Acer unveils new ultra-slim Ultrabook

Acer has unveiled its Aspire S5 Ultrabook, an ultra-slim device that measures 15 mm at its widest point and weighs less than 1.35 kg.

The laptop features a 34 cm LCD, has Acer's Green Instant On technology for fast boot and resume, and Acer Always Connect, which is designed to let users manage their multimedia and data on all their devices at anytime, anywhere - even from sleep.

"The Ultrabook is much more than just a product segment," said Jim Wong, president of Acer Inc. "It's a new trend that will become the mainstream for mobile PCs, and customers will see the unique features gradually extended across Acer's notebook family."

The Ultrabook features a curved chassis in Onyx Black, with a cover rim that wraps around the system body like a protective shell.

A magnesium-aluminum alloy cover and palmrest is designed to provide a slimmer and sturdier form, while the metallic brushed detail presents subtle elegance.
