Acer Aspire S3

The Acer Aspire S3 was the first ultrabook out of the gate, and was an attractive $899. However, it cut a few corners, offering just a 20GB SSD in combination with a 320GB mechanical hard drive, where other ultrabooks have a full-size SSD. While it was able to resume from sleep in a matter of seconds, its performance and boot time were well behind its competition.
Now, Acer is upping the specs of the S3–adding a 240GB SSD and an Intel Core i7 processor–and upping the price to $1,299. This configuration should see performance on a par with ultrabooks such as the ASUS Zenbook UX31 and the Lenovo Idea Pad U300s. We’re interested to see if it will improve upon the S3′s poor battery life of 4 hours and 23 minute.
