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...

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. ...

Abstract: Have you picked up your laptop lately? If it's getting long in the tooth, it's probably as heavy as it is slow. Fortunately there's no better time to look for a more portable and modern machine than during the holidays. Even if you can't find a year-end d...

One of the few standout products from the first wave of Windows 8 laptops, the Acer Aspire S7 proves that Apple does not have a monopoly on great design.

Though the Acer Aspire S7-391-9886 is a very good choice for the "money is no object" buyer, some quirks and a brief battery life keep this ultrabook from earning our highest honors....
