Excellent value and performance Acer 11.6 netbook, March 30, 2011

Just a quick few comments. I bought a 1430Z (from another vendor, where it was cheaper at the time) mainly because:
o It has more screen pixels than 10.1″ netbooks do
o CPU benchmarks I found on the web were much better than for typical Atom processors
o It’s considerably lighter and smaller than 13.3″ notebooks
o It comes with more memory than typical netbooks do

My intention (as with all my computers) was to run Ubuntu Linux, dual booting occasionally into Windows.
My impressions so far:

Pros:
o Nice compact form factor. It’s even a tad lighter than the spec; mine weighs just under 3 lbs
o Ubuntu 10.10 works. But I had to blacklist 2 modules (intel_ips and acer-wmi).
o External VGA gives you a full extended desktop (at least in Ubuntu, haven’t experimented in Windows): I get 1366×768 on the notebook and 1680×1050 on a 22″ external monitor at the same time. This has not worked well or at all on other notebooks I’ve had in the past.
o Applications respond snappily — this is subjective of course. Video is good. I also run my own CPU-intensive simulation benchmark on all my computers to compare them. The 1430Z (Intel U5600 CPU) is about 26% slower than a desktop with an AMD 5000+ CPU, 18% faster than a notebook with an Intel SU7300 CPU, and 11% faster than a notebook with an Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz CPU.

Cons:
o Battery life is OK but unexceptional — this is only subjective since I haven’t measured it. But battery life has never been a high priority for me. For all my laptops it has dropped precipitously after a year or so, no matter how impressive it may have been when new.
o The Keyboard lacks the feel of a great keyboard, like the classic Thinkpads of yore, or a decent desktop keyboard. And the Home/End/PgUp/PgDown/Up/Down/Left/Right are squashed together in the lower right; I don’t know if I’ll ever learn to find them without looking.
Overall then, this fits the bill for me: portability, performance, and Linux.

Everything I expected, May 20, 2011

This little machine is great! I bought it specifically for it’s portability and it’s delivered just as expected. I love the form factor: almost as small as a netbook with functionality of a “real” laptop”. The value here is very good: webcam, microprocessor, and RAM are just like what gets delivered for laptops which are $100 more. I have not tried to add more RAM, but did note that another reviewer has and provided the actual part number from Amazon for it.
