While the previous Acer Aspire S3-951 ultrabook could point toward its relatively low price, especially for an ultrabook, to convince consumers to buy it, this no longer applies to the Acer Aspire S3-391 as there are now a few ultrabooks that are consider...

Abstract: If there was anything that can be pointed to as “the” thing CES was about, it's the ultrabook. These thin and portable laptops were presented by Intel with all the finesse of a sledgehammer. Intel's message is clear. Ultrabooks are here, and you're going ...

Abstract: We have heard a massive amount of hype about Ultrabooks, ever since we attended ASUS' launch at Computex this year . But Acer has the distinction of being the first company to actually put a production model of its S3 Ultrabook in our hands, and what a be...

With a slim, MacBook-Air-like design at a reasonable price, the Acer Aspire S3 is an example of how the Ultrabook laptop category can work if done right
The construction is a step below superpremium, connectivity is limited, and battery life is on the low side of acceptable
The Acer Aspire S3 is the closest you can get to the look and feel of a MacBook Air for less than $1,000, but it requires a few compromises....

Abstract: This is an ideal ultra-book with a blend of both SSD and HDD experience. Powered by Intel Core-i7 processor and 4GB RAM, the latest Aspire S3 has been upgraded with the latest Ivybridge processor. It is ultra slim and despite the metallic build, it is an ultra-ligh...
Very good keypad, Slim form factor, Decent performance, Generous storage space, Reasonably priced
Touchpad response is iffy, Battery life isn't the best around, Display hinge isn't the strongest
For an ultrabook that costs around Rs. 50,000, the Acer Aspire S3 does have a lot going for it - good build quality, true-to-ultrabook sleek form factor and snappy performance. Essentially, this will appeal to those who want an ultrabook on a budget...
Besides, if a few things Acer Aspire S3 manages to improvise on, before it reaches the market then it certainly can be a deal maker. The S3 needs to address the trackpad click action and narrow viewing angles could as well be improved. Nonetheless, the S3...

Slight difference in sizeAs I previously stated, the build quality is significantly better and is much lighter than its predecessor – 1.2kg vs 1.35kg. It is slightly larger too, if you look at this comparison here (ignore those 2 games, some of my favouri...

Abstract: IFA 2011 has been attacked and barraged by ultrabooks. Almost all of them borrowed the looks of the Apple Macbook Air and Acer had just announced the newest member of the ultrabooks that is set to compete with other ultrabooks and the cheapest portable ma...
