Benchmark

All benchmarks were run at high performance settings on the laptop. No other settings were tampered with.

Windows Vista Experience Index

The computer lies well above average, indicating the Acer Aspire Timeline 1810TZ packs some decent hardware, which is good.

I have decided to compare it with the Acer Aspire One 751, a netbook that costs some £100 less. Hopefully the benchmarks will show the extra cash is worth it in terms of performance.

Boot times and out of standby:

Boot and out of standby times are measured from when the power button is pressed and the Windows desktop appears.

Whether it is Windows 7 or the hardware that improves the boot time so dramatically is hard to say. It is probably a combination of the two, but whatever the proportions, it is nice to see boot time slashed in half.

Battery life:

Idle times are measured at the lowest power profile on the tested models while Classic times are tested at the highest performance profile. Both are tested with BatteryEater 2005 to find the maximum battery life at the given settings.

Battery life is always the focus with Acer, which is amazing. When the computers are so small and mobile, they are designed to be brought along with you every day. You might not always have a power source handy and it is in this area Acer’s expertise shines through. Their notebooks consistently sport battery lives in the upper end of the spectrum, which is true for both models here.

In this case they promise 8 hours, and after some searches on the web I can see a bunch of other reviewers were able to get that. I do not know if Acer sent me a bad battery or something else went wrong, but the results are as they are.
However, I would say both devices live up to what they promise, and I would expect to get a longer battery life off a brand new machine.
