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...

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...

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...

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 Acer Aspire S5-391-9880 is aptly named. It aspires to be something special, to combine beautiful design with uncompromising performance, to be a premium ultrabook worth every penny of its $1,399.99 (direct) price. It achieves most of its goals, just n...

In short, this ultrabook is one of if not THE thinnest notebook you’re ever going to want to own, and with a look and feel like this, you’ll have a great time picking one up. The pricing is a bit concerning when compared to other ultrabooks on the mar...
