Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook: Multimedia powerhouse

MANILA, Philippines - Never could something so sleek and thin create a multimedia experience so rich and powerful — until, that is, the recent arrival of the Acer Aspire S3.

Introduced as the tech pioneer’s first-ever Ultrabook, the Acer Aspire S3 is a razor-thin laptop that delivers lightning-fast performance.

It is designed as a one-of-a-kind multimedia powerhouse, and includes the leading-edge Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor, a high-speed 20 GB solid-state drive (SSD), the reliable Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (included in both the Core i5 and i7 variants), an easy-to-use HDMI port, Bluetooth 4.0+HSR connectivity, and the revolutionary Dolby Home Theater v4 suite.

Only 17.5-mm thin and weighing less than three pounds, the Acer Aspire S3 features an incredibly slender design, with an aerodynamics-inspired aluminum/magnesium alloy chassis and finger-print free metallic silver finish.

It also has a beautiful seamless profile designed to enhance thermal comfort as well as place all heat-generating components away from the Ultrabook’s palm rest, multi-gesture touchpad, and chiclet keyboard.

Within this sleek, smooth surface is a set of specs poised to revolutionize the way users consume and manage multimedia. With the energy-efficient Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor and integrated Intel HD Graphics, the Acer Aspire S3 has the capability to perform so much faster than its thicker, more expensive counterparts. The Core i3 and i7 variants also include a high-capacity 500 GB hard drive.

Like its design inspiration — the light and agile hummingbird — the Acer Aspire S3 flies, even in graphics-intensive applications and tasks like creating HD video projects, playing 3D games, rendering multi-layered image files, or watching high-def 1080p movies.

The Acer Aspire S3, moreover, is bolstered by a breakthrough 20 GB solid-state drive (SSD), which works in perfect harmony with the Acer Green Instant On and Acer Instant Connect technologies.

This means that the laptop can resume from sleep in less than two seconds; restore data and remain on standby for up to 50 days without restarting, shutting down or charging; and remember users’ favorite access points in order to connect to the Internet up to four times faster than traditional notebook computers.

These state-of-the-art computing innovations come to vivid life on the Acer Aspire S3’s stunning 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen. With its sharp, rich visuals, 16:9 aspect ratio, and high-definition 1366 by 788 resolution, the Acer Aspire S3’s screen is engineered to provide enhanced multimedia enjoyment.

The integration of the Dolby Home Theater v4 suite, meanwhile, delivers crisp, clear audio and a captivating surround sound experience for movies, music, and games.

The Acer Aspire S3 is also equipped with a complete range of connectivity options, enabling users to leverage the power of multimedia wherever they go.

Two USB ports, Bluetooth 4.0+HSR technology, the DLNA-enabled Acer clear.fi home entertainment solution, and optional HDD make data transfer and management a breeze.

A built-in 1.3-megapixel Acer Crystal Eye webcam, meanwhile, lets users chat face-to-face with anyone in any part of the world. There is also a full-sized, single-cable HDMI port (with HDCP support) for connecting the Ultrabook to bigger audiences and wider screens: an external monitor, say, or an HDTV or digital projector.

There are an infinite number of multimedia possibilities with the Acer Aspire S3. It’s a top-of-the-line performer without a top-of-the-line price tag — at P39,900, the Intel Core i3 variant of the Acer Aspire S3, in fact, is currently the most affordable Ultrabook in the market — and its bold arrival redefines the way future laptops should look, work, and feel.
