Pictures of My New Acer 1410 Notebook

Picked up this awesome laptop/netbook hybrid called the Acer 1410 for $450 shipped and it arrived today. (Called the Acer 1810 in Europe.) Here’s some pictures:

It’s really thin and light for a laptop but more powerful than the average netbook (not to mention a full-size keyboard). It pack a Core 2 Solo (Penryn) processor rather than the typical Atom and has the new Intel integrated graphics with HDMI output!

I’ve pasted the exact specs below if your interested in that. What I’m happy for is that this will be a joy to bring to around in comparison to my heavy 15.4″ MacBook Pro, even if I don’t get to use Snow Leopard on it.

Intel Core 2 Solo Processor ULV SU3500, 1.40 GHz – adjustable clock speed
3M L2 Cache, 800MHz Front Bus Speed

On-board Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Multi-format Card Reader – SD, MMC, MS, MS Pro, xD
Multi-gesture Touchpad – two buttons

If you are looking for a more in-depth review, I found this one which seems fairly comprehensive.

PS. I put the Windows Vista sticker on my trashcan, where it more clearly indicated intended purpose :P

    Excellent, congrats. I’m in the United States as well and am looking to puchase this laptop. If you get a chance to write up a short review of how things are going sometime in the future that would be awesome. I’m planning dual booting with Win7 and Ubuntu. Also I couldn’t get the pictures to work.

    Hi! I fixed the URL for the pictures, they should be showing now. Right now I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on the netbook, and it is super fast and fully supported. Very nice operating system, much better than Vista. All the hardware was supported out of the box, and I had no problems during installation (I used a USB thumb drive). As far as Windows 7 goes, this particular machine falls under Acer’s free upgrade plan – see http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade/ for more information.
