The Acer 361EVi laptop comes with:
Mobile Pentium III, 1GHz processor (with SpeedStep); runs at 700MHz in "battery optimised" mode without SpeedStep support in the OS
2 SO-DIMM memory slots (user accessible), accepting 256MB or 512MB modules (base RAM is a single 256MB module)
20GB 2.5" hard drive (IBM IC25N020ATDA04-0; 9.5mm, user accessible)
External floppy/DVD-ROM (8x, DV-28E-B), connecting via dedicated expansion-port (hardware hot-pluggable (powered from laptop))
Intel 830M mobile chipset for most internal devices (including graphics (video ram is "borrowed" from main memory), and sound). There is a single (ie, mono) speaker built into the laptop, but the stereo support is fine with external speakers.
13" (claimed; 12.7" measured) TFT display, XGA resolution (1024x768) and on-laptop external SVGA connector
Intel EEPro100 Ethernet Controller
Integrated 802.11b Wireless support (WaveLAN compatible, via PCMCIA controller)
(In theory) Built in bluetooth controller, available when 802.11b Wirelesss is not in use (I have not been able to identify the controller involved, but believe it may be a USB to Bluetooth adapter connected to the third USB controller in the machine, with some major port to trigger its insertion)
(Fast) Infrared support (on front of laptop, along with audio ports)
Two USB ports built in (Intel 82801CA/CAM USB controller), and two more available via port replicator; all four can be used simultaneously. There are three PCI to USB bridges in the machine, and I suspect the third is used with a USB to Bluetooth adaptor to provide Bluetooth support, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
One IEEE-1394 (Firewire) port (Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 controller)
Integrated AMR (audio modem riser) soft-modem, which appears to use a Lucent/Agere SoftModem (SV92P, Scorpio). This is not the Lucent/Agere WinModem which is supported by Linux, and is not supported by Linux (earlier Acer laptops had hardware modems; later Acer laptops use a SmartLink software modem for which a Linux driver is available).
One PCMCIA Type-II port (CardBus 32-bit compatible)
SmartCard Reader (via O2Micro OZ711E1 PCMCIA controller)
One Serial and One Parallel port (via included "Y" cable or port replicator), and one PS/2 (keyboard or mouse) port, plus audio in/out ports
85-key (slightly curved, in theory 5 degrees) keyboard, and 5 additional buttons
Optional port replicator (appears standard across Acer laptop range from 2000-2002) including power, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, serial, parallel, two USB ports, SVGA, modem, Ethernet, and audio ports, all connected to the laptop via a single expansion connector.
40WH Lithium Ion battery (claimed 3.5 hours max; measured 3.25 hours) charged by 100-240V A/C adapter
The laptop comes with Windows XP Professional (with both a set of two recovery CDs, and a system CD), and also OEM versions of Norton AntiVirus and Intel LanDesk Client Manager, and apparently PowerDVD player as well. I assume that these work with the laptop. I bought the laptop to run Linux (after extensive research), and booted straight into the Linux installer the first time I powered the machine on, removing the pre-installed software. When I need Windows software (rarely; for some development and testing) I use VMWare.
This output was taken with the PCI IDS from pciids.sourceforge.net on 2003/10/12. Not all of the devices are properly recognised yet, and given that the laptop has been out a year I suspect never will be unless I am able to identify them.
