Display and Design

The Acer Aspire S3 is designed to be ultra-portable and it does this quite well with its profile, and at just 0.5 inch thick, it is one of the thinnest laptop in the market today. To keep the weight down to a very light 1.5 Kg, the entire laptop is made from plastic except for the aluminum lid which means it still gives it that premium look.

The laptop comes with a standard keyboard even with the limited space availability making it comfortable to type.

Camera, Storage, Multimedia

The laptop comes integrated with a sharp 1.3MP HD webcam which can be used with the pre-installed Skype VoIP for video chatting. The Aspire S3 comes with a 256GB SSD which might not be enough for a power user as a storage, but the SSD gives the laptop phenomenal transfer speeds, a quick boot time and also helps in keeping the weight down. With the Intel HD 3000 on-board the laptop is capable of smooth HD video playback and handling casual gaming quite easily.

Connectivity and Battery

In terms of connectivity the Aspire S3 comes with options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2xUSB (2.0), 1x USB (3.0), Multi card slot and HDMI port. The 3 cell Li-ion battery keeps the laptop going for up to 5 hours.
