Review of Acer Aspire S3-391 13.3-inch Ultrabook (Intel Core i7 3517U 1.9GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 20GB SSD
By Winnie Woodlord
This is a 'first impressions' review of the Acer Aspire S3-391 13.3-inch Ultrabook (Intel Core i7 3517U 1.9GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 20GB SSD, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit)The exact model is the Aspire S3-391-73514G52add - NX.M1FSI.002.I looked at other ultrabooks, such as the Asus Zenbook UX32A, but this seems to ship with only a Core i5 processor and is higher priced. The Acer Aspire S3-391 model I chose is slightly cheaper and has a 3rd generation Ivy Bridge i7 3517U - so simply on GPU performance, it is a better buy for the money.I also considered the Lenovo Ideapad U310, but these have had wifi problems according to several reviews and forums.I thought about going for the bigger Acer Aspire Timeline M3 with a 15.6 inch screen and Nvidia GeForce GT 640M graphics card, but this is nearly a whole kilo heavier. A good but rather heavy ultrabook or lightish laptop if you want to do some gaming, but in the end I decided that having used a 17 inch Samsung R700 for the last four years, which is both heavy and gets pretty hot, what I wanted most was a light and thin, cool-running ultrabook with a fast chip - so the S3 model with the Intel Core i7 3517U GPU seemed like the best choice, although the one with the i5 3317 chip would have been another good choice if you want to spend slightly less money but still get a 3rd generation Ivy Bridge chip.BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING the GPU in your Acer Ultrabook S3 - make sure it has the i5 3317 or the i7 3517 - these are both 3rd generation Intel Ivy Bridge chips. There are still many Acer Aspire S3s around with the second generation Sandy Bridge chips, and sometimes these can be the same price or actually more expensive than the newer S3s with the 3rd generation Ivy Bridge chips, which have the better Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics (the 2nd generation Sandy Bridge chips only have the HD 3000 integrated graphics).Having chosen an S3 with a Core i7 3517 GPU, I then had to decide whether to go for the one with the 128GB SSD or the hybrid 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD. I found this a really hard decision, as some of the reviews went on about the advantages of having an SSD (solid state) drive from the point of view of faster program loading and less battery usage.SSD drives have in the past been more expensive than HDD drives, but the price of SSD drives is coming down fast. I read a couple of reviews that said that a 128GB SSD drive just doesn't have enough storage, as you may only have 90GB of usable storage (and one review said this was as low as only 50GB of storage available, which I can well believe, as the operating system, eRecovery Management and the Backup Manager could easily take up 40 or 50GB.) If you then want to install Microsoft Office, and perhaps an Adobe CS Design or Adobe CS Master Edition package, you could be down to only 30 or 40 GB left to you on a 128GB SSD - before you have even started downloading any photos or videos, MP3s or games!As the S3 with the hybrid 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD still wakes up from sleep in 1.5 to 3 seconds (current programs and files which you've just been using are dumped on the 20GB SSD to allow for this fast wake up) - the difference between the 128GB SSD version and the 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD version is going to be pretty negligible for most purposes.I think for a general use ultrabook laptop, the one with the 500GB hard drive + 20GB SSD is more practical - and SSDs have not been around that long, so who knows how long they will last? Whereas HDDs are proven, reliable technology, and okay, they have moving parts - but so what?Someone I know who has a Masters degree in Advanced Computer Science said he would not rely on just an SSD drive and would choose a model with an HDD drive as well - so that's what I did, in the end. I have also noticed that the price differential between pure SSD models and hybrid HDD + SSD models appears to have reversed. The SSD models were formerly a lot more expensive and the ones with hybrid HDD + small SSD drives were supposed to be a 'budget' choice; but now the 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD Acer S3 ultrabooks are not cheaper but the same price or actually more expensive by a few pounds than the 128GB SSD models, so it looks like the price premium on SSD drives has come down to the point where there is no difference - or perhap the HDD + SSD hybrids are proving more popular because most people want at least 500GB storage and the market is flooded with 128GB SSD drive models. Only the 256GB SSD models are still commanding a