It's only been two
months since Acer revealed the Aspire S7 Ultrabook at Computex 2012, and the
Taiwanese manufacturer has already revealed pricing and release info for the
new device.
The Aspire S7's release date has been
confirmed as the end of September, and the ultrabook will drop for $1,465
(£1,149.99).
That means the initial runs will be equipped
with Windows 7, as Windows 8 will release on October 26, three to four
weeks after the Aspire S7 launch.
The thin S7 should get a Windows 8 reboot
after the OS hits the public market.
Specifications:
Acer's Aspire S7
Ultrabook by default sports an Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor, 128GB of SSD
storage, 4GB RAM, and HDMI, USB and memory card reader ports.
A 12-hour battery cycle and backlit keyboard
also serve to sweeten the deal.
The Aspire A7 comes in 11.6- and 13.3-inch
flavors, but the thin machine can be beefed up significantly with a number of
upgrades, including more RAM and SSD space and the option for a Core i7 chip.
In addition, it turns out the Aspire S7's
much-hyped touchscreen is another optional add-on, though there's no word yet
on how much extra it's going to cost.
TechRadar has reached out to Acer to confirm
details on the optional touchscreen.
Acer is going to some
lengths to ensure that the Aspire S7 stands out.
Its attractive "white glass" coating
helps differentiate it from the current reigning king of ultra-thins,
Apple's Mac Book Air.
TechRadar predicted that Acer would reveal the pricing and release date for the
Acer Aspire S7 at Berlin's IFA 2012 consumer electronics mega-show at the end
of August.
But the company may have dropped the news now
to ensure it wouldn't be lost in the inevitable rush of news from the
convention.
I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY THE READ.
