The Aspire S Series Ultrabook S3-951-6432 13.3" Notebook Computer from Acer finds the perfect balance of performance and portability. It has a 0.68" slim design and a weight of just over 3 pounds for ultimate mobility. While it may be ultraportable, it can still deliver when it comes to processor power. Take powerful dual-core Intel Core i7 performance with you while on the go.
The 13.3" HD CineCrystal display on this Acer Ultrabook has a 1366 x 768 native resolution and a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The screen is also backlit with LED lamps, which brighten faster, use less power and are more energy efficient than their CCFL counterparts. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics can dedicate 128MB of the system memory for graphical use, such as Microsoft DirectX 10.1 support.
This system is powered by a dual-core 1.7GHz Intel Core i7-2637M processor. It also has 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 240GB solid state drive, a 2-in-1 digital media card reader, integrated Acer 3DSonic stereo speakers, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0+HS and a built-in 1.3 megapixel HD webcam with a microphone. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
- Dual-Core Intel Core i7 Performance
- Just because this Acer Ultrabook is small and compact doesn't mean it lacks a punch. It houses a 1.7GHz Intel Core i7-2637M processor for optimal multitasking. With Turbo Boost technology it can be overclocked up to 2.8GHz so you can keep up with your CPU-intensive applications without lagging behind
- Portable Home Theater
- Experience your movies, music and photos in high-definition image quality, brilliant colors and stunning life-like visuals with integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. It also dedicates 128MB of the Acer Ultrabook's system memory for more graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D gaming. A high-definition movie would not be complete with vibrant high quality audio powered by Dolby Home Theater v4. Enjoy powerful beats and smooth melodies over the integrated Acer 3DSonic stereo speakers, headphones or home theater system
- A Display of Excellence
- This Acer Ultrabook has a 13.3" HD CineCrystal display. It has LED backlighting for faster brightening and lower power consumption. If the 1366 x 768 native resolution isn't cutting it for you while at home, its 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and the built-in HDMI port make it easy to connect to a larger external display, such as a HD monitor or a HDTV (HDMI cable sold separately)
- Elegant Mobility
- This Acer Ultrabook elevates portability to the next level. Measuring only 0.69" thin and weighing in at just over 3 pounds, this Acer Ultrabook can be placed in a backpack or tote bag without adding any bulk. Take it to the office or your favorite coffee shop without breaking a sweat. The pure, uncluttered design not only looks good, but enhances your everyday computing experience
- Comfortably Cool
- This Acer Ultrabook features an innovative thermal design that keeps it cool to the touch, even if you're using the notebook for hours at a time. The new airflow design channels air from the keyboard to the rear of the notebook. This keeps the Acer Ultrabook constantly cool and doesn't make you feel like you're typing over a fire
- Instant Startup
- Acer Instant On resumes your computing session in less than 2 seconds and from deep sleep in 6 seconds, thanks to the 240GB solid state drive. Solid state drives save data to non-volatile memory microchips and don't have moving parts like the spinning disks or the movable read/write heads of older hard disk drives. The solid state drive allows you to turn your Acer Ultrabook instantly to access your websites, emails or documents just the way you left them so you can save time and increase productivity
- Constant Connectivity
- Stay connected with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. The integrated 1.3 megapixel HD webcam allows you to video chat with 24 frames per second (fps) while the built-in microphone captures your voice with clear precision. This Acer Ultrabook also has Bluetooth 4.0+HS technology so you can connect all your peripherals with ease. Acer Green Instant Connect reconnects you to the Internet 4 times faster than comparable notebooks normally would. This Acer Ultrabook remembers previous Wi-Fi spots you've used so that when they're in range, it automatically connects you without the hassle of having to reenter WEP passwords
- Going Green
- Low power consumption and better energy efficiency is achieved with Acer Hybrid Standby Technology. It allows this Acer Ultrabook to be in standby power mode for up to 50 days and survive 7 hours of continuous, intense usage. You can work confidently knowing that this Acer Ultrabook can work longer while unplugged, but is also eco-friendly

Comments about Acer Aspire S Series Ultrabook S3-951-6432 13.3" Notebook Computer:
So I bought this lap top in December 2011. I bought it for work (I travel and edit) its light design and power was too good of an offer to pass up.
WELL
out of the now 6 months of owning it It has been in the shop 4 times for the exact same problem.
History of my ownership
purchased: December 8th 2011 (certified Acer store)
SSD drive fail: Jan 17th 2012 (replaced and handed back turn around 3 business days)
SSD drive fail: Feb 17th 2012 (replaced and handed back 3 business day turn around)
SSD drive fail: April 18th 2012 (mailed to service center replaced shipped back received May 1st)
SSD drive fail: May 1st (right out of box from fed ex office in Clients office to right back into box. reloaded UI/ Default... which did not work or me when I tried doing in the office? and returned may 8th)
That is a some what typical story from this Acer line. They keep saying the problem is fixed because it leaves their shop working... I just got most of my software loaded back and I'm now nervous to even start work for fear its going to crash on me and I'm going to be back in the same boat as again.
The SSD drive is garbage and all acer is going to do is replace it and send it back. When it breaks again... they will replace it and send it back.
I own the i7 version of this lap top but it has the same SSD drive as this version.
I would love to see everyone pull together to get a recall put out for this garbage.
Over all don't buy this product/ buy at your own risk. There are better and more stable/ reliable companies on the market.
Also if you are calling acer technical support and want to speak to a human voice immediately (even though it is outsourced and scripted) press the button for sales instead of tech support (normally option 2)
- Primary use:
- Business
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Acer Aspire S Series Ultrabook S3-951-6432 13.3" Notebook Computer:
I am a Linux guy, and I tried to go with Debian, but it failed to work. I do have Fedora 16 running on it, and everything is supported nicely with a small exception of the touchpad's multigesture. I even get about a 7 hour battery life with Linux. It's a little heavier than I expected, but that's not a bad thing. This thing is also nearly Identical to the MacBook Air (cheaper and you aren't stuck with Mac OSX)
