The editors didn't like

  • Looks good and feels good overall, Long battery life, Very good screen
  • Keyboard could be better, Touchpad clicked whenever we picked up the unit, Power button location, No accelerometer
  • Acer's premium Ultrabook gets a fourth-generation Core i7 CPU, which gives it much better overall battery life without really sacrificing performance. It's a very good unit, but it has some issues that could be annoying to some users, including touchpad t...

  • For $2399, the Core i7 version of the Aspire S7-392 is definitely a premium product, and it's worth it if you want something light and sturdy, a good looking screen, solid overall performance, and useful built-in ports. However, it's not perfect. The clic...
