FS: Acer Aspire AS1410 11.6" dual core laptop - SOLD

[4orced4door]

Got a new laptop so I'm selling this one even though it's been great. It's way more powerful than your typical netbook for around the same money and size. It has a dual core CPU that spanks an Atom and I upgraded the hard drive to a 250GB 7200RPM WD Scorpio Black. The specs are:

Intel Celeron SU2300 1.2ghz dual core CPU (Less than 10% slower than a low volt Core 2 Duo SU7300, and around 3x faster than any single core Atom - don't be fooled by Celeron branding)
3GB DDR2 667 RAM
WD Scorpio Black 250GB 7200RPM HD
Wireless G
Webcam
11.6" 1366x768 screen (hi-res for the size - same as most 14" laptops)
3-3.5 hrs battery life on average (6-cell)
Weighs a bit over three pounds

It's in excellent shape, I covered it with a Zagg Invisible Shield as soon as I got it. It covers the palm rests and the top lid of the computer. There should be no scratches on the top thanks to this, and it has never been dropped or banged around. The only blemish is on the screen bezel, the day I got it I tried to remove some sticker residue with goo-gone without thinking and it marred the finish. It's about a three inch swipe. I'm sure you could pick up a new bezel from Acer for $20-$30, and I have one bookmarked on ebay for around $25. I've just lived with it, it's not really a big deal.

Includes the original box, papers/CDs, AC Adapter, and Orange ZeroShock III laptop sleeve.

I will post pictures tomorrow.

$295 shipped and paypalled

I'm changing a couple things. It's now being sold with a 250GB 7200RPM Western Digital Scorpio Black hard drive to get the price down some.

Now $295 shipped and paypalled.

Going on ebay in a few days if nobody wants it.

Hey Paul

How durable are these NetBook thingys?

I'm looking for something lighter than my old TiBook to toss in the travelbag.

Tentative 'dibs' if you think it'll hold up to my abuse /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cheers, Ted

p.s. got a Detroit shipto:

The build quality is pretty good on this model. It's not as rock-solid as a high end Lenovo, but for the price and weight it feels pretty good. Good keyboard, nice multitouch touchpad, etc. I carry it in the sleeve, in my bag every day for work and it's held up great. No complaints.

Correction: It came with a crappy wireless N card, which I upgraded to a nice wireless N card. When I got my new laptop, I swapped the wireless G card that came in it for the nice wireless N card that was in the Acer. So it's got a Dell wireless G card in it.

If you want a nice N card, the Intel 5100 AGN cards work pretty well for streaming HD content over wifi and run like $20-$25 on ebay. If you're not streaming HD content then G is probably fine for you anyway.

Here's a link to the sleeve that's included (different size though). It's really nice.
