Latest from Acer is that they will be releasing an Acer Aspire S5 Ultrabook. Retail price would be $1,399.99.Read on for consumer reviews:
Review 1:
This is really expensive for a laptop. Especially with a 1366 x 768 resolution. The emphasis is so much on Thunderbolt and the "Magic Flip" that basic information like the quantity of RAM, details of I/O ports was not supplied.
In my opinion, its slimness is fake. When you need the I/O ports, you still must open that trap door, which them make the laptop thicker. Its like a fat person, sucking in the stomach and claiming having slim abs.
Review 2:
Why on planet earth would anyone spend over $1000 and NOT buy a MBA?
This is like the house walmart brand of computers. And that trap door is ugly and adds bulk to the thickness... These apple-copycats just dont get it.
What makes them think they can enjoy margins comparable to Apple when they offer NOTHING that Apple does? Apple just does it better. This whole "ultrabook" campaign is just a sham... Its a shell to pretend its a different kind of computer but it basically says "hey Apple did it and its succesful and since we cannot find success we will just copy Apple"...
Review 3:
The ultrabooks aren't a sham. Some people don't like Apple and still want a think light weight laptop that runs Windows. What's wrong with that. I just bought the MBA because Apple stopped developing XCode on Snow Leopard. Everyone I've showed it to wants to buy a PC based version of the same thing. Of course most of them are $200 cheaper than the Apple.
