Acer Aspire S3 2014

Hands-on at CES 2014: Get a look at Acer's latest affordable Ultrabook

The Acer Aspire S3 is another solid Ultrabook in the Aspire range. It's not a truly dynamic product, but solves several of the earlier model's issues while bringing it into the present with numerous hardware upgrades.

Acer Aspire S3 review

An Ultrabook-style laptop with dedicated gaming hardware

Decent 1080p IPS screen ; Fairly slim and light ; Metal body

Disappointing battery life ; Somewhat tricky trackpad ; GPU not that powerful

The Aspire S3 is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. However, not every product needs to be a king to be a success. It's only the battery life that really disappoints here.

Acer Aspire S3 review (2014)

Slim, light, good-looking laptops are great. If you spend half your life rushing between places with more work to do than is strictly healthy then a decent one is exactly what you'll need. But to fit the MacBook Air-style blueprint in a Windows 8.1...

Decent screen, dedicated graphics means better gaming than some competitors, versatile

Screen reflections, battery life just ok, keyboard keys a bit shallow, not the most thin/light

The Acer Aspire S3 is an Ultrabook that doesn't aim for superlative performance in any area, but instead balances the price-to-power ratio better than many competitors out there.

Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook

Apple's MacBook Air has started something of a war. Ultrabooks - the name being thrown around to describe manufacturers' slender yet powerful, Windows OS-based laptops - are popping up left, right and centre at the moment. The Aspire S3 is something of...

Slender, light, attractive design, SD card slot, aluminium lid

Not a great screen resolution or viewing angle, plasticky keyboard with bunched up keys, no USB 3.0, poor USB port placement at the rear, so-so battery life, pricey for what it is, review configuration isn’t one available off the shelf

The Aspire S3 is something of a mixed bag. We had high hopes as this Ultrabook’s sublime form and finish looks enticing from the outside.

Acer Aspire S3-392G Ultrabook review

Acer's S3 has always been one of the more affordable Ultrabook models on the market, partly because it used a conventional hard drive rather than more expensive solid-state storage.

The Acer Aspire S3 has a lot going for it, including an attractive, slimline design and high-quality IPS display. It also provides good performance for an Ultrabook in this price range, thanks to its hybrid storage drive and nVidia graphics. Battery...

REVIEW: Acer Aspire S3-392G

Acer may be in a distant fourth place behind the top three PC manufacturers – Lenovo, HP and Dell – but its latest Aspire S3-392G Ultrabook proves that it can produce attractive designs at a competitive price. Updated for 2014, the Aspire S3 now...

Business travellers who spend most of their time on the road may prefer a laptop with greater battery life and connectivity. Yet the Aspire S3 is still attractive, lightweight, and provides good performance for a lower price than many of its Ultrabook...

Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook

The buzzword around today is Ultrabook not simply because they are small and light but they also boot exceedingly fast. So what exactly does this Acer unit have to offer that will make you reach into your wallet to buy.

The Acer Aspire S3 ultrabook measures 32x22x1.5cm at the back and less than 1cm thick at the front, it weights 1330grams. With care it should power your needs for a full day. With such thin sides the only place most connections can be is at the back....