premium price. It boils down to personal preference about how much storage you want and whether you care about a few minutes extra battery time and a matter of a second or two claimed advantage in program loading times with SSD drives.I can confirm that the Acer Aspire S3-391 Ultrabook with Intel Core i7 3517U and 500GB HDD + 20GB SSD is a beautiful machine. It is ultra-slim and wonderfully light (at 1.35 kg), very fast, and runs cool, with little fan noise or HDD drive noise. It is so light that if you are using Skype, you can pass it one-handed to someone else rather than all having to cram round the screen of a heavier machine at the same time; it has really excellent performance on Skype, with clear sound and fast video images - the best laptop for Skype I have ever come across.It is also good for playing `Second Life' - which is about the only gaming I do.The chiclet keyboard is precise and accurate with a good click on the keys. The keys are comfortably spaced and easy to get used to even if you're used to a traditional keyboard. I don't find the key travel too shallow, as some people have commented on 'island' style keyboards. I learnt to touch type on a manual typewriter - so I am quite heavy in the way I hammer away on the keys, but the keyboard on the S3 seems well able to stand up to it - and I found the keys registered well on first tap and was soon touch typing quite fast, with few mistakes. The keyboard is not backlit - which doesn't bother me - isn't it just more to go wrong? If you feel you must have a backlit keyboard you might consider the Acer S5 or S7 - but they are around double the price or more compared with the S3.The touchpad is good - a comfortable size, with a solid and well-defined click action in bottom left and right corners and enough space for sliding and stroking actions; it's also not too big so you don't accidentally move the palm of your hand over it and do something you didn't intend to do with the cursor.The second generation Acer Aspire S3-391 Ultrabook looks very smart with a classy-looking silver aluminium lid and matching silver magnesium alloy body. The keyboard has white lettering on rounded black keys which contrasts well (rather than the less contrasting grey keys in the previous iteration of the S3).Another good point is that neither the lid nor the body show up fingerprints, as is the case with glossy black-bodied machines like my Samsung R700 (on which, incidentally, the keyboard lettering rubbed off very quickly, and I have been through two keyboards and 2 sets of stick-on letters before finally in desperation putting on a silicon keyboard protector to stop the letters rubbing off again. For this reason, although Samsungs are reliable, I won't buy another Samsung laptop. Acer also have a good reputation for reliability and I am hoping the lettering on the Acer S3 will last longer, as it has on my Acer Aspire One netbook.)The 13.3-inch display (1366×768 pixels) is sharp and clear and the Dolby Home Theater speakers perform competently and provide a comfortable sound level for listening to BBC iPlayer radio; the stereo channels sound even better through in-ear earphones.The 3 cell Lithium Polymer battery lasts about 3.5 hours between charges under heavy use, eg. if you are using the Internet, accessing websites, have several programs running and a lot of windows open. I guess you'd get more like 5 hours if you were just using it offline, eg. using Microsoft Word. A good point about the battery is that it recharges really quickly - taking only 2.5 hours to reach full charge from full discharge. I guess there's a limit to what you can get out of three cells shaped to fit the ultra-thin case and a heavier battery would make the whole unit a lot heavier. If you want a battery that lasts longer between charges, maybe get the Acer M3.In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this machine. It looks beautiful, has a high specification and offer good value for money compared with other similar ultrabooks.(The other two reviews of the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook which you may come across on Amazon are in fact reviews of the Acer S5 Ultrabook, which is a completely different machine - the S5 is the one with the motorised port flap. I hope this genuine review of the Acer Aspire S3-391 will be of some help to people thinking of buying the it.)