The Acer Aspire 1820PTZ net-vertible has yet to be released worldwide but apparently you can get one already in Singapore. Well Denosha from VR-zone forums has gotten ahold of one and wrote up a nice little review. First off here are the specs of all 1820 models:
| 1420P | 1820PT | 1820PTZ | |
| Processor | 1.2GHz SU2300 dual-core | Intel Core 2 duo | 1.3GHz SU4100 dual-core |
| RAM | 4GB (up to 8GB) | 4GB (up to 8GB) | 4GB (up to 8GB) |
| HD size | 250/320/500GB | 250/320/500GB | 250/320/500GB |
| Graphics | GMA 4500MHD | GMA 4500MHD | GMA 4500MHD |
| Screen size | 11.6″ | 11.6″ | 11.6″ |
| Battery life | 8hrs | 8hrs | 8hrs |
| ports | HDMI, vga, 3 x usb, head/mic | HDMI, vga, 3 x usb, head/mic | HDMI, vga, 3 x usb, head/mic |
As you can see the only difference between the three models is their processor. Here are some highlights of the review:
- Thicker and heavier than most netbooks
- Very cool multitouch capabilities
- Accelerometer rotates screen orientation in around 1-3 seconds
- Nice palm rejection for writing with stylus
- Good handwriting recognition
- Video playback is smooth even in HD
- LOTS of bloatware makes for 1 minute initial boot time
These convertible tablets are very cool, but right now they are over $1000 so unless you really want this brand you might as well get a T91MT for $500. Overall though besides the high price this 11.6″ convertible tablet netbook is very impressive, and if you have the money you won’t be disappointed.
Here’s some of the cool multi-touch capabilities (skip to 3:00 for the good stuff):
