Pretty decent quality with great performance
By The UnderTaker
Just received one of the very first AS1830T notebooks available in the US from Amazon.Its for my wife who had been running off with my similar year-old 11.6" Acer AS1810tz.I've been setting up and using her new 1830t i5-430 for a few days.Took some learning time because she needs the multi-language featuresnow available with Win7 Ultimate, that previously required a hard drivepartition and the installation of more than one operating system.Just wanted to say that I've been using both the new 1830t and my oldAcer 1810tz (SU4100) side-by-side and have rarely noticed the 1830t being faster.The new 1830t measures faster in benchmark tests, but most users won't notice.BTW... happy to report that Acer has dumped the Synaptics touch pad in the older seriesin favor of the Alps Electric touch pad. Acer also replaced the small hardwareswitches for wireless (& bluetooth) with function-F3 key control.Overall, its a very nice machine. Display is bright and sharp.Build quality seems decent. Keyboard is ok... seems the same as my AS1810tz.Mouse buttons are stiff and clicky towards the center. Mushy and quiet towards the outside.I suspect they will wear-in... but still acceptable as-is.Battery is 5800 mAh verses 5600 mAh in the AS1810, but typical usage enduranceseems to have decreased from 7.5 hours in the AS1810 to around 6 hours inthe new AS1830t. I guess because of the increased power requirement of Intel's i5 chip.I'm sure you could squeak out another hour using minimalistic settings.It runs noticeably hotter than my AS1810tz, but not hot enough to be offensive.So.. we will keep it.She loves it already... really!She carries it around the house like a new puppy.(her 14" Lenovo T400 was always tabletop to briefcase, etc.)Me... I'm now much more content with my little AS1810tz.Probably won't bother to upgrade.__________________________________________July 9th, 2010 - Changed from 4 stars to 5 stars. Great little machine!August 11th, 2010 - Ordered a second 1830T. Can't explain... I just want one for myself!

By Eddie
I'm pretty impressed that this computer comes with Windows 7-64 bit Operating System. Performance of the computer is excellent. It shuts down and starts up fast-just be sure to have the operating system and programs properly updated.This computer is a bit bigger than most netbooks at 11.6 inches but in fact it is an ultra-portable. It is thin and light and just a great travel tool. The nearly full size smooth keyboard is a plus. Quality of build is solid. The fan is very quiet and the machine only gets slightly warm when used for prolonged periods. The speakers are not great but these are not used on plane flights out of courtesy to other passengers anyway. For home use, the device should be connected to external speakers. Movies and TV are streamlined very well.The computer is compact and does not have a cd/dvd. This can be expected from notebook of this size. Storage is 500 gb. It can carry lots of music, pictures, and videos. With a drive this size, I decided to partition the drive into C/D.I have not sat in a plane for 8 hours yet but I know for a fact, that the battery can deliver more than 5 hours on long trips. Therefore, for a frequent air traveler like myself, you should not have to be looking for a wall socket at each airport to recharge or use this computer. That does not mean that you should not carry the around the power cord- just in case.For someone that travels a lot, I believe that this is a winner hands down. I have been researching this for a while and the alternatives are made by Sony (Sony X $1299.99) and Apple (MacBook Air $1499) which are very good but more expensive.My writing is for someone that needs a travel tool that is light enough and capable enough. This is in my opinion an ultra-portable with much more computing power than a netbook. I have not loaded games and will not use it for this purpose either. Please also note that I am not affiliated to ACER either.

By Jayayess1190
Before I even turned it on I put in the 160GB Intel G2 ssd that was previously in my Acer 3810t. Then once I turned on and after a few driver downloads and restarts, I had my original desktop and programs all ready to go. This machine is fast. I am coming from a 13.3" Acer 3810t that had a 1.4GHz SU9400. This 1830t is much faster. Programs open fast. I remember when I first got the ssd and put it in my 3810t and was amazed at the speed increase over the hard drive. Well now I am experiencing that feeling all over again, and I love it. Editing images is a much more pleasant experience. Where as Adobe Lightroom 3 and Corel Paintshop Pro X2 would be a little slow on the 3810t, they are both rockets on the 1830t. Overall I am glad I upgraded, as the new Core i5-430UM is a big speed boost over the Core 2 Duo SU9400. The computer is lightweight and easy to carry, and shall hold me over until 2013 when Intel launches Haswell processors and I upgrade again.Pros for the 1830t:Weighs only 3.1lbs.Core i5 processor is very fast.Fans are quieter than on my 3810t, but at full speed seem to be louder.Fun to watch Turbo Boost do its thing.Runs very cool, except for the left side which gets a little warm but never hot.Cons:Keyboad has more flex than the 3810t's.I got an Alps touchpad, wish I had gotten one with Synaptics.Touchpad is not recessed, looks pretty but I do not like this and is hard to use in low lighting.No multimedia keys like on the 3810t.Wish I had an Intel Wireless card, might change out the Broadcom.
