Overview & Features top

Acer Aspire S Series

Enjoy life on the go in an instant with the Aspire S Series -- Acer's most mobile and responsive notebook ever. This techno-wonder comes in an ultra-aerodynamic, super-slim design, yet delivers everything you expect from a standard-size notebook.

Ultra-fast responsiveness

Acer Green Instant On technology eliminates time wasted shutting down and restarting. Put the Aspire S Series to sleep, and spring it back to life in less than 2 seconds! After 8 hours in Sleep mode, or after the period you set, the notebook enters Deep Sleep, conserving battery life for up to 50 days… yet when you come back, it turns right on! And, with Acer Instant Connect, the Aspire S Series quickly reconnects to your most-used access points, so you can get on the Internet 4X faster, whether you're at home, at work or in one of your favorite hangouts.

Ultra-slim design

The Aspire S Series is razor-thin and featherlight, at just 13 mm (0.51") slim and under 1.4 kg -- a real delight to carry. Revolutionary display technology integrates the 13.3" frame, cutting the bezel thickness by a third, while the super-lightweight embedded lithium-polymer battery is custom-shaped to fit the ultra-thin chassis. The aluminum/Mg-Al case adds to the sleek look and feel, while protecting the LCD and making the Aspire S Series extra strong and durable.

Ultra-smart performance

The solid state drive (SSD) gives you quick access to your files, while an optional HDD offers huge storage space. The embedded lithium-polymer battery can last up to 7 hours on a single charge, so you get great mobile freedom. Plus, professionally tuned speakers with Dolby® Home Theater® v4 trumpet cinema-quality audio, and HDMI® connectivity is your ticket to high-definition large-screen entertainment. Behind the scenes is a 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor that enables speedier multitasking while consuming less power. What's more, the new airflow design keeps the notebook constantly cool for your comfort even when you use it for hours at a time.

Ultra-seamless connectivity

Video chat anytime, anywhere with anyone you wish! The Acer Crystal Eye 1.3 MP HD webcam plus Acer Video Conference Manager instant messaging software make sure that you can see and be seen, hear and be heard, as clear as a bell. Browse and connect all you want with Wi-Fi®; share everything you have via Acer clear.fi -- the smartest way to enjoy multimedia among different devices within your network; and use Bluetooth® 4.0, featuring low-energy technology, for quick, short-range wireless file transfers.

Review: The Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook costs less than a MacBook Air and even other knockoffs, but not without a few sacrifices. Read more ...

Acer Aspire S3
Ever since the MacBook Air came out, consumers--and other notebook makers--have been lusting after that ultra-slim design. The 13-inch Acer Aspire S3 parrots this sexy aesthetic with a brushed aluminum lid, 3-pound weight, and half-inch thick chassis. Read more ...
PROSThin and light; Less expensive than competition; Good performance
CONSVery short battery life; Cheap plastic chassis; Slow hard drive; Stiff keyboard; Limited viewing angles; Poor audio

Very impressive
I have also done fairly extensive testing with the machine in Ubuntu and Fedora, they both work fine, but you have to do some tweaking to get fan speed control and brightness settings to work. Read more ...
PROSBattery Life - with the lowest screen brightness and normal usage with Wifi you can easily squeeze out 4.5 hours
CONSThe solid state is great for sleeping and waking up, but it would have been nice to have the entire operating system on a solid state drive to improve the overall performance. I don't feel that the machine is slow by any means, but it would be much faster if the entire hard drive was solid state

I <3 this machine/work of art.
I am not a techie. I bought this for school. I wanted something light, nothing too big, wouldn't give me 3rd degree burns, and would allow me to do some light gaming (think Facebook games and Virtual Villagers). I really do love this computer. It is exactly what I wanted. Read more ...
PROSDoesn't overheat, Fast, Good price, Light Weight, Nice keyboard, Nice screen
