Acer S 13 is a new Windows 10-powered ultraportable designed to rival the likes of the Dell XPS 13 and the HP Spectre 13 to a significant extent, more particularly on price. The Acer Aspire S 13 Ultrabook features an elegant, premium design and is driven by a sixth-generation Intel Core i processor.
Design and Display
Parading an aluminium chassis, the Acer S 13 is a solidly built laptop that should withstand occasional knocks and drops. It has diamond-cut edges and its hinge features metallic coating.
The notebook is both ultra-slim and lightweight at just 14.4 millimetres and about 1.4 kilograms respectively. Acer S 13 will be made available in pearl white and obsidian black colours.
The ultraportable sports a 13.3-inch diagonal display with Full HD (1,080p) resolution. This optional touchscreen uses in-plane switching (IPS) technology to deliver amazing wide-angle viewing.
Performance
Acer has decided not to pinch on performance with the Aspire S 13 by equipping it with the latest Intel Core i series processors. You will be able to get a unit with a Core i3, i5 or i7 CPU, as your pocket can support.
The ultrabook can be paired with up to 8 GB of RAM for significantly robust performance and smooth multitasking. The use of solid-state drives with a capacity of up to 512 GB for storage ensures faster boot times and responsiveness.
Miscellaneous Specs and Features
The S 13 will run on the latest Windows 10 operating system. The juicer on the Acer Aspire S 13 is expected to offer about nine hours in battery runtime, similar to what the HP Spectre is rated to be capable of delivering. An optional 3-cell, 54WHr Li-Ion battery will supposedly give you up to an amazing 13 hours on a charge!
The ultra-slim notebook will come with a reversible USB Type-C port. Ports and interfaces also include two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port and an SD card slot.
