Ultimately, there’s plenty of room for improvement with the Acer Aspire S3, but there’s no question that this budget Ultrabook still holds plenty of appeal. While far from the last word in refinement, Acer has built a solid, attractive Ultrabook for much less than any of its competitors – and that, we suspect, will be reason enough for many to settle for second best.

When Ultrabooks were first announced it seemed doubtful that manufacturers could turn out these wannabe MacBook Airs at the sub-$1,000 price Intel was promising. Acer put those doubts to rest with the Aspire S3, which debuted at $900. Given its relative affordability, it’s not surprising that the Aspire S3 makes a few compromises in its Air aspirations
