The editors didn't like

  • Useless Caps Lock key
  • Doesn't take full advantage of high-res display
  • There's only one truly stupid thing about the S7

  • It's in the exact location your index finger probably goes when you lift an open laptop. It's very a

  • The second time's a charm for Acer: the company's refreshed S7 Ultrabook addresses all the things we disliked about the original. Just be prepared to pay a premium over competing laptops with similar specs....
