How about Acer S3 Hummingbird, a typical representative of ultrabooks?

Now in the laptop market, in addition to ordinary laptops, there is also the term "ultrabook". It refers to a computer with superior performance and powerful configurations than ordinary laptops, which can have more and better applications in life. . Acer is a well-known computer brand, and the ultrabooks it develops are also loved by consumers. The most representative product of Acer's ultrabooks is the Hummingbird series, of which the Acer s3 Hummingbird is the soul representative. So what about Acer s3 Hummingbird? The editor will introduce it to you in detail.

Acer S3 Hummingbird Review

Body design

The surface of Acer Aspire Hummingbird S3 is bright silver, and the top cover is made of aluminum alloy. , and the palm rest is made of magnesium aluminum alloy. The corners of this Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird are streamlined, and the overall appearance is smoother. This appearance is very different from previous products. It can be seen that this product is also Acer's new attempt in design style.

UltraBook products all use a 13-inch body, and this size will become the mainstream screen size for thin and light products in the future. The Acer Aspire Hummingbird S3 also uses a 13-inch screen with a standard resolution of 1366 x 768. It is understood that the screen of this machine uses special processing. It embeds the 13.3-inch display module between the upper cover and the frame, which can reduce the thickness of the screen by 33%.

The thinnest part of this machine is only 13mm, and this part is located at the front edge of the fuselage. The most important feature of UltraBook is its thinness and lightness, so manufacturers will make every effort to make their products thinner when designing notebooks. Therefore, this notebook has no LAN interface, no VGA interface, and only two cleverly designed USB interfaces. usb transfer implementation. Comes with Dolby Home Theater technology for your everyday needs. At the same time, the air outlet is also designed here, and there is only a card reader and a two-in-one audio interface on both sides of the fuselage.

Body weight

From the test, we saw that the thickest part of this machine is 16.48mm, which is usually traditional The thickness of the notebook body will be more than 25mm, so the UltraBook notebook is indeed much thinner and lighter. In addition, the weight of this machine alone is 1.35kg, and the weight with the adapter is 1.66kg. Obviously, this machine is more portable.

The thinness and lightness of S3 has surpassed that of MacBook Air. The thinnest part is only 13.1mm, the thickest is only 17.5mm (MacBook Air is 17.8mm), and the weight is only 1.35KG. A 13-inch product can To achieve such a featherweight and lightness, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "thin and sharp as a blade"

 CPU attributes

UltraBook notebooks basically use Intel's new ultra-low voltage processing. Compared with standard voltage processors, the biggest feature of these three processors is that the TDP is only 17W, which is only half of the standard voltage products. However, their turbo frequency range is very large, and they can reach more than 2.3GHz after the turbo frequency. This also effectively ensures the performance of the processor.

Keyboard design

The Acer Aspire S3 adopts a chocolate keyboard design. In order to avoid the problem of short key travel on the ultra-thin keyboard, this The keyboard area of ​​this machine is concave.

Body heat dissipation

In terms of heat dissipation performance testing, we used FurMark software to run this machine under high load. After about an hour, the processor temperature rose to 68°C, and the core temperature also reached 66°C. Judging from the sensor temperature alone, the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the Acer Aspire S3 is relatively good.

Battery life

In energy-saving power mode, when the network cable and network card are turned on and the screen brightness is 50% at the same time, the remaining 98% can provide power for 5 hours and 6 minutes. The battery life is good. . UltraBook itself is a portable product, so the battery life isCapability is still very important. The Acer Aspire S3 can have more than 5 hours of battery life, which is quite satisfactory.

The concept of UltraBook has attracted great attention from the industry as soon as it was proposed. Ultra-thinness, long battery life, and mainstream performance are all the characteristics of S3. As the first Ultrabook to be launched in the industry, S3 can be said to live up to expectations. Whether it is the technologically rich appearance design or the various internal functions, we can clearly feel the great progress of thin and light products. There is reason to believe that with the related With a large number of products on the market, UltraBook has a bright future. And what is unexpected is that the finished product has been launched so quickly. In addition to its ultra-thin body and high performance, UltraBook has other highlights. For example, the SSD version of the Acer Aspire Hummingbird S3 only takes 1.5 seconds to wake up from sleep state, and only 6 seconds to wake up from deep sleep state. Ultra-fast response speed is also the main feature of UltraBook.

How about the Acer s3 Hummingbird? After the introduction of the article, you will also have a better understanding of the Acer s3 Hummingbird. The Acer Hummingbird ultrabook series has a total of three There are s3, s5, and s7 products. S3 is the lowest-end product among them. S5 and s7 are better than it, and of course the price will be higher. If you have higher pursuit of ultrabooks, you can also choose Acer. Hummingbird's s5 or s7, I believe they will bring more powerful performance than the Acer s3, and they can also play a more active role.
