Acer has just unveiled Aspire S5, hailing it as the world’s thinnest Ultrabook. In fact, it was so slim, it only measures 15 mm at the maximal point, weighs less than 1.35 kg and is built with a 13.3-inch (34 cm) LCD display. Moreover, it features Acer’s Green Instant On technology for fast boot as well as quick resume, and Acer Always Connect, which allows users to manage their files on their devices at anytime, anywhere — even from sleep.

The Aspire S5 features an Intel  Core processor, SSD storage for speed and increased shock resistance, Dolby® Home Theater v4, long battery life via the PowerSmart battery pack, with a 3X longer life cycle1 than traditional batteries, and is equipped with a chiclet keyboard.

The Aspire S5 is Acer’s first Ultrabook to feature a MagicFlip I/O port panel just below the hinge that enhances the overall slenderness and streamlined form of the S5. When needed, a press of the MagicFlip key opens the panel to reveal a selection of I/O ports, such as HDMI®, USB 3.0 and 20 Gbps Thunderbolt.

Shipment for Aspire S5 will starts in Q2 2012.

Flaunt your HD CineCrystal Display through Aspire 5250-0468 by Acer is a post from: Eee PC

Apparently, Intel still won’t budge and just won’t give PC makers such as Acer the CPU price subsidy necessary to launch sub-$1000 ultrabooks. And even though people like Acer Taiwan president Scott Lin appear confident about future sales of ultrabooks (compared with tablet PCs), it seems that the whole industry is a bit cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.

Knowing that PC makers are at least going to need something to help further adoption of ultrabooks once they actually become available, Intel plans on increasing its marketing subsidies to notebook vendors to attract them into promoting the new devices, according to a report on DigiTimes. Now, this might mean that Acer, Asus, and other ultrabook vendors will have to come up with some ridiculous promos to get people to buy their stuff, but let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt.

The good news is that sub-$1000 ultrabooks are still indeed on their way. Unfortunately, these might not make it to market until the 2nd quarter of 2012, in April, with the introduction of Intel’s Ivy Bridge platform. So if you aren’t in a hurry to purchase an ultrabook, you’re in for a great big discount provided that you can keep waiting it out for the next six months.

Intel’s Ivy Bridge platform to herald rise of $700 ultrabooks in Q2 2012 is a post from: Eee PC

Acer Taiwan president Scott Lin knows that tablet PCs are currently selling like hotcakes. Yes, as someone who leads a company that sells devices being taken over by these slate-like contraptions on the market, Lin is bound to realize just how much of an impact tablet PCs are having on computers such as notebooks these days. Well, the tablet PC may be enjoying its ride in the waves of success right now, but according to Lin, upcoming Ultrabooks such as the Acer Aspire S3 will be the ones having the last laugh. Lin’s theory is that since ultrabooks can go toe to toe with tablet PCs not just in terms of performance but also in terms of thinness and lightness, consumers will soon realize that it’s ultrabooks that they want to buy instead of another iTablet from some fruity company in California. Lin bets that Windows 8-powered ultrabooks will be the prime driving force of PC makers in taking the market back from tablets. In a few months, we should be able to see if there’s any truth at all in what’s been said above.

Ultrabooks set to finally disillusion consumers from tablet PC mania? is a post from: Eee PC

Acer’s Aspire 5750G, a multimedia all rounder with a 2630QM quad core and Nvidia GT540M promises to be a good enough substitute for the desktop. The Nvidia Optimus is great for office use and and good battery run time makes it one of the favorites in the list. The i7-2630QM quad core CPU from Intel makes its debut at an attractive price. Paired with Nvidia’s GT 540M graphics card, the Aspire 5750G looks set to give a remarkable application and gaming performance. Acer has revised the notebook’s exterior, which is now slightly modified in comparison to its predecessor, the Acer Aspire 5742G. The slight protrusion of the display on the base unit, which separates both components optically, has been maintained. But compared to some high glossy laptops, one has to stay contented with a low smudging susceptibility. Although nothing but only plastic is used as the surface active material, it can impress us when it comes to stability. But the 5750G remains unimpressed by selective pressure on the chassis. If we glance at the 5750G’s interface, it’s clear that the positioning reveals the modifications on the case. The fact that the LAN port has been moved next to the power socket in the left back corner is however agreeable.  Now as far as keyboard is concerned, Acer still uses the same keyboard that was found in the predecessor. The typing feel leaves the user with some mixed feelings, just like its predecessor. On the one hand, the separated chiclet design (capped keys, evident gaps) bids a clearly palpable pressure point and a pleasant key drop. Nevertheless, the feedback proves to be somewhat impartial. The reason for this is that the keys have a tendency to tilt at their edges and, beyond that they haven’t been made absolutely even. Thus, it makes it difficult for the fingers to palpate the key center for an optimal feedback. It could also prove to be difficult to clean the key gaps. The number pad adjacent to the keyboard deserves special mention. It facilitates entering numbers and can also be helpful in various applications and games. Acer has also made use of the familiar looking touch pad. The surface is very smooth in contrast to the surrounding materials and allows the finger to glide pleasantly over it. Alongside it, the vertical scroll field on the right edge has been haptically marked. The multi-touch pad doesn’t have to take reproach in terms of response. It makes use of the LGD0250 display which is different from its predecessor. With a weight of 2.5 kgs which is not so light by any standards but still it offers enough mobility for it to be carried around.

The Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T comes with a 14-inches wide screen which serves as a good compromise between and an ultra portable and desktop replacement laptop. At around 342mm wide, the 4820T feels more portable than larger, 15-inch machines although they are more comfortable to use than 13 inches portable laptops. But it certainly does not deserve the tag of being the lightest laptop around weighing approximately around 2.2kgs. Although it does not score high on the design part, yet the combination of the black brushed-metal effect on the lid and the sober grey that adorns the wrist rest makes for a machine that looks very business-like. The display of the laptop has a glossy coating but it is not as appealing compared to its rivals. Thus if the screen position is correct, then working under harsh over head lights is not much of a problem. The display’s resolution of 1,366×768 pixels is pretty standard for a laptop in this price range and the added benefit is that the viewing angles on horizontal and vertical axes are pretty good. Yet, the screen is left wanting for a little more brightness, as it will make the others colors to shine through more. The keyboard gives the appearance of floating above the laptop’s chassis due to the use of flat keys perched on top of narrow stems. Although this effect has been hugely successful in Acer’s other laptops yet his one flexes slightly, so it doesn’t feel quite as solid and responsive to type on. But the wide track pad is excellent and the long, narrow button beneath is also top-notch. It lacks a few ports though. There is absence of eSATA port or PC Card slot although given the price range in which this laptop caters to, it is not at all surprising. Still it is loaded with three USB ports which can be used for connecting up peripherals like external hard drives. Both 802.11n Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet are supported by the machine but unfortunately Bluetooth is not. A dual-core Intel Core i3-380M processor, clocked at 2.53GHz powers the machine along with 4 GB of RAM which is quite generous for a laptop at the price range. The 500GB hard drive is large by the standards of moderately priced machines and should be sufficient for a normal user unless he wishes to carry large collection of movies around. There’s also a DVD rewriter which comes in pretty handy. Acer scores high when it comes to batteries. The machine managed to keep running for an impressive 2 hours in the intensive Battery Eater Classic Test. Under normal usage, it gives pretty more. On the whole, it’s difficult to find much wrong with the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820T. It’s fairly compact, yet comfortable to use, has a decent amount of grunt for the price, and its battery life is surprisingly good.

For a person who is a fan of an 18-inch laptop screens and quad-core processing, Acer certainly answers to their demands. It is one of the few companies in the market to make media centers. The new Acer Aspire  AS8943G certainly outwits its predecessor in design  and looks. It sports a slim profile along with aluminum casing and though it is a bit costly, yet along with the features, it has a massive 8GB of RAM to go with it. At 8.2 pounds, the AS8943G is certainly lighter than many of its close competitors. As with its predecessor, the AS8943G is equipped with an 18.4-inch widescreen and a standard 1,920-by-1,080 resolution—also referred to as full 1080p. The AS8943G’s screen, along with its borders, is covered in glass, providing an authentic home-theater look. The chiclet keys are placed slightly on the higher side compared to its nearest rivals like the HP dv7-4071nr and MacBook Pro 17-inch. Acer has withdrawn the backlit keyboard function as the cost to illuminate the keys does not catch up to the demand. However, the company has generously made up for this omission by installing a new touchpad, which illuminates as a touch screen with shortcut icons. It can be easily activated by pressing the circular button in between the mouse buttons. Once it’s activated, one will have control of Acer’s media player, playback buttons, and mute function. It reverts back to the touchpad mode when the circular button is pressed again. Although the features of the AS8943G are vast, yet it’s not very impressive. It comes standard with a Blu-ray drive, and supports upto two external hard drives and more than a tetra GB of storage though the internal hard disk consists of 500GB of space. The AS8943G comes with other neat features, including a Firewire port, an ESATA/USB Combo port, and an SPDIF that doubles as a headphone jack. With such a colossal shape, Acer had little trouble fitting in the latest processors. It runs on a 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM processor. t’s a quad-core processor, which is more powerful than the dual-core one found in the MacBook Pro 17-inch and the Toshiba P505-S8010. With a hugh 8GB DDR3, it comes with twice as much memory as its rivals. Despite its bland looks, Acer’s previous media center received an Editors’ Choice because it offered the fastest parts for the lowest price. The Acer Aspire AS8943G-6782 is more expensive, but makes up for it with a new look, faster parts, and better battery life.

Announced just a little over a month ago, the Acer AspireRevo is going to be one of the hottest nettops around for quite a while, what with it being the world’s first one rocking NVIDIA Ion graphics on board and all. This small nettop is going to be Acer’s bet against the likes of the Asus EeeBOX, offering advanced graphics and multimedia features that make it a great home theater PC. I kept this in mind while testing the Acer AspireRevo earlier at an Acer event, trying to see if it really delivered on what Acer is promising on paper. Well, what I’ve gathered is very positive so far, that I think I can safely say even Asus won’t be able to offer any competition.
