Acer Aspire S7 review (2013): the second time's a charm for Acer's flagship Ultrabook

It wasn't easy writing a conclusion (much less a headline) for our original Acer Aspire S7-391 review. The company's third Ultrabook was near-perfect,

Nice build materials ; Great viewing angles ; Fast performance, longer battery life ; Improved touchpad ; Now runs quietly

Enormous power brick ; No 2,560 x 1,440 option in the US ; Power button is difficult to press ; Expensive for what it is

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.

Acer Aspire S7-392-5410

The über-light Acer Aspire S7-392-5410 ultrabook is attractive and powerful enough to be your all-day travel companion.

Thin and light. Strong build quality, with sturdy materials. Dual-friction hinge. Full-size HDMI port. 8GB of memory and 256GB SSD. 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi support. Long battery life. Very good benchmark test performance.

Sensitive touchpad. Odd keyboard layout. No included Ethernet or VGA dongle.Some bloatware.

Overall, the Acer Aspire S7-392-5410 is an great high-end ultrabook that simply has a lot of competition. There are a few drawbacks, like bloatware, the odd keyboard layout, and the overly sensitive trackpad. We figure that the majority of users who...

The glass-topped Acer Aspire S7 gets a new CPU

Better battery life adds to the appeal of this slim Windows 8 touch-screen ultrabook.

The ; has the same great design we loved last year, but the S7-392-6411 has a more battery-friendly Intel Haswell CPU.

The touch pad and keyboard still don't rate for a $1,400-and-up laptop, and other high-end ultrabooks cost less.

The Acer Aspire S7, a Windows 8 launch favorite that holds up nicely, gets a needed update to the latest CPUs for better battery life.

Acer Aspire S7-392-6411

The Acer Aspire S7-392-6411 is the current pinnacle in thin, light, powerful, and all day ultrabook laptop computing.

Very thin and light. Strong build quality/sturdy materials. Dual friction hinge. Very good benchmark test performance. Speedy wake from sleep. 8GB of memory. 2.4 and 5GHz Wifi support. No Bloatware. Very good battery life. Full size HDMI port.

Odd keyboard layout. Could use a larger SSD array. Thinness is expensive.

The Acer Aspire S7-392-6411's performance punctuates the system's excellent feature set, thinness, design, build quality, low weight, and general excellence. It is more than a worthy replacement of the Zenbook Prime Touch as our new Editors' Choice for...

I'm at 38,000 feet, in seat 20B on a Delta flight from San Francisco to New York City. I'm next to a large man in a pink shirt and tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses, who could barely wait until 10,000...

Gorgeous design ; Great battery life ; Beautiful display

Quirky touchpad ; Occasional performance glitches

Acer Aspire S7-392-6411 review

It's hard to believe, but we're getting close to the one-year mark in the Windows 8 era. Microsoft's still-controversial operating system was released in October 2012, and that was long-enough ago that we're now seeing the second generation of some of...

Acer Aspire S7-392 2013 Review

The first Aspire S7 was already a great ultrabook, except probably for the paltry battery life. The new Haswell-powered Aspire S7 has certainly solved that shortcoming. Same great design, lightweight form factor, impressive performance and a day-long...