--------------------------------------------------------------------(The section below is only for those who are inclined to be a bit OCD with new computer hardware and inclined (like me!) to obsess somewhat about technical issues such as battery conditioning...)According to the Acer User Guide (not easy to find - hidden in an AcerSystem menu when there should be a link to it on the desktop on first start-up) you are supposed to condition the new battery by doing three full charge and discharge cycles on first use. What they mean by 'first use' is open to interpretation, as the Setup Poster tells you to plug it into the mains before switching on for the first time, so you are de facto re-charging the battery before it has been fully discharged. As it is in its delivery state, it will inevitably be only partially charged.When it had reached full charge for the first time I used it for several hours plugged into the mains while I installed programs and got to know the machine. I then unplugged it and ran it on battery to about 45% discharge, after which I plugged it in to charge it overnight, as it recommends elsewhere in the section on the battery in the User Guide. I then read the bit about doing the three full discharge and recharge cycles on first use and thought 'Oh dear, I shouldn't have charged it overnight when it was only partially discharged!'It is possible easily to tie oneself in knots over these sort of ambiguous instructions which are common in computer manuals, and certainly the section on the battery directly contradicts itself several times. For example it advocates the use of AC power whenever possible but points out that using the computer on constant AC power adversely affects the lifespan of the battery! It also cheerfully comments: 'The more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end of its effective life' and 'Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.' What on earth is 'excessive recharging?' If you're not supposed to leave it connected to the mains for long periods, inevitably you will need to recharge it from time to time - when does this become excessive?One may well conclude that there is no way to win with computer batteries. Whatever one does, they will eventually wear out and lose performance. So I would think it's okay to do the three discharge/recharge cycles any time within the first few days - but I am not sure it's really necessary at all.My relative who has an M.Sc. in Advance Computer Science is quite clear that there is really no point in worrying at all abut battery conditioning and usage - just use the darn thing and plug in to the mains whenever you want - because whatever you do won't make much difference and the computer itself is likely to become out of date or clapped out a long time before the battery's deterioration becomes an issue.User Guides are generally written by technical geeks who don't have a particularly good command of written English (it may not even be their first language); and they rarely consider the literal interpretation or any logical ambiguities in what they have written.I think the advice in the Acer User Guide may be out-of-date generic advice as Li-Pol batteries do not have a 'memory' like the old NiCad batteries and according to most advice on lithium batteries do not require conditioning in this way - they can be connected to the mains and re-charged at any stage of discharge.I have queried this by email with Acer Support (no useful response yet from Acer - I don't think the person who replied even understood the question.) I just got a generic reply saying how to re-calibrate the battery, which you certainly don't need to do when it is new. I have emailed twice more about this and have still received no reply.Acer Support appears to be pretty crap in the U.K. - the Acer telephone numbers are 10p per minute to report a fault and an extortionate 50p per minute on a premium 09 number for technical enquiries when the unit is beyond the standard one year warranty. This compares unfavourably with Acer Support freephone numbers in the U.S. and Canada, so Acer should really do better than this for U.K. customers. Fortunately Acer laptops have a good reputation for reliability - so hopefully you won't have to contact their support, but I'd be interested in how this compares with the support offered in the U.K. by other manufacturers such as Dell, Asus, and Lenovo.I will also update my impressions when I've been using the Acer Aspire S3-391 a bit longer.

Not the one I want
By Nada
I purchased the one with hardware of 500GB HDD, but the item I received is 128GB SSD, and the retailer didn't allow me to return the item. The noise of this item is loud, but the other things are OK. It is fast to open up and quite light to carry to everywhere.

Great size and weight, super quick but very little storage
By William Landry
Very quick laptop and great size. The two main reason it was bought to be honest. Was hesitant on the very low storage in the 128gb ssd but thought the added speed of it being an ssd would make up for it. Be warned that your 128gb has under 65gb available after OS and the bloat ware acer have added which is crazy. Still though if u don't mind using an external drive its a great little machine perfect if your on the move with it a lot, great battery life if all your doing is surfing and using word or excel.
