Acer Aspire S7 review (2013): the second time's a charm for Acer's flagship Ultrabook
The second time's a charm for Acer: the company's refreshed S7 Ultrabook addresses all the things we disliked about the original. Just be prepared to pay a premium over competing laptops with similar specs.
Pros:
- Nice build materials
- Great viewing angles
- Fast performance
- longer battery life
- Improved touchpad
- Now runs quietly
Cons:
- Enormous power brick
- No 2,560 x 1,440 option in the US
- Power button is difficult to press
- Expensive for what it is

Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabook Review
Intel's 4th generation Core processors, based on the company's Haswell microarchitecture, have done good things for ultrabooks this year. Thanks to Haswell, Ultrabooks have moved much closer to Intel's original vision of thin, light, low-power (but still powerful) systems that eschew outdated...
Pros:
- Strong performance in office applications and reasonable graphics capabilities
Cons:
- Keyboard layout puts important keys in unexpected places

Cumbersome with no memory
This is the worst laptop I've ever owned. The interface is inconsistent, the display is too small or too smashed, the touchpad and touchscreen and mouse cant decide who is in charge. I haven't added any programs and the memory is almost gone. What a waste of money.
Pros:
- small size
Cons:
- everything else

Battery Life & Price not work getting
I got this laptop after 6 months or more in research and after trying it out for a few days, I would have to say, the price is not worth the laptop. Its a nice laptop but the battery barely lasts 3 hours; that's with very light running.

Fans produce 50db
Scroll the page, change the internet tab and your cpu is immediately under load and you get an airplane. It has got 2 fans running at 10K rpm and they do need to run that fast as the heat-sink is probably non-existent given this thin profile in the back. Beside that, keys have absolutely no travel.

Acer Aspire S7-391-9886
Though the Acer Aspire S7-391-9886 is a very good choice for the "money is no object" buyer, some quirks and a brief battery life keep this ultrabook from earning our highest honors.

stylish, pricey, disappointing
I really needed a new laptop for work, I also really wanted a 1080p screen, ultrabook, and will not buy an apple product (that's a whole other story), so this was my best option. If you do not need it right away, I would wait for things to improve especially with Windows 8 compatibility.
Pros:
- Beautiful and stylish, light weight
- Touchscreen, windows 8* (also a con), great 1080p display
Cons:
- Several disappointments
- battery seems like it lasts only around 4 hrs web browsing at 1/2 brightness
- touchpad is only a few steps above horrendous (that distinction is for the Asus Zenbook Prime touchpad which was so bad I had to return the laptop for this one
- for example typing an email every

The Acer Aspire S7 has lots going for it: Windows 8 on a touchscreen works a treat, and its design is all its own. But in a world where a similarly sized MacBook Air costs as little as £850, there seems little point in bothering with rivals priced well above £1,000.
Pros:
- We won't name names, but some Windows Ultrabook makers have completely ripped off Apple's design (Oh go on then: we mean you, Asus)
- The Aspire S7 doesn't suffer from this: it may be thin and light with a tapering chassis, but its metal frame and white lacquered top give it its own unique style, and...
Cons:
- While we like the design of the Acer Aspire S7, we're a bit baffled by some of the nonsense Acer's scrawled on it around the keyboard
- We doubt you'll feel the need to be constantly reminded that it's been "Professionally Tuned", or that the sound has been "Dolby Home Theater"-ified, But that's a...

Acer Aspire S7 review
Looks great, but it has poor keyboard and battery life
12 years ago
It looks much better than it is actually. It is stupid that is terribly.
This product was recommended me by friend as a light and presentable ultrabook, which is comfortable for traveling. I liked its design and weight but when I was dealing with it I disappointed seriously. The battery works just 4 hours, while it was written - to 6.
