Design
The design and look of the Aspire S7-393-7451 is relatively unchanged since the Aspire S7 was introduced in 2012, with the same aluminum unibody chassis, white Gorilla Glass-covered lid, and thin and light measurements. This slim ultrabook measures just 0.51 by 12.7 by 8.8 inches (HWD) and weighs only 2.87 pounds. It is even slimmer than the 0.6-inch-thick Dell XPS 13 Touch and 0.54-inch-thick Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus $ 1,249.00 at B & H Photo-Video.
Thin profile is especially impressive when you consider the fact that 13.3-inch full HD laptop (1920-by-1080) display is a touch screen, which usually adds thickness. Display has an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel, which provides excellent sharpness, brightness, and color quality from almost any angle. The screen also opens to a maximum of 180 degrees, so you can use the laptop as a flat, shared display for another person or group. The included speakers with Dolby audio enhancements are also very good, with clear sound and enough volume to fill a room, but with a very slight buzz in high volumes.
The chiclet-style keyboard is just as thin, with minimal key travel might expect, but the underlying switches provide a fair amount of resistance, and does not feel flimsy. The plastic keycaps have a silver metallic finish, with backlit lettering. Backlighting is also automatic, adjusting the lighting in the room of his own, although you can tweak the brightness or turn it on and off manually. An issue that we've seen more than once in the Aspire S7 is that the silver finish on the keys, when combined with backlighting, making the lettering almost invisible under certain light conditions.
Features
The slim design of the Aspire S7 does not leave much room for the port, but there are still few. On the right you will find a mini DisplayPort, HDMI output, a USB 3.0 port, and a headset jack. On the left is the Power connector and power button of the laptop, along with a second USB 3.0 port and an SD card slot.
In just a few ports, wireless connectivity is essential, and the laptop is equipped with dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, as well as Intel WiDi for wireless media streaming.
For storage, the Aspire S7 is equipped with a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), which is a typical size of the drive to ultrabooks. It might seem a little too small for anyone working with large media files, but for most users, enough for daily use. Similar drives were found in the previous Acer Aspire S7-392-5410 $ 1,199.99 Amazon and Dell XPS 13 Touch, although the latest Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch opts for a smaller 128GB drive.
Acer also includes a lot of preinstalled software, with some apps on the Start screen, and more utilities to the desktop. Some of these are free trials, such as a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365, and a free 30-day trial subscription to McAfee LiveSafe Security. Some useful programs, such as CyberLink Media Suite, Foxit Phantom PDF, and Nuance Dragon Assistant. Others may be apps and services that you want to clear off, as paid services (Netflix, HuluPlus), shopping apps (Amazon, eBay), or sample games (WildTangent).
On top of all that, Acer includes some proprietary apps, abApps called (short for Acer BYOC Apps, with BYOC being short for Acer's Bring-Your-Own-Cloud with storage solutions). The apps work with both PC and Acer Android or iOS smartphone and tablet, letting you stream your own music collection when you're out and about, or access and edit documents that are Acer store on your PC while you are away. Acer has its own approach to cloud services, but there are unique twist that all storage is limited storage on your Acer PCs. For using this service, Acer includes four abApps: abDocs, abFiles, abMedia, and abPhoto. Acer Aspire S7-393-7451 cover with a-year warranty.
