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

Five hours just won’t cut it. It’s a real let down. And while the connectivity options are appreciated

Two USB ports may mimic the MacBook Air, but it's still not enough. Performance is average at best. Surprisingly loud and aggressive fan. Stuffed to the gills with shovelware (When's the last time you saw an eBay icon on the desktop?)

The Acer Aspire S3 has a super-thin profile, larger storage capacity than competitors, and unmatched affordability, but it has some rough patches, like a cheap-feeling construction and a disappointing display. ...
The first Ultrabook to go on sale in the US is as thin and light as you'd expect and also happens to be the cheapest, but its battery life and performance are underwhelming....
