Just bought a Temash Sub-Notebook today

[alpha0ne]

I like the size/specs very much but do you use the touch screen ???, I would have thought it redundant with a laptop

Here's a review I found @ notebookcheck.net

I do use it sometimes to hand write but as a bonus feature.

A few more test




I didn't expect it will run any game with 1GHz CPU
so I just choose MineCraft to see if it can run or not

This is a Multiplayer Server , not Single player so it may affect the overall framerate.
I can say its' playable



For 720p video it just handle fine

Turbo working yet?

Turbo working yet?

I updated the BIOS to 2.04 but the Power Profile still not work properly with Win 7 64bit

CPU-z Never show 1.4GHz ...and the other review site also mentioned the Turbo seems not exist

I don't expect Stella Performance with Half-Life 2 : Lost Coast
but , wow , mighty little chip manage to maintain 20~30fps in most time !
( I was expecting like 10s at max)

[imamage]

Cinebench as Requested




CPUMark99 (pretty outdate)


Half-Life 2 : Lost Coast





For "oldschool" MMO online game (DX9 , launch in 2006 I guess?)

The game is same as Uncharted Water Online but I play in Taiwan Server
http://uwo.netmarble.com/

I am downloading Company of Heros to see how it perform
But I don't imagine it will run any FPS (the CPU is too slow to handle the load)

[alpha0ne]

One of these should be a worthy replacement for my old (and heavy) Dell Latitude D420

[FlanK3r]

very nice for little quad CPU

[Lightman]

Thanks for these results imamage!

Once Turbo is working this should improve scores quite a bit

PS. Just for comparison an A64 X2 5600+ 90nm Windsor clocked @1GHz, 1GB DDR2 533 single-channel and GeForce 6100 in 32bit Cinebench 2003 scores:
CPU 1 core: 142
CPU x core: 266

OpenGL H/L: 899
OpenGL S/W: 715
C4D Shading: 169


2GHz AMD X2:

CPU 1 core: 283
CPU x core: 530


OpenGL H/L: 1437
OpenGL S/W: 1274
C4D Shading: 335

That looks like a great little portable

Were you able to validate using the original Acer OEM key with your Win7 install, or did you have to 'burn' a new key?

When swapping to SSD I prefer a fresh OS install (especially if I can find all the drivers) to cleanse the OEM bloatware. Since you dropped back to 7 I was just wunderin' ...

Thanks for all your hard work!

Wow nice with touch screen

The machine itself doesn't come with a Key (Win 8) , and without any install disc / Recovery Disc.
I have to install an OEM Windows 7 64bit , sadly all Acer software (Hotkey , Power Management) doesn't work in Windows 7 (and so far they refused to release anything support "non" original support OS , which means they only provide drivers and software for Win 8 , which sucks )

I hope other OEM will make use of Temash ( plus Kabini too ) , any news from Computex said ASUS/Lenovo/HP will have some Kabini/Temash based Ultrathin coming out soon ??

AMD Notebook is hard to buy in local retail store , as most of them only know "Intel"

I tried run Performance test with Company of Heros *(when plugged in, of course)
at 1366x768 (Auto)


I tried MineCraft SMP again and the performance didn't change even I unplugged the power

I guess the Power profile just doesn't work and the CPU is running at Full speed

I hope the power profile problem getting fixed and Acer would provide Windows 7 driver if possible.

Sadly , after I E-Mail Acer for any software support with Windows 7
they said there will be no support for non Original OS that came with the system (Windows 8 , which sucks!)
and they will not provide any driver for non-Win8 solution (so no luck with Linux as well!)

Well that sucks...HARD !!

That pretty much rules out me ever buying one , I wonder how many sales will be lost due to these insane licensing rules, I also wonder how much microsucks are paying OEM's to lock in their crap software

Try using a program called classic shell for windows 8
http://www.classicshell.net/
It really helps. Also give linux time, once the chip is well understood there will be drivers for it in every distro.

[chinaguy]

Lets hope the return of the "START" icon with Windows8 SP1 will make things more like the look and feel of the Classic Windows7 thyme we all know and love.


I still yarn for the days of Windows2 and you had to start it off from a DOS command!!!

The SecureBoot really messed up the compatibility .....
Since Acer will not provide ANY support, I guess I have to wait for mod BIOS to come out

[Evantaur]

try start8

http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/

actually makes windows 8 usable

Right. I forgot about secure boot...

[imamage]

I will wait and see if Windows 8.1 makes it "usable" again
But for the mean time I will stick with Windows 7

[Darakian]

I really like windows 8 + classic shell.
Also can I request a test of natural selection 2 if you have it?
