This laptop (or as they call them now Ulrabook) is a techy dream come true, on paper.

I pre-ordered one and i can’t wait to see it at my door step.

Here are some of the specs:

  • 13.3″ HD Widescreen CineCrystal™ LED-backlit Display: (1366 x 768) resolution; 16:9 aspect ratio
  • 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5-2467M Processor 1.6GHz with turbo up to 2.3Ghz.
  • Intel® HD Graphics 3000 with 128MB of dedicated system memory
  • 320GB SATA Hard Drive
  • 20GB SSD Drive
  • 2-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader
  • 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™
  • Bluetooth® 4.0+HS
  • 1.3MP HD Webcam(1280 x 1024)
  • Dolby® Home Theater® v4 audio enhancement
  • Two Built-in Acer 3DSonic stereo speakers
  • 2- USB 2.0 Ports
  • 1- HDMI™ Portwith HDCP Support
  • 3-cell Lithium polymer Battery
  • Up to 6-hours battery life
  • 2.98 lbs. system unit only

 

After reading about it,  I think Acer blow it.  I would not recommend this laptop based on my findings.  Battery life is god awful.

Update: Engadget, did a review on this unit and the battery life is very disappointing at about 4 hours…
