Acer-S3


Specification:-
   Intel Core i5 2467M,
   4GB RAM,
   and 20GB Flash store for  instant      
      resume,
    13.3-inch screen (1366x768)
   Weighs upto - 1.4kgs








  Acer  S3 is the cheapest 'ultrabook' available in the country.And like it usually is in such cases.Acer has had
to compromise in certain areas to keep its price low.The question,though,is whether these hardware
tradeoffs affect user-experience in any way...

Quality & Design :-
   'Ultrabooks are defined by their slim desing,and-at just 0.7 inches at its thiest point and weighing 1.4 kgs-the S3 meets this criteria.Add to that,a brushed,aluminum lid that is impervious to fingerprints,and you have a devious that is a head and shoulder above the usual black and grey laptops of yore.
    However,unlike others ultrabooks,the S3 does not boast  a unibody desing-its palm rest is made out of plastic while the rest of the body is magnesium alloy, which for some reason feels more plasticky than metal.
This obviously takes away a little from the  gadget is put together very well with no creaking parts or flex
anywhere.

Screen,Keyboard& touchpad :-
  The Acer machine sports a 13.3-inch screen with resolution of 1366x768 pixels-a bit low for such a premium product.Couple that with poor viewing angles and colours lack punch and vibrancy,and you have a display that leaves a lot to be desired. The S3's plastic keys have a textures feel to them, which is nice,but they lack tactile feedback- somethings that was quite bothersome especially when I had to spend hours typing on it. The touchpad is spacious and textured.And while was not  as smooth as the touchpad made out of glass,it is definitely better than those found in similar-price laptops
