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

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
DualSSD storage, Precise, clean finish, Brilliant touchscreen, Many bundled accessories
Abysmal battery life, Poor audio performance, 4GB RAM limit, Limited to Windows 8

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. ...
