  • Exceptionally thin and light, yet powerful, SSD, superior audio, dual-band Wi-Fi
  • SSD limits storage to 256GB, No ethernet, has bloatware, and is a tad pricey

  • Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article, ACER, Aspire, Ivy Bridge, laptops, ultrabooks, Windows 7
  • Loud, grinding fan. Small keys, too widely spaced. Arrow keys are so diminutive they're nearly unusuable. Two USB ports isn't enough

  • Fast processor, Absurdly quick solid-state drives, Among the thinnest, lightest laptops available
  • Bland design, Annoying connectivity, Average display, Small battery, Massively overpriced
  • The Acer Aspire S5 is an odd duck. It is extremely thin and provides excellent performance in some areas. We're unaware of another Ultrabook that can match the Acer Aspire S5's hard-drive performance, and most Ultrabooks also will be dusted by its Core ...

  • In short, this ultrabook is one of if not THE thinnest notebook you’re ever going to want to own, and with a look and feel like this, you’ll have a great time picking one up. The pricing is a bit concerning when compared to other ultrabooks on the mar...

  • Fast performance, Good keyboard feel for such a slim (0.6-inch) and light (2.6-pound) laptop
  • Expensive, Noisy cooling fan, Tiny cursor-control keys, Inconvenient rear-mounted ports
  • Very thin (thanks to a gimmicky motorized port cover) and very fast (thanks to Core i7 power and 256GB of solid-state storage), the Acer Aspire S5 is a gadget lover's ultrabook. Can you resist its $1,400 charms? Read More...

  • The Acer Aspire S5 is an incredibly thin and light ultrabook that hides its ports, including Thunderbolt, behind a clever motorized door
  • That port door, named the MagicFlip, is a potential problem if it ever breaks down. The keyboard isn't backlit, and battery life could be better
  • Even thinner and lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air, the Acer Aspire S5 is a great example of an ambitious ultrabook, held back by a few flaws and its high price.

  • This is the most impressed I've been with an Acer notebook in some time. Most of my usual whipping boys have been taken care of, and I'm left with an ultrabook that's for the most part very usable. We're pretty fond of the saying "there's no such thing as...
