 Acer has launched the Aspire S3 Ultrabook in India. Starting at Rs 50,000, the slim notebook incorporates the Sandy Bridge Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors in a 13.3" form factor. Storage options include a 240 GB SSD or a choice between a 320 and 500 GB HDD with embedded SSD for those wanting to strike a balance between space and performance.
The S3 similarly features a healthy dose of magnesium\aluminium alloy in the chassis, weighing in at just 1.4 kg. The Ultrabook sports a thin 13.3" HD LED display that incorporates the bezel as the screen frame. The chassis uses a vent-free bottom, while Acer has undertaken further thermal optimisations to ensure that heat-dissipating components are placed away from the touchpad and palm-rest areas.
The notebook features two sleep modes of varying intensities that are claimed to wake up in 1.5 and 6 seconds. These energy-saving modes can make the battery last for up to 50 days. The Aspire S3 is backed by a warranty of one year.
