Ultrabooks and hybrid PCs can be truly remarkable pieces of hardware but in order to find them, you have to look at the ones costing close to a lakh as these are generally the flagship models.
We have already seen some from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Sony and now, it’s time to take a look at Acer’s flagship offering called the Aspire S7.
Acer Aspire S7 available in white Gorilla Glass 2 or sleek aluminum, the Aspire S7 Series Ultrabook is pretty and smart. Its Full HD touch display beckons you to be social, get stuff done and have fun. The keyboard auto-illuminates.1 to the perfect glow for comfortable use in dim settings, while Acer TwinAir cooling makes this Ultrabook a pleasure to hold.
Acer Aspire S7, It may not be the world's thinnest -- that title belongs to its 13-inch brother, the S7-391 (0.47 inches thick) -- but the 11-inch Acer Aspire S7-191 is remarkably svelte and portable. This aluminum beauty weighs just 2.2 pounds, making it lighter than the 11-inch MacBook Air (2.4 pounds), as well as the Sony Vaio Duo 11 (2.8 pounds). It is even lighter than the HP Envy x2 (3.1 pounds) when that tablet is connected to its keyboard.
The touchable, classy ultrabook is targeted right at the road-warrior, power-hungry, super-user. The S7 is an expensive machine. The starting price hovers near $1400, but our Core i7 configured spec clocks in at $1650. For the price customers do see a superlative spec sheet and a beautifully designed body.
