Acer might have made budget-oriented workhorses in the past, but its new laptops are much classier affairs. None more so than the Aspire S5, a great-looking Ultrabook built from black brushed aluminium. It’s also the first Ultrabook we’ve seen with a m...

Last year, the first official Ultrabook (the 2011 Samsung Series 9 didn't count) that reached us was the 13-inch Acer Aspire S3 . It showed consumers what to expect from Ultrabooks in general. It was thin, light and generally a good notebook to have. It d...

Three models of the Aspire S5 are available on Acer's website. The one we're reviewing here is the most expensive one (£1,2499). To save £100 you can get a lower-performance processor, the Intel Core i5-3317U. To save an extra £150 you can get the same...

This 13.3" ultrabook is one of the fastest and most responsive of its kind. However, it gets only 4 hours of battery life, there are a few issues with the finishing and the inferior screen brings its overall score down to three stars...

poor screen, subpar battery life, pricey, can get quite noisy, the speakers can barely cover the noise made by the cooling fan, the MagicFlop system is more of a nuisance than an innovation, the keyboard is only average...
With the Aspire S5, Acer has the slimmest 13.3 inch ultrabook on the market and also one of the fastest, but they fail to address some of the other important aspects of a proper ultrabook: the screen, the keyboard and the battery life...

Brands evolve, and Samsung is no exception. In its early years the manufacturer was not known for being a AAA brand, but the Korean company has succeeded in crafting a much-improved image since then. Acer, which has traditionally been known for its very...
Acer has created a very interesting Ultrabook with the Aspire S5, which they have clearly positioned above the existing Aspire S3. The retractable connectors are a fun gimmick, but the presence of a Thunderbolt connector is even more exciting. It's a sh...

The world's thinnest Ultrabook doesn't scrimp on power or usability, and this is a real play to the high end for Acer, a manufacturer that has often focused on mass-production for the low-cost end of the market. It's easy to fall in love with the Acer Asp...

In the past we have reviewed the Acer Timeline Ultra M5, which packs a lot of hardware for a chassis that’s slim, but it’s not slim enough to be a proper Ultrabook. In this field where the MacBook Air reigns supreme, Acer was actually one of the first...
Slim and stylish design, very light weight, and great performance through decent hardware...
Low resolution screen compared to competition, no backlit keyboard and rear ports access could be seen as gimmicky.
The Acer Spire S5 is a pretty decent ultrabook, with a great chassis design and overall snappy performance. While the benefits of the MagicFlip panel are moot, there’s no denying that the 11mm profile of the Aspire S5 is impressively thin. Of course, w...

oh, you sexy beastBy now, you've probably heard of the Acer Aspire S5 and even possibly had a chance to fool around with it (like I did – nothing kinky I might add). One thing that most will conclude is that the Acer Aspire S5 is indeed, without a doubt...
If you're strapped for cash but need an Ultrabook, the S5 might not be your cup of tea. If you're not strapped for cash but need an Ultrabook, theres a small chance that you'd prefer the MacBook Air. Many ultrabooks suffer from a keyboard depth issue, and...

Razor Thin, Lightning FastWell now, we all know that the Acer Aspire S5 is definitely better than the Acer Aspire S3 – techies will frown at the need to mention this, but by how much? I can easily write up a statistical comparison using numbers and charts...
Slight difference in sizeAs I previously stated, the build quality is significantly better and is much lighter than its predecessor – 1.2kg vs 1.35kg. It is slightly larger too, if you look at this comparison here (ignore those 2 games, some of my favouri...

The first thing I notice about the S5 is that has no visible ports. All I can see on the edges are an SD Card slot, a headphone input jack, a power input jack and a sliding power button.Here's where it gets interesting ... or complicated depending on how...
Lightweight, good audio, fast startup time...
While acceptable, it will not stand out next to other current Ultrabook offerings...
If you must have a super lightweight computer that isn't a Macbook Air, the S5 is worth considering. But go for the 256GB version instead...
