  • 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 it’s one we’re quite taken with. Acer’s managed to stuff plenty of ports into the slim frame too
  • Extremely slim
  • Attractive white design
  • Touchscreen for Windows 8
  • Full HD display
  • Capacious hard drive
  • Gorgeous exterior
  • 1080p screen and good viewing angle
  • Thin
  • Light
  • Responsive touchscreen
  • Included leather envelope carry case
  • Backlit keys
  • Loads fast
  • Excellent IPS display
  • 10point multitouch
  • Fast 2D performance

The editors didn't like

  • 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 minor issue. The S7’s greatest sin is its trackpad. It’s loose and unresponsive in a way that’ll leave
  • Expensive
  • Not fantastic performance for the money
  • Trackpad isn't very responsive
  • Too expensive
  • Small trackpad lacks response to defter touches
  • Shallow key presses
  • Key backlighting isn't uniform
  • Fairly average battery life
  • Bothersome fan noise
  • Lacklustre battery
  • Fair share of bloatware
  • Gets loud (between 45 and 50 dB(A)) when the fan kicks in
  • Poor quality speakers
  • Glossy screen with inaccurate colours
  • Screen limited to 1080p
  • Too much bloatware
  • Noisy
  • Poor battery life
  • Sharp edges and awkward to open
  • Slightly below average battery life

  • The Acer S7 is the smallest and most powerful ultrabook available on the market today.  In fact, we cannot find any notebook that is available in a standard configuration with read and write performance of up to 1GB/s and this ultra will be looked at ver...

  • Acer has designed an ultrabook that’s thin, light, attractive, sturdy, and powerful. But it’s not a perfect portable computer.The Acer Aspire S7 is hampered by lousy battery life, an odd keyboard, a high-resolution display that’s both a blessing and a ...

  • Nearperfect build quality, strong aesthetics and powerful internals
  • A nearbroken trackpad and wimpy battery life
  • That leaves us with a best-in-class laptop with two distinct and important weaknesses. A bad trackpad is a serious knock against any laptop, let alone one that sells for $1650. Mediocre battery life doesn't help. Then again, literally everything else ...

  • If you'll pardon my slaughtering of Neil Armstrong's famous quote from the moon landing, there are two areas I want to focus on for the conclusion. First, there's what Acer has done today relative to the Acer of years past; second is how the end result of...

  • Abstract:  The well-made Aspire S7 is thin and light yet sturdy, but try the keyboard before you buyI'm just as tired of the "Ultrabook" label as anyone, but every now and then along comes a machine that does justice to the category. The Acer Aspire S7 is one of tho...

  • Superb quality, Beautiful IPS screen, Good performance, Good keyboard
  • Very loud fan, Soso touchpad, Expensive
  • The Acer Aspire S7 is one of the highest quality notebooks we've reviewed; the design looks great and the attention to detail is outstanding. The 13.3″ full HD display is bright, beautiful and has unlimited viewing angles thanks to IPS technology. Touch w...

  • Extremely thin and light, Attractive aesthetics, Wonderful 1080p display, Good sound quality, Great performance
  • Poor keyboard, Loud system fan, Battery life is below average, Not good for gamers
  • Acer's S7 is sleek, sexy, and quick. It's incredible that the company has managed to craft a laptop that performs so well while also keeping the chassis small, light, and attractive. The attention to detail is not on par with design leaders like Apple a...

  • Design is a definite step up from past Acer Ultrabooks, Gorgeous 1080p IPS touchscreen that other OEMs should, um, aspire to, Very speedy, thanks to the Ivy Bridge processors and RAID 0 SSD configuration, Dolby Digital-powered speakers are loud and pleasa
  • Keyboard is shallow and laid out oddly, Trackpad feels loose and flimsy, 4GB of RAM is soldered on and higher capacities aren't offered, Long-term reliability of RAID 0 SSD configuration may be questionable
  • EnlargeAndrew CunninghamThe Acer Aspire S7 is an admirable effort from a company that is trying to change its reputation, but its good looks are hampered by design flaws and deficiencies that make it difficult to recommend, especially at its $1,399 starti...

  • Vanishingly thin and light, 10-point touch screen with wobble-free hinge, Sharp 1080p display, Swift performance
  • Premium price, Shallow, quirky keyboard, Lackluster battery life
  • Astonishing: The thinnest and sexiest ultrabook we've seen is a touch-screen showpiece for Windows 8, as speedy as it is convenient and a sure-fire hit for the executive suite. But it's not cheap, and battery life could be better. ...
