I have had a bad exp... buying ACER S3 ... almost feels like money wasted . The FANS keep running all the time even when no heavy applications used just browsing ... the bottom remains a bit heated ... Acer & Reseller's(ComputerWorld) services are pathetic too .... no satisfying response from them .. only a word that "ITS NORMAL" ... for sure i donot precieve this as normal ... Flipkart niether Acer did anything to prove its normal , so do not know for sure if its a series problem or just a piece problem ... Advice - Dont go for it if you dont have time to hit heads with Support people , resellers etc...
I loved the Laptop when I bought it. FOr approximately 4 months. After that the display has died 3 times in 6 months. Acer tried to sell this under "2 years extended warranty" and I tried my best to claim it for an entire year, but they didn't reply nor took my complaint about it. And today my warranty expired, and coincidentally, the screen stopped working again. Please do NOT waste money on this.
This laptop is for 24,000Rs in US. I got it from there, and works beautifully. Bloody taxes in this country has sky-rocketed the price.
The price was Rs.53250 when I bought it a week back. Its very light (~1.3 Kg) and comfortable to use. Pros: 500GB hard disc (which is important in my case) with such low weight. (other ultrabooks comparable with this give 126GB, with ~1.7Kg in weight), beautiful look and price Cons: Internet connection is possible only through wifi/USB port (which is ok in my case) and no network cable port, Slight heating (but its not uncomfortable). Overall, since it gives so much at so lower price with so little compromises, its worthy to buy this.
First things first..Great delivery by flipkart and retailer Computerworld as promised and good packaging. Now about the laptop, I personally love this laptop. Its slim and sleek and since i mainly do word procressing , multitasking and watch Hd movies, this laptop suits just fine, thanks to the i5 processor. The other good thing is due to the 22gb ssd caching booting takes 5-7 seconds. And the color(Champagne Gold) is great. The only disadvantage as i see in this product is the absence of RJ45 port.
research. compare. buy.
