A great laptop to buy at a great price! by spence on amazon.com Jun 14, 2012
Where to begin? I bought this laptop about a month ago and have been using it everyday since then. It always remains cool to the touch (at the hottest lukewarm). This was very important for me, because my last laptop (an HP tx2110) always overheated and ...
 
Very impressive by N/A on newegg.com May 1, 2012
I have also done fairly extensive testing with the machine in Ubuntu and Fedora, they both work fine, but you have to do some tweaking to get fan speed control and brightness settings to work. Also, I have found that the multi-touch works a lot better ...
 
Acer Ultrabook S3-951 is great by LoveCoolThing on bhphotovideo.com Dec 2, 2011
This is a great ultrabook. It is as light and thin as an apple air, but it is Windows 7. It is as small as a netbook, but it is a powerful notebook. Hope it has backlight as apple air.
 
beautiful and fast Dec 12, 2011

A Review from a Linux point of view by Yu-Ten Lee on amazon.com May 31, 2012
Disclaimer: this review is hard to follow, so come back to it AFTER reading the better-articulated ones. When this laptop arrived, the first thing I did was to make a backup (system image and system repair disk of Windows 7 Home Premium) of the system ...

first review deleted by newegg by N/A on newegg.com Jun 27, 2012
This is the first purchase I've ever had with newegg that made me regret buying from newegg. They were completely uncooperative and only dictated policy to me. I wanted to return this laptop within the return period but instead I listened to the customer ...
 
defective computer by more & more on amazon.com May 25, 2012
I purchased Acer Aspire s3-951-6646 in late Dec. 2011. I hired a tech to set it up. It has given repeated problems, freezing up, touch pad too sensitive, email box overloaded. Task Manager locks up. On opening Internet a window from Google comes up ...
 
Small Light weight laptop, with Problems by Ty Polston on bhphotovideo.com Feb 2, 2012
Acer Aspire s3 laptop is a nice light laptop, it runs at a very useable speed. With the Intel I5 processor and the 4 gig of memory I never find myself short of ram and processing power. I am using it primarily as a student laptop so I have not tested ...
 
It doesn't worth it.... Bad technical support. by camargolucas on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
I bought this laptop and after 25 days it started to show some problems in the touchpad and the screen started shaking while I was typing, which is something very annoying. I called the technical and they did not help me so I decided to return this product ...
 
Nice design, but with performance limitations by Daniel on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012
It is a beautiful slim computer, but performance is not the best. I have one since December 11 and I'm not happy with it. The ultrabook usually overheats, specially when using videos. When it overheats, the computer goes slow, or even stop to work, what ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Acer Aspire S3-951-6646 13.3-Inch Ultrabook
I read the reviews on this and was mixed between the good and bad on here, so I decided to visit a Microsoft Store and check it out on my own...Laptop does not show any traces of fingerprints (which annoyed me with other laptops) -Screen is very crisp and clear...The up/down/left/right keys are tiny, but eventually you get used to it -Battery life is not as long as MacBook Air but its still descent for an ultrabook...

Computer is not near as good as the reviews make it out to be...I wanted to return this laptop within the return period but instead I listened to the customer service rep that asked I return it for testing as it might just be a bad unit...Great sleek design, brushed aluminum top cover, kind-of matching inside, HDMI, 2x USB 2.0, Good Price (Got mine from Tiger Direct, I think they have the updated models), Average Resolution, what else can i say...
