What everybody seems to have missed is that this is a 64 bit machine, with a 64 bit operating system. It will take 8 GB of fully addressable RAM, which yields 1,695 MB of graphics memory. This thing rocks.

Ok, firstly, I'm going to help you correct some of your 'tech lingo'. Ram is measured in terms of gigabytes, abbreviated to GBs, so you have 3 GBs of Ram, not 3 Ghz.

Secondly, you either misunderstood your IT friend or he's a dunce. Windows 7 requires a minimum of 2 GB of ram to run well in most cases.

As for your slow computer problem, was it slow when you first started using the computer? If it was fast when you first started then you've just accumulated a good amount of malware that's slowing down your system.

If it has always been slow, then your machine specifically may be defective, then your best option is to return it.

Before returning it, I would also consider wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 from scratch. You can download the DVD Image from where ever, torrent, file sharing website or forum link, and then use your serial key on the bottom of the laptop to activate it.

I purchased my aspire 1410 in November 2010 at Costco who told me it just came out as Acer's latest release with 3 Ghz Ram running a pentium single cpu on Windows7 64 bit home premium. I've done all the tweeks listed on websites however this netbook runs slower than my old Toshiba I purchased in 2002. This 1410 takes so long to start, it often freezes when I run Skype or simply start my Xp excel or MS Word program. It takes forever to open pictures. I'm so frustrated with my Acer I want to return it and get my money back. My IT friend says Windows7 should run on a minimum of 8 Ghz of ram. What am I to do?

If you had an eee pc 1005 HA bought at 400, and were offered the acer 1410 SU3500 refurbished for 290 which would you go for?

Main use is for school!

Thanks for your input!

I got my 1410-8913 a couple of months ago. I am having issues with speed when I try to play my music while using the internet and doing a few tasks at once. I am looking to get a faster processor. I have the Intel Core 2 solo SU3500 1.4GHz, 800MHz FSB. What is a good Dual processor that I can upgrade to?

I have the single core version and its a decent beater book. It is snappier than my old Asus 1005HA by quite abit, however the keyboard feels cheap especially around wasd keys, they feel smooshy. The other huge negative is the terrible viewing angles, this has the worst viewing angles I have ever seen on any LCD screen, but for 300 bucks I am happy overall.

I do not know why acer would produce a laptop with the capabilities to have bluetooth but not actually install it. I would like to up grade mine if you find a supplier please post it.

I purchased the 1410, but it does not have bluetooth. Is it upgradeable?

I bought my 1410 last week as a replacement for a full size laptop. I found it at a wholesale club for $365. and rolled the dice. What a great machine. I use a tether to my Blackberry for internet and speed and surfing have been great. Hulu runs better than it did on the old full size.
I was leary about Windows 7 after unhappy experiences with Vista but it has been fine. The display seem more than adequate for viewing and the keyboard ergonomics are fine.
I want to up the memory to 4gigs abd see what it does for performance.

It appears so! I just picked my 1410 today (12/05/2009) from a Fry's Electronics in Renton, WA (Seattle area). In fact, I'm posting here using the 1410, and I gotta say I'm already loving this thing! Earlier in the year I bought one of the AspireOnes at $299, and that was a decent deal. But after seeing some reviews on this model, I just had to get my hands on it. This machine is awesome!

Good luck in your search steelman! Although I haven't hit their site in quite a while, I believe they are at http://www.frys.com, and think they do ship as well.

Is this little gem available for sale in the United States yet? I guess we have to get used to getting the best and the coolest after the rest of the world does. Sigh.
