Aspire S7 Series 13.3" HD Ultrabook Touchscreen Intel i7-4500U (S7-392-9890)
(ARS73929890)
Pros: Looks Awesome, Light, Slim, Power Efficience
Cons: Wifi connectivity, Power button location
Other Comments: This is a great ultrabook with a few small problems. It looks very nice, slim design and light weight allow you to take it everywhere. If you do not like tablets (and I prefer the notebook style) this is a great choice. However, it has a few small problems that user should solve before using. The WiFi drivers are very bad, Acer should pay more attention to the drivers. Only after installation of original Intel drivers it start work as it should work in premium notebook. Second biggest problem is extremely bad location of power button. I personally turn it off since it was very easy to press it accidentally.
Yes, I recommend this product

Aspire S7 Series 13.3" HD Ultrabook Touchscreen Intel i7-4500U (S7-392-9890)
(ARS73929890)
Pros: Sharpresponsive Keyboard, Beautiful screen, Extremely Fast Bootups, Quiet, Great Touchpad Caveats, Easy to clean, Great Touchpad W Tweaks, Easy To Clean Seriously, Good battery life, Some Parts Of Win8
Cons: Quietmediocre Speakers, Other Parts Of Win8, Average Wifi Range, Must Adjust Touchpad Opts
Other Comments: Excellent laptop. It seems like all of the flaws of the original S7 were fixed. I believe it's probably the best all-around Haswell ultrabook right now. Granted, its only real competition atm is the Vaio Pro 13 but the S7 has very few flaws, and is at a better price.
The few cons I listed are in regards to:
1. Windows 8 requires some tweaking/personalization. Occasionally the Modern UI is nice, often it's useless. The laptop comes preinstalled with Pokki, which is awesome, but it's an old version of Pokki so you'll have to uninstall and re-install it. Also, the touchpad gestures are annoying and currently can only be disabled through a small registry patch. This is a Windows 8 problem and you can find guides all over the internet - it's a simple fix that doesn't require going into regedit.
2. The touchpad is amazing, but you'll have to tweak the settings to your liking. All of the gestures and scrolling features work well, but things like sensitivity, pressure sensitivity, smartzones (to prevent accidental clicking) and other things have to be played around with. Don't expect it to fit you right out of the box, but I tweaked it to my liking and now I love it.
3. Wifi range is not as good as on my old Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card, but that was a premium $40 card. Speeds are still good, but range is not as far.
