The good people of Acer were kind enough to give Darryn and me the Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabooks to use during our recent trip to E3. Everyone who encountered them got that shiny, jealous look in their eyes – these Ultrabooks are fantastic gadgets, but this l...
None of us at Lazygamer wanted to see those Aspire S7s go. The Ultrabook is a stunning display of tech, seamlessly bridging the divide between nifty gadget and workhorse PC. Of course, the only real downside is the price, coming in at about R25k. If you c...

Acer surprised many with its original Aspire S7 , which we first saw in late 2012. At a half an inch thick and just under 3 pounds, it was impressively svelte, even compared to other 13-inch Ultrabooks. And its glossy-white lid, aluminum frame, and soft g...
