While I’d have liked to see a larger SSD than 128GB (the same as the UX305CA), if you’re in the market for a great-value ultraportable then the Acer Aspire S 13 is worth considering if its price drops. It isn’t as refined as some of its pricier rivals, but it’s a solid machine with a long-lasting battery and comfy keyboard.

90% Acer S 13 S5-371 review: One of the best mid-range ultraportable laptops you can buy
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Windows is back with a bang this year. Laptops like the Acer S 13 offer a low-cost alternative to Apple machines, with comparable stamina and portability at a little over half the price. Typical of Acer, the look is a little quirky, and we imagine some of you may prefer the all-aluminium style of the Asus ZenBook range. However, the Acer S 13 combines good keyboard quality, excellent battery life, a good screen and Intel’s Core i-series processors, and that quartet is hard to beat. This is one of the best mid-price ultra-portable laptops around.

Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire S13 (S5-371) is priced at Rs. 83,999 and has a 2 year warranty, which is quite aggressive considering the specifications and overall dimensions of the laptop. The S13 also has a good display and a powerful set of speakers which make it good for multimedia playback. If you're looking for this model online then chances are you won't find it, since it's currently only being sold through physical retail stores. With most premium Ultrabooks boasting of aluminium or carbon fibre bodies, the S13 has to make do with plastic, which is the only real downside to it.

In an increasingly crowded Ultrabook market, the little Aspire S 13 manages to stand out among the competition. It's tough to find an affordable notebook with as many features. While the Acer has its flaws, its performance more than makes up for it, and the price for all those features is too good to overlook.

The Acer Aspire S 13 is a great all-rounder at the right price but the best part is that it holds a few key features that really stand out. We can start with the excellent build quality and even though the design is shared with the famous Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition and the Acer Aspire V5 series, it’s like a refreshing new look in the portable devices segment of the market. The result is sturdy, elegant and mobile chassis. Probably the only notable drawback in the design is the shallow keyboard.

80% Acer Aspire S 13: An Excellent Ultrabook
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The Acer Aspire S 13 is an excellent Ultrabook that offers a great level of value for its sub $1,000 price point. Equipped with competitive specs including a sixth generation Intel Core i5 CPU and a lightning fast 256GB SSD the laptop is perfect for productivity. Not to mention it also looks fantastic. The 13-inch non-imprinted cover is well built and offers a unique aesthetic that stands out among the homogeneous collection of MacBook clones on the market.

If you're looking for a great student laptop or a machine for frequent travel, or if you just want a lightweight laptop that can go the distance, the Acer Aspire S 13 is one of the best bargains around. For $749, you get a speedy Core i5 processor, a 256GB SSD, a colorful full-HD display and more than 9 hours of battery life, all wrapped up in a svelte package that doesn't ape Apple.

Acer Aspire S 13 hands-on review
Source: V3.co.uk English Archive.org version
The latest Aspire notebook starts at $699, roughly £485, yet offers Intel's Skylake sixth-gen Core processors. That undercuts even the well-priced Asus ZenBook UX305 by over £100.

Acer Aspire S13 preview: Slim and suitably priced
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Overall the Acer Aspire S13 has some well considered design elements, but fails to feel super-premium when handled. Which is befitting of its price point, really: the S13 is a beacon of potential in the mid-level market rather than the MacBook Air-beater it so wants to be. But take it for that and there's plenty to please from this slender and suitably priced laptop.

For less than a grand the Aspire S 13 looks like a solid fully-featured Windows 10 laptop with a great screen, decent performance and a tasteful design. I have a few misgivings about its cheap feeling keyboard and mouse, but hopefully these annoyances will be rectified as Acer gets closer to the final production model.

Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
Like the just-announced Acer Switch Alpha 12, the Aspire S 13 will ship with Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processors with the U suffix, meaning they’ll be low-power, dual-core chips. Don’t discount them, though, they generally have excellent performance in most modest tasks such as web browsing and document editing. They’ll also be capable of some light photo editing. I'd imagine the models in the UK will get 8GB of RAM, although a paltry 4GB might be a possibility.

I enjoyed every moment I spent with the Aspire S13. It’s lightweight and high-performance made it my go-to option whenever I needed something done quickly (it boots up in seconds). If I bought this laptop for myself, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed. The price of Rs 84,000 is also not that bad. You’ll only get Intel i5 powered devices in this price range and few will offer a 512GB SSD.

The Aspire S13 is one of the better ultraportables you can get these days for a decent amount of money. It offers a good screen, fast hardware and decent battery life, all packed in a thin and fairly well built package. It's not as stylish or as silent as the premium 13-inchers on its class, and it doesn't offer some of the latest features, but considering how much it costs, this notebook is a great buy for the average user.

Acer Aspire S13 S5-371-51UC

The Acer Aspire S13 S5-371-51UC is a quality and decently priced ultrabook with good looks. Design is modern with clean edges and a brush metal finish inside. The all-black device comes with a solid carbon-fibre textured lid and a full-size chiclet keyboard. It has a typical mid-range laptop build quality, but this is not a deal breaker. The touchpad is a large one making navigation a breeze. Display on the Acer Aspire S13 S5-371-51UC is a 13.3 inch Active Matrix TFT Colour LCD with IPS and LED technology. Color accuracy can be better but the Full HD resolution somewhat makes up for it. The 1.40 kg device comes pre-installed with Windows 10 and is a joy to be carried around due to its thin profile. There is an Intel Core-i5-6200U dual-core processor clocked at 2.30 GHz, 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM, an Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU and a 256 GB SSD as storage. The Acer Aspire S13 S5-371-51UC is equipped with a good array of ports; a USB Type-C port, 2 USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI out. Audio quality is decent, but do not expect anything above average. Battery life on the Acer Aspire S13 S5-371-51UC is suggested to be at around 11 hours with its 3-cell battery.

Acer Aspire S13 review: Slim and savvily priced
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The Acer S13 has no major flaws other than a trackpad that may well get on your nerves for the first week or so. It's otherwise a terrific laptops that has everything you need in a portable computer - and all for an affordable price. A good screen, a decent processor, great battery life and a super-slim, light frame are all major benefits - some of which are class-leading for the price. Add the decent connectivity, comfy keyboard and decent speakers, and you have a real mid-range winner.

77% An affordable, fingerprint-resistant MacBook Air alternative
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Acer's Aspire S13 has a touchscreen that resists glare, a thin, light body that resists fingerprints and more solid-state storage than the competition -- plus a fast Intel Core processor, impressive audio and exceptional battery life. This 13-inch Acer is saddled with a stiff, shallow keyboard, and the touchpad's poor palm rejection means the cursor jumps around in documents. Uneven keyboard backlighting and a thick screen bezel detract from the appeal.

Acer’s Aspire S 13 is a decent little ultrabook
Source: Tech Crunch English Archive.org version
The Aspire S 13 isn’t a bad little machine, though it’s not going to set the world on fire, by any stretch. The build quality leaves a little to be desired, but some nice features, like a touchscreen and solid Dolby audio, help round out the picture. And, of course, that $749 starting price goes a long way toward making this a compelling purchase for users looking for a solidly performing Windows 10 thin and light.

Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
I can strongly recommend the Acer Aspire S 13, particularly in the $1399 i5 version, for those who who want a light, thin and practical computer at a reasonable price. And except for those fingerprints, it’s a quite handsome looker as well.

Comment

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i5:

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i3:

6100U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.
