Acer Aspire S7-391-6810

In hands-on use, this Aspire S7 looked and felt identical to the preproduction sample from October 2012. Like many of the laptops and convertible laptop/ tablet hybrids we've reviewed recently, the Aspire S7 is a new-from-the-ground-up ultrabook,...

The Acer Aspire S7 is a premium-looking ultrabook, with great performance, strong battery life, and a high-res touch screen.

The expensive S7 is priced well beyond most other touch-screen Windows 8 laptops. The touch pad is not as responsive as it should be.

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.

Acer Aspire S7-391-9886

The Acer Aspire S7-391-9886 ($1,649.99 list) is one of the thinnest ultrabooks we've reviewed, especially given its touch screen. It comes with a quicker Core i7 processor than the run-of-the-mill ultrabook, and its SSD drives with RAID 0 striping make...

Very thin. Very light. 180-degree angle on screen. Clamshell design. 10-point touch screen. Comes with mouse. Clean desktop mode screen. Dual friction on hinge. Standard laptop design with touch screen. 1080p screen. IPS display

Mediocre battery life. Limited ports, requires dongles for VGA and Ethernet. Integrated graphics. Persistent cooling fans in high performance mode. Lots of premium features make this a pricey laptop

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.

Acer Aspire S7 Review (S7-391-6413)

The Acer Aspire S7 was introduced by the company nearly a year ago in June 2012 as one of the company's first touchscreen ultrabooks, and by far one of their best to date as it included a Full HD display, […]

If neither of those items matter to you in a touchscreen ultrabook, then the Acer Aspire S7 would make a fine addition to your arsenal as its light, powerful and has a great-looking 1080p screen. If its battery was better, then we could certainly...

Review Acer Aspire S7 391 Ultrabook

12 millimeter bullet. How many notebooks can fit in a height of twelve millimeters? With its high-end ultrabook, Acer presents this question. SSD-Raid, Intel Core-i7 ULV CPU, IPS Full HD touch screen and unibody style - any other questions?

Good workmanship, Extremely thin case, Lighter than MB Air 13, Full HD Display, Multi-touch panel, Very good viewing angles (IPS), TFT opening angle of 180 degrees, Extremely fast RAID 0 SSD, High performance, Cool under normal operation, Accessories:...

Glossy display, Low brightness on battery use, Almost no maintenance and upgrade options, Few interfaces, Short battery life, Sharp-edged chassis., Higher brightness on battery power. But then the battery life would be even shorter

Acer S7 Review

Beautiful and well-built; impressive performance; IPS touchscreen

Weak battery life; touchpad is a bit laggy; expensive

As if the Acer S7’s seductively slim figure and supremely good looks weren’t enough, this skinny vixen of a portable also boasts an impressive performance acumen. It must drive the competition crazy.

Acer Aspire S7

Elegant design, supremely thin and light. Excellent full HD touch screen

Short battery life

The Acer Aspire S7 11.6" is easy on the eyes both in terms of visual appeal and the sharp IPS full HD display. It looks and feels like a luxury notebook, with a hint of James Bond since it's so small and sleek. We love the EL backlighting on the...

Acer Aspire S7 Review

Acer has definitely done very well with the Aspire S7. This laptop managed to incorporate almost everything that we wished for in a Windows 8 ultrabook. It has a couple of shortcomings but those are readily overshadowed by its many impressive features.

Acer Aspire S7 Review

That leaves us with a best-in-class laptop with two distinct and important weaknesses. A bad trackpad is a serious knock against any laptop, let alone one that sells for $1650. Mediocre battery life doesn't help. Then again, literally everything else...

Acer Aspire S7 Review

The Aspire S7 is one of the best ultrabooks we have tested so far, and with its touchscreen display, it is built specifically to be used with Windows 8. The build quality is also brilliant, the looks are premium, and it houses a powerful processor...

Slim form factor, Blazing fast startup times and SSD transfer speeds, Beautiful responsive touchscreen, Battery life, Lightweight

Too many keys serve dual functions, Audio volume not loud enough, Expensive

Acer Aspire S7 (S7-391-73514G12aws) Windows 8 Ultrabook

The Aspire S7 Ultrabook will turn heads with its lovely design and excellent 13.3in touchscreen display

Excellent screen ; Lovely design ; Strongly built ; Very fast SSD

Shallow keys ; Touchpad could be a little better ; Battery life a little short

Thin and light construction, along with a clean design and an excellent touchscreen should make the Aspire S7 a popular choice among users who are after a premium Windows 8 Ultrabook. Its keys could use more travel, the touchpad could be a little more...
