    Acer Aspire AS1410 now shipping at Amazon

    The Acer Aspire AS1410 is now shipping with some very admirable specs for it's very low price of $449.99. In fact many would not call this a netbook, but because it blurs the lines and is an overall great machine (on paper) I thought it would be worth mentioning to you (keep reading for full specs):

    Acer-Aspire-AS1410-Sale

    Full specs:

    * 1.4GHz Intel Core2 Solo ULV SU3500 Processor
    * 2 GB DDR2 667MHz Memory
    * 250GB SATA Hard Drive
    * Acer Crystal Eye Webcam, Intel WiFi Link 5100 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N, 1 HDMI port
    * Windows Vista Home Premium (SP 1), 6-cell Li-ion Battery (4400 mAh)
    * 11.6" HD WXGA Acer CrystalBrite LED-backlit Display, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
    * Size (LWH): 8.03 inches, 11.22 inches, 1.18 inches
    * Weight: 3.08 pounds

    I've highlighted the 3 specs that make this "lapbook" (see what I did there?) stand out from the competition. First, it features a 1.4 GHz Intel Core2 Solo ULV processor which is similiar to the Atom line in that it draws low power, but not as little as the Atom does. It also has 2 GB of RAM pre-installed so there should be little reason to upgrade. Overall it looks great on paper especially considering the price.

    You can pick it up in three color choices all for the price of $449.99. Sapphire Blue is currently in stock while Black shows up as on pre-order and Ruby Red as temporarily out of stock. I'm sure these messages should be cleared up in the next few days thought.

      $399 or lower and I would buy it…just can’t see myself buying something starting in the mid-$400 range for a netbook. Nice specs…would like to see a review here especially regarding screen resolutions.

      It’s not a netbook. Like the reviewer said, it’s an “in-between”, or, a “lapbook”. The screen resolution is 1366×768 so, along with the Intel 4300MHD graphics and the Core2 Solo it will do high-def (720p at least).

      The SU3500 processor is much stronger than an Atom processor and the 4500MHD is a step up from the GMA950 on netbooks. Also, you’re getting twice the usual netbook ram and a bigger hard drive. It’s a terrific deal for $450. So far, reviews on Amazon have all been 5 stars. I might order one myself soon.
