And the Ultrabooks have arrived! Acer Aspire S3 will go on sale in the US and Canada this week for $899 -- making it the first pinch-thin, MacBook Air competitor to hit the market, landing ahead of competing models from Toshiba, Lenovo and ASUS. To recap, this 2.98-pound aluminum beaut has a 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) panel, is rated for six hours (or 50 standby days!) of battery life and promises to wake from sleep in a mere two seconds. For the money, you'll get an ultra low voltage Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 20GB of solid-state storage combined with a 320GB HDD. This $899 version will be followed by models with Core i3 and i7 processors and beefier storage capacity. Intrigued?

Not to sure about these just yet!
six hours? that's worse than my current acer computer which is supposed to be able to do 8? o_O
although, that could be because i have an i3 and not an i5
come check out my new layout/colors man! http://mightyideas.blogspot.com/
Interesting, but I've always been a desktop kind of person (with the occasional touchpad)
i want this laptop
I think I'd be losing it all the time, if it turned sideways.
pretty neat for it's price.
great blog!
This looks excellent! I even like the price.
Not really, I haven't heard many good things about Acers in the past.
I would prefer a thicker, heavier, laptop with more power and function.
