acer Aspire S3 ultrabook review...

Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook             Steve Jobs was right: Netbooks aren't better at anything, they are just cheap laptops. With the introduction of the MacBook Air back in 2008, ultraportable laptops with great battery life and decent power under the hood seemed like a reality. It was only in 2010 that the Air achieved this status.

Now, Intel plans to take on the MacBook Air with the invention of a new ultraportable notebook category conveniently called the Ultrabook. The criteria for any manufacturer who wants to produce Ultrabooks are simple. The device needs to be thin, under 0.8-inches; lightweight, under 1.4kgs; and should have a battery life of minimum 5 hours. The price of these Ultrabooks needs be maintained around the $1000 mark, which is roughly Rs. 50,000. Remember, the bottom of the line MacBook Air 11-inch costs Rs. 56,900 and the top of the line 13-inch costs Rs. 89,900
  

Price: Rs. 49,990



 The first impressions of the device are truly mixed. The device is very slim and light. It is just 1.3 centimeters (around 0.5-inches) in height and weighs about 1.4kgs. It has a greyish lid with a brushed aluminum finish, which makes it look very elegant. Open up the lid however and the result is a bit disappointing. You are greeted with a 13.3-inch WXGA display with a grey plastic border. The resolution of the display is 1366x768. This feels like a bit of a letdown considering the MacBook Air has pushed the display resolution to 1400 x 900.

more slim.......

Build and Design
The HP Pavilion g6 ($499) has a generic-looking exterior of black and gray. Nearly all visible surfaces of the notebook are made of glossy plastic, which is unfortunate since it smudges up easily and is not as durable as matte plastic over time. Strangely enough the screen bezel is matte plastic.
The g6 is rather sturdy for a budget notebook. The chassis is stiff and takes effort to twist. Additionally, the palm rest and surrounding areas don't flex or bend when pushed down upon. The display panel (and more specifically the screen lid) is the only part that needs improvement; it is flimsy and twists easily; ripples also show up on the screen when pushed in on from behind. I was impressed however by the display hinges, which are metal and very securely anchored to the chassis. The display hardly wobbles at all.
In the end the build quality is slightly better than expected for this price range. Those seeking to add additional RAM or replace the hard drive will be able to do so with ease; a single panel on the bottom of the notebook holds both components and the wireless card.
