Samsung Galaxy A27 5G now official, specs and price in PH Apple raises PH prices for MacBooks, iPads, and more as MacBook Neo jumps to PHP 49,990 Courier Complaints Drop 88% Under Oplan Bantay Padala ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo and Zephyurus G now officially available in PH Infinix HOT 70: Coming in HOT Under P8,000!

我们今天早上收到了这台Acer Aspire S3超极本。它是上周Acer菲律宾在Aspire S3发布会期间举办的抽奖活动的奖品，而Aspire S3是首批在该国发布的超极本之一。

Aspire S3 在设计上借鉴了 MacBook Air 的诸多元素，包括拉丝铝制外壳、圆润边角、纤薄边缘以及标志性的巧克力键盘。

它纤薄、轻盈，而且绝对性感。虽然不如 13 英寸 MacBook Air 那么薄，但也在可接受范围内。与 Air 的泪滴形设计不同，Aspire S3 从顶端到底部都是平直的。

除了右侧的 SD 卡读卡器和左侧的 3.5mm音频接口外，其余所有端口均位于设备背面——包括两个 USB 2.0 端口和一个全尺寸 HDMI 端口，整齐排列在背部末端。

回到新加坡后，我在实龙岗（Sim Lim）看到所有电脑店都陈列了这款设备，并提供三种配置——分别为酷睿 i3、i5 和 i7。

在菲律宾，据我所知，目前仅此一配置可用：

Acer Aspire S3规格：
13.3英寸 LCD显示屏，分辨率1366×768像素
Intel Core i5 2467M 1.6GHz双核处理器
4GB DDR3内存
320GB SATA硬盘 + 20GB固态硬盘
Intel HD Graphics 3000显卡，配备128MB显存
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
1.3MP网络摄像头
二合一读卡器
USB 2.0接口
HDMI接口
Windows Windows 7 Home Premium

这几乎与 Php60k+ 的 MacBook Air 配置相同，只是没有硬盘。从某种意义上说，如果只看规格和外形尺寸，你会觉得 S3 比 MBA 便宜约 25%。

触控板顺滑易用，多点触控功能表现优异，全尺寸键盘手感舒适。目前仅使用了一天，因此尚无法得出确切结论。

截至目前，Windows体验指数显示出非常出色的数据。请给我一周时间完成完整评测。

Aspire S3 的建议零售价为Php44,900。

What are the available processor configurations for the Acer Aspire S3?

The Acer Aspire S3 comes with Core i3, i5, and i7 configurations in Singapore.

What ports are located at the back of the Acer Aspire S3?

Two USB 2.0 ports and a full HDMI port are aligned neatly at the back end.

How does the price of the Acer Aspire S3 compare to the MacBook Air?

The S3 is cheaper than the MacBook Air by about 25% based on specs and form factor.

This is really nice! I’ve got one for myself and am so satisfied with its features.

It seems that as laptops got thinner, the space for creativity in designs got narrower. :P It’s always nice to finally have competition for what used to be a niche product category, but it’s everyone trailing Apple all over again.

Here’s a review of the Zenbook, no performance benchmarks though.

http://easonfandom.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-asus-zenbook-real-ultrabook.html

I got to see the Acer S3 in their roadshow in SM north and the feel is really plastic all over.

Plus if I would buy an Ultrabook I would make sure its a true SSD since acer is just using smart cache technology.

SpiderWak · 15 years ago

Nice! I really hope the UX31’s price is on that range.

Niches · 15 years ago

I thought this one could really amaze me. I am planning to buy one Acer laptop but upon reading all the comments here, I am quite confused now whether to pursue on buying it or not. I am right now here in the Philippines and I don’t want my money to go to waste.

jakerazog · 15 years ago

I just bought one recently and it frequently crashes. Wifi connection is also selective. Very poor product. looking forward to yugatech’s review; i want to know if he had the same experience.

Danny · 15 years ago

In reading reviews the main complaint is the battery life.

how’s the battery life?

Less than 5 hours? or even worse?

jakerazog · 15 years ago

wifi off, at low battery consumption setting – 6 hours

wifi on, at low battery consumption, – 4 to 4 1/2 hours

wife on, at balanced battery consumption – 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

My unit was defective. I am not sure if this is the standard. I am waiting for the replacement.

Danny · 15 years ago

What! Its just out in the market and its already defective? O_o

jumperman · 15 years ago

I just got a hands-on with this laptop and I’m disappointed to tell you that this does not have a unibody metal construction. The only part that’s attractive in this ultrabook is the lid…the rest is just cheap plastic that’s made to look like a metal. Not to mention, someone at laptopmag.com criticized the cheap plastic feel of the Acer Aspire S3.

If you want the best ultrabook in town, just get the Asus Zenbook UX31 because everything else in that ultrabook is made of metal…even the keyboard is made from metal too.

SpiderWak · 15 years ago

Nice.. for some reason this doesn’t attract me like Asus’ and Toshiba’s ultrabooks.

@Abe, will you do a review for Toshiba z830 once it’s available?

ako pinoy · 15 years ago

wow..amazing..i love it..more…i have some collection like this but i need more…please more..

Name: Ariane · 15 years ago

Saw a unit of this earlier today at Octagon and got VERY interested! It’s way cheaper than the MBA and the Samsung Series 9. I’m definitely looking forward to more contenders for my next laptop upgrade. ^_^

jojo · 15 years ago

Asus also has a similar product

jego207 · 15 years ago

Not bad though, the price is reasonable. But please, another iCopied design. I hope manufacturers come up with something orignal that will set them apart from Apple.

tiffany@home theater · 15 years ago

Nice. I love the specs and the fact that it looks like Apple. The price is high though but it’s worth it. I wanna have one. ;)

jcruze057 · 15 years ago

they had a lot of give-aways last week like a digital camera, dvd reader and free wireless mouse. i almost bought one but so sad, i was not able to bring my atm with me

Stu · 15 years ago

Hi Iyan… Maybe this trackpad works like Mac’s. The trackpad itself is the the button (press-able). Just guessing. :)

garz · 15 years ago

I smell a lawsuit from Cupertino.

daddyjoey · 15 years ago

MBA with white keyboards. :D

Ehdanne · 15 years ago

This is a good chance for the Filipinos especially those who are Apple enthusiasts. A model that resembles that of Apple will definitely boosts the confidence of its owners.

Jay · 15 years ago

hi yuga, hope you would be able to review the new lenovo e120. just got mine. good for everyday use. i am curious on your views about it.

Iyan Sommerset · 15 years ago

Nice, except for the fact that I really hate chiclet keyboards. I like my keys as big as possible, with little-to-no space in-between them. How does that trackpad work? I don’t see any buttons.

Soul Annihilator · 15 years ago

For some reason, I’m always attracted to Acer and Asus laptop designs. I hope the price will get lower soon (though the price is pretty reasonable at this point)
