Acer Aspire S7

The Aspire S7 is one of the best ultrabooks we have tested so far, and with its touchscreen display, it is built specifically to be used with Windows 8. The build quality is also brilliant, the looks are premium, and it houses a powerful processor inside. The RAID 0 SSD setup is the fastest we have seen in an ultrabook and transfer speeds are ridiculous. Acer Asire S7 also bundles in a wireless mouse and an extra battery pack which add a lot of value to the whole package. There are very few things we did not like about the S7 except for one thing - Pricing. Agreed, Acer is addressing the premium segment with this beautiful ultrabook. But a price-point of close to a lakh for an 11.6-inch ultrabook is a bit much.

The Aspire S7 packs in an Intel Core-i7 3517U processor which runs at 1.9 GHz. This is the same processor that was seen in the Samsung Series 9 (NP-900X3C), Lenovo IdeaPad U410 and ASUS S56CA among others.
