studio & Vostro models? I will be using it to display photos and websites and will not use it for gaming. The display and overall looks are probably the most important. . BB has a Inspiron 15 with a i3 processor for $649.
I am also looking at the Lenovo 15" models because I think I have narrowed my choices down to these 2 manufactures.
My vostro 3500 that ive had for 3 years crashed a few times and now wont boot. When i turn the laptop on, the power sign comes on and then a few seconds after, the fan starts going non-stop. nothing comes up on the screen either.
Ive tried taking out the battery and putting it back in again, but that didnt work.
The laptop had been getting a bit hot recently, so i opened it up and cleaned out the fan.
I have an HP pro 3500 series Macrotower , and i have problem and i cant find how to install ethernet driver.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere is no configurable screen and the tech specs don't say other than "HD" which most people use for 1366x768.
Has anyone been able to confirm the screen resolution on the new Vostro 2500 series or 3400?
Any idea on how long it takes them to make it a bit more configurable?
So does anyone know if Dell sells the backlit keyboard as a part for the Vostro 3500? Mine came with the normal one, but I could really use some light in my keyboard

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have never used a laptop before (I prefer to work on a server machine) but am considering one at present.I'm looking at a Vostro 3500 but that could change.
1) Can I use a standard USB keyboard and mouse with such a laptop? (No need for special devices!)
2) Are there any problems with PS-2 to USB adaptors connecting keyboard and mouse to a USB port? (Yes I have a few keyboards and mice in storage!)
3) Can I install a standard out of the box version of Windows 7 Ultimate (already licensed) on the Vostro 3500?
4) I saw reference somewhere to touch screen control in Win 7 coming sometime. What are the release plans for such capabilities in Dell laptops?
Since yesterday, i can not find how to go to bios setting or how to go to booting option.I have read all articles on this forum about pressing esc, f9, or f10 when notebook begin starting.But never work. All of this button never work.
Combination with fn button, but it also didn't work. Everytime i press fn+f9 or fn+f10 when notebook begin start doesn show bios or booting menu.
Does it becouse i use windows 8? My notebook is HP Mini 110-3500 with Windows 8 in it.
Then i try to search 'how to go to bios setting in windows 8', i found many articles, most of them using UEFI bios setting. But on my HP Mini there is no UEFI setting?
How to go to bios setting or how to go to booting options? i want to reinstall this HP Mini using my usb flash drive.
I accidentally deleted the prgram via the control panel uninstall. Need to download an reinstall same.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis thread is for all Acer Timeline owners who suffer from 100% CPU load, when only thing that helps is restart.
1. If you are a Timeline owner - having this problem or not, please do report here, what model you own and tell us how is this happening for you.
2. Please inform Acer about this, so they know and can offer a solution (especially if you're from United States as this will have greater impact rather than me telling this stuff to Slovak Acer service)
Alright, this is what I got so far about this thing:
-CPU will just go nuts at no specific time (idle, browsing, ...)
-Proccess explorer shows 'Hardware Interrupts' as source of 99.9% of CPU power
-unlogging won't help, only restart does
-updating BIOS doesn't help
-uninstalling acer epower managment doesn't help, even though it seems making these episodes less frequent somehow
Mine notebook is:
5810T with SU3500 and GMA 4500MHD.......................
I'm looking for a Timeline with:
Core 2 Duo Processor
the ATI Graphics Card (not integrated intel)
and a DVD Writer/Player
As to screen size I don't really care which it is, 13-14-15...I suppose I'd prefer 15, but any will do as long as the above specs are met.
I've read reviews that state the timeline series offers these specs but I can't find anywhere that sells a Timeline with them in it.
I actually have a Gateway EC1815U and heard it is identical to the acer 1810t.
In the Gateway bios (insyde) I see an option for a device on IDE1. IDE0 is used for the internal hard drive.
I am wondering if there is either
1- a way to expose the 2nd IDE externally to use like a eSATA device with it
or
2 - Be able to install a 2nd IDE device like a SSD to use that interface
I'm wondering out loud and checking here to see if anyone can offer some advice.
Im receiving my 3810t-6775 this week.. the one with the su9400 and the intel x25 80Gb ssd, im wondering which os will perform better? XP or 7?
Which are the pros/cons/tips to make it run better?
I never had an ssd before (well.. the 2gb from the eee700 a while ago but it doesnt count for me )
My 4810T has the fan always on (not too loud, but on nevertheless...). I can't tell if it's because of the CPU (intel SU9400) or the GPU (intel gma 4500mhd).
Is there any option where I can control this? I'm on Ubuntu and I'm using the "CPU frequency scaling monitor" applet to throttle the CPU, but even in it's lowest frequency, the fan never shuts down.
I am thinking to add XP to my TL.
I kinda tried drivers from acer.com but some did not work.
Anybody successfully installed XP on thier TL?
Anyone with 3G module installed on 4810 model?
Trying to upgrade mine but no luck so far...
