olympic special edition acer timeline 810t

The Acer Aspire Timeline 180t ultrathin has been around the block but is coming through the curtains with an Olympic facelift. Acer have just launched a Special Olympic Edition that we spotted for pre-order on Amazon.com for $579.99

We are shocked to find out that in comparison to the non Olympic everyday Timeline 1810 we are seeing some features that stop it from being a gold medal contender. Featuring an 11.6 inch screen with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, a very snappy 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor and this is basically where the similarities end. The Olympic edition starts loose its game face when it only comes loaded with 3G of RAM rather then 4G and is running the crippling Windows 7 Starter rather then Home Premium.

We are shocked an appalled that Acer would pair substandard performance with the Olympics. Poor showmanship Acer, poor showmanship.

    Hm, i can't confirm this…i bought the 1810tz olympic edition before christmas here in germany. Mine has the SU4100 1,3Ghz Dual-Core, 4gigs of ram, a 500gb harddrive, bluetooth but no 3g. I bought it für 599€. And as i need no 3g, it's the perfect device for me.
    Or are there two different models (1810t olympic edition &1810tz olympic edition)?
