Acer's Haswell update for the particularly thin Aspire S7 comes simultaneously with a change of display technology. In addition, Acer S7 is a one of the best Ultra books available in the market.
Acer updated its top Ultra book, in addition to the CPU upgrade to a Core i7 - 4500U, which improves the battery life of the notebook by 30 percent according to Acer; there is also a new IPS panel. Acer now installed a very high resolution display with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels at a screen diagonal of 13 inches. Acer also promises that the fan design also very now quieter.
Acer improves the IPS display of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels Does not change the rest of the equipment. It remains in fast RAID 0 SSD systems with 256 GB of memory, 8 GB of RAM and the weight of 1.3 kg. There is still a change in the S7. The 11- inch model of the laptop has been discontinued. There will be no more Haswell update for this model. It was characterized by a very thin and light design.
Acer's new Aspire S7 with 13 -inch display will come on the market in November 2013. It is equipped with the same 8.1 and Windows will have a starting price of 1,600 Euros. So it's slightly more expensive than the first versions of the Aspire S7. Let us hope the extra costs of few hundred Euros and includes a better service.
