ACER ASPIRE S3 UTLRABOOK REVIEW
"The Aspire S3 is truly designed to meet
notebook users' needs, combining essential features of the smartphone and
tablet PC, such as fast startup and Internet connectivity, with long battery
life. Matched with its slim form, the Aspire S3 will provide a fresh experience
and set a major milestone in the history of Acer's notebook development,” said
Celeste Gibbens, Marketing Manager for Acer Africa
Let me start out by saying I am the
person that technology seems to be allergic to. So when I got the opportunity
to review and use the very sleek and ultra thin ACER Aspire S3 Ultrabook I was
rather surprised and over the moon! My current laptop is ancient, bulky and
certain buttons don’t work, some days it doesn’t work all together!
So…receiving this beautiful piece of
machinery was truly a breath of fresh air. After using it I realised it isn’t me
who repels technology… It was simply the case of using an average PC that didn’t
suit my needs or functionality.
The Acer was my awakening to easy,
functional and fast communication with mobility.
I received a press pack with some
wonderful goodies to test out what the new Ultrabook offers. An ultra fast
stopwatch to check its quick connectivity – 2.5 seconds and an ultra thin
measuring tape to measure the sleek beauty – 1.3cm and weighs less than 1.4kgs.
Not forgetting a much-needed fast action memory stick! Bonus! It is also
equipped with a full-size Acer FineTip chiclet keyboard, designed for
comfortable use and maximum productivity. All-day usability is assured by a
super lightweight high-density battery that delivers up to 7 hours of battery
life.
It also
boasts a high definition digital/video playback, a 2-1 card reader that
supports SD cards and multimedia cards and an Acer Crystal Eye 1.3 mega pixel
camera and microphone. I put these all to the test and they proved beyond
expectation!
The best part - being able to carry the
Ultrabook around with me, it made my life so much easier! Fitting perfectly
into my handbag (bliss) and since it had such a great battery life I was able
to take it to varsity and then, if I had to attend any meetings or
work on an essay or assignment, but wasn't going to be home straight away, its
functionality made it great for me to use and to keep up to date with all my
work and admin while on the go.
Often I work late at night on projects
and assignments or I can't always be at my desk, this means that sometimes it
needs to rest on my lap or bed. (especially when I relax and watch series or
need to read online). Now you know that awkward heat that rises from your
laptop when you put it on your lap, bed or couch? And you fear you may catch
alight? Well, that is definitely not the case with the Ultrabook.
The
Aspire S3 features a vent-free bottom so the notebook rests comfortably on your
lap. Warm components are smartly placed away from the palmrest and touchpad
area, so you won’t feel any heat discomfort. The fan motor is optimized to
enhance efficiency and lower power consumption to help increase system battery
life.
For the first time I actually felt
like I could use technology to its fullest and not have to lug around a heavy
laptop or worry about battery life. Most of all I felt like it was an extension
of me, the stylish look and feel made me feel comfortable and confident in
using it. I also found I was able to be more productive and motivated with my
work. My fear of technology failure was overcome very quickly!
I can highly recommend this beautiful sleek piece of
machinery and suggest you get your hands on one ASAP! Easy to use, functional
fast support with light weight and stylish looks................. I am sold!

from R8 999.00 and available from Dion Wired and Makro.
