Acer promises up to 6 hours of battery life on the S3. It also comes with a 320GB HDD for storage and another 20GB of SSD for buffer/caching.

Suggested retail price is Php44,900 for the specs above (other variants will offer up to 500GB HDD). Not bad considering an entry level Macbook Air is Php49,990.
