    Hey all,

    Recently came into a bit of cash so I'm thinking of picking up a new notebook. I've had my eye on the Aspire 1810TZ. Anyone have an idea on it?

    Will mostly be using it to surf the net, watch movies, skype and some light gaming. I chose it for the dualcore and the storage, any better options? My budget is 600.

    Cheers,

    Gnome

    Its a fine laptop by all accounts, but don't be expecting any kind of power.

    This new-ish category of budget ultra-portables kind of fits in between netbooks and proper laptops. A dual-core 1.3GHz is fairly slow by todays standards, and you won't be doing any modern gaming on a GMA4500.

    On the flip side, it offers awesome portability and very long battery life, which is pretty much the idea behind these machines. If you just want a 'normal' laptop, you will get higher specs for that money.

    Cheers, portability and battery life are what I'm after. Gaming wise, it'll just be low end strategy games as I have a desktop for "proper" gaming!

    Have one ordered and will hopefully be here today or monday.

    Thanks again.
