For the past week, I’ve been using an Acer Aspire S3 that Acer sent me to review. I actually like it–mostly. Mind you, this isn’t a perfect laptop–well, Ultrabook–in any way, but it’s nice. The keys feel good while typing on them, and the boot up is fast thanks to the OS being on the SSD instead of the hard drive. The screen is bright and I haven’t had any issues with glare while using it outside. I also learned it could possibly pass the Brent Test after it accidentally fell out of my backpack. I wasn’t impressed with the battery life, the track pad, or the fact that you need a Louis and Clark expedition to find the arrows on the keyboard.
