Acer ’s first Ultrabook , the Aspire S5 , also find to be one of the first of what will certainly be a tidal waving of Ultrabooks announced at CES this year . It ’s just 15 mm thick at its largest point , and weighs in at less than 3 Pound . But it ’s probably only going to hold that “ domain ’s thinnest ” title for a few hours until the Ultrabook floodgates open . Tick tock .
One of the agency it manages to stay so thin is with what Acer is calling a “ Magical I / O port board ” which drop down just below the flexible joint , exposing an HDMI , USB 3.0 and 20Gbps Thunderbolt - which will probably be a repeat theme this year .
An Intel Core processor ( likey an Ivy Bridge given the Thunderbolt port ) and an SSD ply power delivery welfare , while the Acer Green Instant ON feature promises almost clamant sketch from sleep . And by instant , they of course do n’t mean crying , but a respectable 1.5 second gear .
It ’s also got Acer ’s Always Connect functionality , which marry into their newfangled AcerCloud serve . It takes a three prong approach to synchronise media and files across machine , including features called clear.fi Photo , clear . Fi Media , and AcerCloud Docs . The company says that Microsoft will provide this for window and Google will do the same for Android ( and Apple obviously already does as well ) , but that Acer will “ take care of the in - between . ” Whoever that is .
The Aspire S5 will be available sometime in the 2d tail of this yr , with pricing to be announced . And Acer also confirmed - not astonishingly - that they ’ll be following up with Windows 8 ultrabooks in the second half of the year . [ Acer ]
