Acer Aspire S5 Price: Rs 86,500When Intel launched the Ultrabook concept, these devices were envisioned to be much lighter, slimmer, and faster than a conventional laptop, yet not sacrificing on the ergonomics and comfort. In practice, very few Ultrabooks...

The Acer Aspire S5 looks good and performs really as well as we would expect of its high-performance hardware. It is extremely light and slim, thus very easy to carry along. The MagicFlip panel is certainly something you would like to show off for braggi...

twitter: @lisagade) Acer often takes the affordable road with their notebooks and Ultrabooks. The Aspire S3 was a tad budget among first gen Ultrabooks with more liberal use of plastics and a spinning hard drive rather than the then ubiquitous SSD dr...

We love the looks and the build quality. The Acer Aspire S5 not only looks and feels like a premium product, it's extremely thin and light too. Yet the Ultrabook doesn't feel flimsy and we'd trust it on the road. The MagicFlip is an interesting design...

In the past we have reviewed the Acer Timeline Ultra M5, which packs a lot of hardware for a chassis that’s slim, but it’s not slim enough to be a proper Ultrabook. In this field where the MacBook Air reigns supreme, Acer was actually one of the first...
Slim and stylish design, very light weight, and great performance through decent hardware...
Low resolution screen compared to competition, no backlit keyboard and rear ports access could be seen as gimmicky.
The Acer Spire S5 is a pretty decent ultrabook, with a great chassis design and overall snappy performance. While the benefits of the MagicFlip panel are moot, there’s no denying that the 11mm profile of the Aspire S5 is impressively thin. Of course, w...

The Acer Aspire S5-391-9880 is aptly named. It aspires to be something special, to combine beautiful design with uncompromising performance, to be a premium ultrabook worth every penny of its $1,399.99 (direct) price. It achieves most of its goals, just n...
Robust processor. Uses high-capacity SSD for storage. Includes both Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 ports. Design is thin and light.

Acer was one of the first companies to jump into the pool of Ultrabooks. The Acer Aspire S3 , which we reviewed last year, was a competent first entry. Battery life could have been better and performance was only so-so, but the laptop was otherwise compet...

The Acer Aspire S5 is an odd duck. It is extremely thin and provides excellent performance in some areas. We're unaware of another Ultrabook that can match the Acer Aspire S5's hard-drive performance, and most Ultrabooks also will be dusted by its Core...

Let’s have a peek at the Acer Aspire S5, the ultrabook with the mechanical “MagicFlip” dish in the back with ports that whirrs out when you need to plug in and don’t need all that pesky space this near-thinnest on the market notebook works with. It’s j...
In short, this ultrabook is one of if not THE thinnest notebook you’re ever going to want to own, and with a look and feel like this, you’ll have a great time picking one up. The pricing is a bit concerning when compared to other ultrabooks on the mar...

First generation technology is seldom perfect, and the fruit of Intel's ultrabook initiative was no exception. While vendors came out in force with some fairly impressive pieces of hardware, these first shots at the form factor all came away lacking...
This is the most impressed I've been with an Acer notebook in some time. Most of my usual whipping boys have been taken care of, and I'm left with an ultrabook that's for the most part very usable. We're pretty fond of the saying "there's no such thing as...

When I first laid my hands on Acer's Aspire S5 Ultrabook, I thought “wow, this is one slim ultrabook!” Indeed, the S5 is only about 11 mm thick, which makes it the thinnest ultrabook I've seen until this point. Surely the small form factor is one of the b...
