Love my new computer! Decided to upgrade my 3yr old laptop and was surprised by how much technology has changed over the years. This computer is hands down one of the best in the market. I been looking for a laptop for business, as I travel quite often,and nothing comes close to what the S3 offers-- It is so easy to carry, connects fast to internet and I can do multiple things with an ease.

My kids has been using ipads for over a year now, and now they want to use my new laptop!! I may end up buying another one for Xmas!!

You get what you pay for. Awesome buy. happy overall.

Finally after months of waiting for Windows Ultrabook laptop, my Acer's S3 arrived. What surprised me the most was the EASY setup.. it took less than 3minutes to setup the system and I was doing what I needed to do! Acer makes it very simple to cut the B.S. and let user get to do what they want to do.

I am blown away from Instant On-- It feels like you are using your mobile phone or TV. It just works.... simple as that.

Performance is just AWESOME! and.. don't forget it has 320GB HD!! Vs. SDD! Storage capacity is awesome and I love my new S3!

$400 below Macbook air- I was thinking about replacing my 1.5 year old model- and happy made this decision.

Acer did again!

Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars Acer has done it again - a Breakthrough!

I've waited months for this machine to hit the market. It's an exciting new product.
At .4" thin it reminds me of my iPad, but much more powerful. It's as fast as my office desktop, that I paid 3 times more for this last Summer.
It's just beautiful... like my MacBook Pro but ½ the weight, ½ the price, and twice the performance.
What else can I say? You won't go wrong with it.
