I was really hoping we'd get another laptop in before writing this review, but it just didn't work out. We've got a bunch of new systems and monitors coming in, but no laptops. We expect to start seeing more laptops this summer in preparation for students...
This is going to be a fairly short final thoughts as most of my thoughts regarding this system were covered in the previous review. The two factors we're going to consider today are performance and display resolution and how they fit into your needs...

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...

There's only one truly stupid thing about the S7, and that's its power button. It's on the back-left side, and it is astonishingly easy to press. In fact, it's in the exact location your index finger probably goes when you lift an open laptop. It's very a...
