Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook Review And Specs

Acer Aspire S3 has very thin dimensions. In addition, this device has a medium-size due to the use of screen measuring 13.3 ". Although it seemed thin, as we hold the Ultrabook this feels very solid. This may be due to the use of unibody (battery is not removable and is fused with the casing) and the aluminum material on the cover of the LCD screen. Acer Aspire S3 itself is wrapped with silver all over his body, both on the inside and outside with black accents on the hinges. The first impression when we picked it also feels quite light and pleasant to be grasped by hand because it only has a thickness of 13mm. in our opinion Ultrabook class is very nice to be invited to travel.


Acer Aspire S3 uses a screen size of 13.3 "with a maximum resolution of 1366 × 768. Talking about the display, the Acer Aspire S3 uses a glossy screen. It will be a little annoying when used outdoors or a room with a beam that is too bright. However, you can minimize this by raising the level of brightness. Viewing angle is also quite good because the screen does not change color gradation that are too excessive when viewed from the left and right. The screen will change color gradation when you see it from above.

Cooling system on the Acer S3 was interesting. Ultrabook cooling system is not like a notebook that has a hole in and out in addition to casing. At Acer S3 air inlet is placed below the keyboard and for the disposal is on the back. This is because space is limited and to get rid of heat to the back side, not in the direction of your hand (right or left side). This cooling system was very efficient. Apparently, all the products Ultrabook will be using the design of cooling systems like this
