Acer Aspire S3 UltraBook Review

Probably one of the very best features of the new Acer Aspire S3 is that it's currently on sale for $100 off regular price. With a retail price of $899, but a street price for the Acer Aspire S3 hovering around the $799 mark it's suprising to see such a great deal on a notebook from Acer in such a short time since it's release

Acer S3 Specifications

I will get to the specs about the Acer ultrabook in a second, but the very first thing I want to talk about is that this is one of the very first ultrabooks on sale at Amazon and the reason for this is of course the fact that you can buy pretty much anything on sale there, it's that this is one of the first notebooks on sale that weigh under 3 pounds, offer a 7 hour battery life and continue to get great reviews as one of the best notebook computers on sale so far in 201 for one good reason : you can leave you AC adapter that can weigh as much as the notebook itself, at home. Balanced with the weight loss and the Acer, while not the cheapest notebook you can buy this year offers some pretty unique features:

1. Two Hard Drives

Unlike more traditional notebooks that offer one hard drive, the S3 from Acer offers two drives installed from the factory: The first is your traditional hard drive, running 5400 RPM and with a maximum capacity of 320GB. The second drive is the much faster SSD hard drive that despite it's comparable small size, is big enough at 20GB to install your operating system on, and due to the solid state technology where there are no moving parts inside, the Acer S3 offers blazing fast startup times and wake from sleep.

2. Fast Processors

This is where it's make it or break it for most notebooks and that's just how fast is the computer? And the S3 is very fast thank you, and thanks to the Intel Core Dual Core i5 processor tucked inside. This is the mid priced processor from Intel and although there are faster processors available the Intel i5 is more than fast enough for the tasks that this notebooks is designed for.

3. Gorgeous Design

Of course, the weight and battery life are the two main reasons you would choose an ultrabook over an ordinary everyday laptop but style is to be considered too and the beautiful design is sure to please all ages of consumers interested in either a notebook upgrade for thier plain old and usually black in color notebook to this ultrabook from Acer that's so much easier on the eyes.
