Reviews for the Acer Aspire S7-393-7451

Archive.org versionWe were quite impressed with Acer's Aspire S7-393—its hardware, that is. This lightweight laptop packs some great performance under its super-thin hood, and we were generally pleased with how it performed in most of our benchmarks. General usability and design aesthetics were also top shelf, with a machine that felt and looked as good as it responds to workload.

Archive.org versionThe Aspire S7 is an attractive and powerful laptop, but not one without compromises. If you're willing to invest a little time to remove Acer's bloatware and can live with a keyboard with key travel that's a bit more shallow, then the Aspire S7 rewards you with a very capable computing experience that will also look good on your desk.

Archive.org versionThe Acer Aspire S7-393-7451 is in many ways just as impressive as when it was first announced, with a delightfully slim and light chassis, the distinctive design of its Gorilla-Glass-covered lid, and decent performance. Unfortunately, it also has a limited selection of ports, relatively short battery life, and a lot of bloatware. While the S7-393-7451 is definitely worth considering, our Editors' Choice for high-end ultraportables remains the latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro.

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.
5500U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
