Acer has unveiled its latest ultrabook the Aspire S5. The Acer Aspire in one the thinnest ultrabooks till date by Acer. It supports a 13.3 inch screen, weighs 1.35 kg and is just 15mm thick.
"That S5 is quite significant," analyst Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies said after the Acer press event. "It looks like the thinnest and lightest, and it sets the bar for the rest of the ultrabook vendors," he continued.
"We are committed to evolving this technology," said Acer chief executive J.T. Wang. "By the second quarter of this year we will have four models of ultrabook and more to
come."
"The real battle is not with Apple, it is with all the other vendors coming out with Windows ultrabooks," Bajarin said. "Apple will still do great with MacBook Air, but in the Windows world it is great news that five years after Apple set the tone the industry is finally getting something equal," he continued.
"We believe Microsoft will take care of Windows devices; Google will take care of Android devices, and Acer will take care of in between," Wang said. "We will make Windows work very well with Android and other platforms too."
Acer has announced that it will launch free services that will allow users to store video, photos, music, and documents easily in the Internet "cloud" and even access files from Windows 8 or Android powered gadgets.
