In the midst of the back to school season, there is a bit of a lack of product to purchase. When I think of the perfect notebook for most students, I think a CULV would be ideal. It blends the “good enough” performance, with an all day battery life. Then add in the go anywhere [...]

Intel has introduced quite a few chips over the last several months. However, with no direct competition in the CULV segment, they have not updated their line for this segment. Recall that these CULV’s are the ultrathin notebook computers that offer more power than a netbook, but still a long battery life. It appears that a [...]

The Acer Aspire Timeline series was the answer to underpowered netbooks; for a little more dough, these CULV’s had more power, in a still compact package, albeit a little larger. While they have been big sellers, they were due for an update. The Acer Aspire Timeline 1830T was spotted at the FCC. It is anticipated to [...]

Last year, the CULV chips started a new category of laptop. These chips offered adequate power, but allowed the notebook to be made thin, and in turn light, that gave more traditional netbooks a run for their money.

With the bargains to be had, there was quite the fury for Black Friday. However, with limited stock, not everyone got the item they wanted, although it would appear that netbooks were big sellers. As the holiday shopping season is hardly over, it is easy to see why the retailers would want to do this [...]

7. December 2009 | by Jonas
Once in a while, a manufacturer actually gets a product right. The Acer 1410, which uses a CULV processor, provides the extra processing power that many users are after when they want their netbook to perform more like an ultraportable. All of this in a 3 pound package is an alluring deal with an 11.6″ [...]

While netbooks started with 7″ displays, users realized that the limit of these early devices was not the processor or memory, but rather the display. They wanted, make that demanded more screen real estate. Manufacturers responded, and the size of the LCD grew to 8.9″, and subsequently morphed into 10.1″. While this larger size is [...]

A few days ago, the Acer Aspire 1410 was spotted, a Windows 7 CULV that is more than a standard netbook. With an 11.6″ screen, and a $399 price, it sits clearly in the upper end of netbook territory and shows how far the category has come. Now the Acer Aspire 1420P has been spotted. While [...]

With the intro of Windows 7, some new models are appearing, including this Aspire 1410 from Acer. Priced below their Timeline series, the 1410 is more of a 751 upgrade. While the 11.6″ larger than netbook size display remains, thankfully the Atom Z520 has been kicked to the curb for a CULV processor. What is [...]
