Acer Aspire S7 review Review

The Aspire S7 combines a super-slim, attractive design with a good touchscreen to help get the best out of Windows 8. Its Core i7 processor provides a decent performance, but it's not the powerhouse you'd hope it would be for the price.
Pros:
  • Extremely slim
  • Attractive white design
  • Touchscreen for Windows 8
  • Full HD display
  • Capacious hard drive
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Not fantastic performance for the money
  • Trackpad isn't very responsive

Review: Acer S7

When Intel first launched its Ultrabook branding last year it was met with a handful of different models from the major PC manufacturers. In the wake of Windows 8 we are going to see this trickle turn into a flood, as the number and diversity of Ultrabook designs swells with features designed to...

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...

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.
