Abstract: The portable computer family continues to expand. First we has laptops/notebooks, then came netbooks closely followed by tablets. Now Ultrabooks join the party....
Keyboard overcrowding leading to increased errors.
The Acer Aspire S3 is stylish, light and impressively thin with good visuals. There is more than enough power for daily multitasking, with an attractive power saving ‘Instant On’ feature. Although it has significant peripheral omissions, along with som...
Short battery life, Minimal storage space, Frustrating touchpad
While the Acer Aspire S3-951 is a well-built and powerful ultrabook, which offers good value for money, we were more drawn to the Toshiba Satellite Z830 and the Asus Zenbook . However, a cut-price Core i5 version of the Acer Aspire S3-951 can be had if y...
Attractive and affordable, Slim and sleek, Solid, all-metal chassis, Up to 240GB SSD
Awkward connectivity, No USB 3.0, Average battery life, No keyboard backlighting
As the first Ultrabook we've reviewed, Acer's 13.3in Aspire S3 has a lot to live up to, and on quite a few points it manages it. We're impressed with its performance, build quality and screen, while it also scores points in the looks and usability categor...
The best summary I can think of for the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook is that it’s a splendid product with some annoying details. On one hand, it’s a good all-rounder in an amazingly slim, lightweight package. On the other hand, the keyboard will take some...
While Acer is the first vendor to get its Ultrabook 'out there', the Aspire S3 unfortunately suffers from a lack of features and just feels a little underdone overall. It could use a backlit keyboard, some more connectivity (such as USB 3.0 and Gigabit...
No USB 3.0, Awkward port placement, Top processor option only available with a HDD, Screen resolution not as high as competition
On its own, the Acer Aspire S3 is a slim, good-looking bit of kit with powerful components under the hood. Sadly, it's beaten to the punch by the competition who offer better specs for the same money....
Very slim and light, Good general performance: CPU, RAM and SSD, 5h battery life, Quality audio in/out, Moderate temperatures
TN panel with very low contrast and inaccurate colours, Reduced connectivity, Speakers lack power, Low gaming capacity, No USB 3.0
Although imperfect (glossy mediocre quality screen, poor connectivity), the Acer Aspire S3 does deliver in terms of battery life, processing power and thickness (under 2 cm). Although the MacBook Airs still have certain advantages over this model, nota...

Fast booting, Slim and light design, Great processor power
RSI inducing keyboard, Slightly underwhelming battery, Some pre-production issues
The Acer Aspire S3 is an impressive portable, which offers superb power in an incredibly lightweight design.We’re really happy that this marriage of proper computing power, and great design finally has a home in the PC market.We hope that the small pr
