The build is great
And the Asus Aspire S3 is a nice looking laptop
If not spectacular. It’s surprisingly solid despite its thin build. Asus has managed To cram a lot into the Asus S3
And for a budget price (compared to other ultrabooks).The Intel Core i5 processor
Combined with 4GB of memory ensures that performance is at least relatively nippy. You should be able to do most things with the A

The editors didn't like
TN panel with very low contrast and inaccurate colours
Reduced connectivity
Speakers lack power
Low gaming capacity
No USB 3.0
Keyboard overcrowding leading to increased errors.
No USB3 ports
Poor keyboard
Unfortunately battery life isn’t so hot. The Asus S3 will last you around 5 hours before you’ll need to think about charging it again. When its competitors are boasting more than seven
And tablets such as the new iPad are boasting of 10 hours
Five hours just won’t cut it. It’s a real let down. And while the connectivity options are appreciated

Decent screen, dedicated graphics means better gaming than some competitors, versatile
Screen reflections, battery life just ok, keyboard keys a bit shallow, not the most thin/light
The Acer Aspire S3 is an Ultrabook that doesn't aim for superlative performance in any area, but instead balances the price-to-power ratio better than many competitors out there. It gives a decent performance, there's a good screen (despite reflect...
Abstract: Acer What is it? An Ultrabook with a non-ultra price. What's great? It's very slim and light, with good battery life, yet comes in at less than £700. What's not? The casing's a little plasticky, and the keyboard's cramped. Bottom line It can't match the ...
The people behind famous Acer have produced an ultrabook that is capable of fighting with the lightest and thinnest models and win. But the CPU is not an advantage, the battery kind of sucks and other performance issues stop this laptop from reaching top...

Abstract: The Aspire S3-951-6432 Ultrabook is the supermodel in Acers lineup: thin, attractive and well connected. It offers a good selection of features for the $1100 price, with a speedy i7 processor and a capacious 240GB SSD drive. Sections The Aspire S3-951-6...
Abstract: Product round-up It took a little while for the production lines to get going, but the first few months of 2012 have seen super-slim Ultrabooks completely outnumbering every other type of desktop or laptop PC coming our way. Intel’s tight definition o...

The Acer Aspire S3 is an attractive machine at first appearances and more attractive when you see the price tag. It however, doesn't have the features that compete with the best of the Ultrabook and lacks a little. However, it offers i5, ultraportable po...

The Asus S3 feels like a middle of the road laptop. It does everything you need it to do without ever excelling itself. A short battery life is the real kicker, but that’s the price you pay for an ultrabook that costs a lot less than many of its compet...
