Ultrabook Reviews & News

At CES 2012 Acer have just unveiled what they are claiming to be the world’s thinnest Ultrabook. The Acer Aspire S5 ultrabook has a 13.3-inch LCD and is ultra slim at just 15mm at the widest point!

The 13.3-inch ultrabook weighs less than 3 lbs (1.35kg), and looks amazingly thin and stylish from the provided press photos. Acer seem to be excited about their over “Acer Green” Instant On technology which provides a super fast boot and resume times (1.5 seconds). There is also an “Acer Always Connect” feature which enables you to control your multimedia collection and other data on all your devices at “anytime, anywhere”.

Before CES 2012 kicked off there were a number of articles flying around saying that two products are going to be hot at the show this year. One being HDTVs, and the other Ultrabooks.

And if Intel’s CES 2012 press event is anything to go by, these reports are correct. If you ever questioned Ultrabooks before, you can now safely put that doubt aside. Intel has just announced that so far at least 75 Ultrabook are scheduled to launch by the end of the year.

Half of these are said to have 14 or 15-inch displays, rather than the smaller 12-inch models.
