The editors liked
Excellent build quality
Vibrant touchscreen display
Thin and light
Yet still very powerful
The battery life
Obviously
But exceptional if not identical battery life is standard across every Haswell generation ultrabook. The screen is wonderful
And especially good on colors compared to some other panels. It's only really matched by the new Son
Strong performance in office applications and reasonable graphics capabilities
Dual-torque hinge means you can touch the screen without moving the display
Solid battery life
Although there is room for improvement here
Sturdy
Light chassis that should withstand day-to-day bumps and bangs
Attractively styled and well-built
Great 1080p IPS touchscreen

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
And that's its power button. It's on the back-left side
And it is astonishingly easy to press. In fact
It's in the exact location your index finger probably goes when you lift an open laptop. It's very a
Keyboard layout puts important keys in unexpected places
Drive space is limited (though extremely fast)
Keyboard still uses an odd layout that seems unnecessary given the unused space in the palmrest
Tweaky trackpad
Not much of a performance upgrade over last year's model
Though it's still plenty fast for most general computing tasks
Shorter battery life than previous version
Underside runs hot
Tinny audio
The touch pad and keyboard still don't rate for a $1
400-and-up laptop
And other high-end ultrabooks cost less
Hidden power button
A few undersized keys
Not the fastest SSD
Expensive
A six-row keyboard would have been better
Screen not the brightest
Dongles for extra video or LAN connectivity not included
No Thunderbolt
Sensitive touchpad. Odd keyboard layout. No included Ethernet or VGA dongle.Some bloatware
Odd keyboard layout. Could use a larger SSD array. Thinness is expensive

If you're looking for a svelte laptop to show off, yet still be able to do real work in Windows 8, the Acer Aspire S7-392-6411 is the ultrabook you want at the top of the list. It's the current pinnacle of the ultrabook trend and shows the brilliance tha...
Still thin, light, and attractive, Battery life is much improved, Better keyboard, Runs quieter than previous model
Gets very warm under load, Minor aesthetic issues mar the overall design, Keyboard still isn't great, Screen not as bright as previous model
For the most part, Acer's updated S7 is a triumph of improved design and internals. Battery life is a lot better (although screen brightness is sacrificed), the keyboard's travel no longer feels as shallow as a reflecting pool, and fan noise is no longe...

Yes. Hell yes. This has been my favorite Windows laptop to date. The 14-inch Razer Blade was pretty wonderful as well, but its screen was too much of a letdown. We still need to take a look at the refreshed versions of other top ultrabooks—especially the...
