Having dealt in some detail with the design of the 4810T, it's about time we get onto what powers it. As already mentioned, the cast is led by
an SU9400 ULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which has a thermal envelope of a mere 10W. Its clock-speed of 1.4GHz might seem slow, but
it's a necessary sacrifice to ensure the 4810T's portability.
Moreover, in our PCMark Vantage results the 1.4GHz SU9400 does quite well against the 2.26GHz P8400 Core 2 Duo found on Samsung's
contender for the 14in light-and-thin throne, the 1.9kg
X460
we looked at last year. More surprising is how much it outperforms the 1.2GHz
SU9300-equipped
Sony VAIO VGN-T11WN
- a machine that costs twice as much as the Acer (in fairness, the Sony TT is on another level
when it comes to portability).
Basically, what the CPU performance comes down to is that while no speed demon, the 4810T should be perfectly happy running your daily
productivity needs. Its CPU is backed by 3GB of DDR3 RAM, which is the maximum the included Windows Vista Premium 32-bit OS can
handle anyway, as well as fairly generous 320GB hard drive. Further specifications include Draft-N Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR.
Graphics come courtesy of Intel's integrated GMA chip based on the Series 4 chipset. While this is undeniably underpowered when it comes
to 3D graphics, scoring a measly 6.17 frames per second in TrackMania Nations Forever on medium detail at the screen's native 1,366 x
768 resolution, it's one of the most efficient graphics systems when it comes to battery life and can handle everyday tasks with ease. This
system did struggle a little with Full HD .mov files, but less intensive codecs shouldn't pose a problem and 720p content (the most likely
source given the screen resolution) posed no such issues.
