Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
Acer surprised many with its original Aspire S7, which we first saw in late 2012. At a half an inch thick and just under 3 pounds, it was impressively svelte, even compared to other 13-inch Ultrabooks. And its glossy-white lid, aluminum frame, and soft green keyboard backlight set it apart aesthetically, as well. But short battery life and an abundance of fan noise kept it on the cusp of greatness.
With the launch of Intel’s new 4th-Generation Core (Haswell) CPUs, Acer is revisiting the device in the form of the S7-392, bestowing not only a new processor, but also a bigger battery and twice the RAM.
Does an injection of new and improved internals, as well as a slightly tweaked keyboard help this Aspire achieve ultraportable excellence? We check out the finer points of this $1,450 system, and discover a few things that could still do with some improvement.
For the most part, Acer’s updated S7 with battery such as Acer Aspire One 531 Battery , Acer UM09A75 Battery , Acer UM09B7D Battery , Acer Aspire One 532h Battery , Acer UM09H36 Battery , Acer Extensa 7230 Battery , Acer Aspire 5310 Battery , Acer AS07B71 Battery , Acer AS07B52 Battery , Acer TravelMate 7230 Battery , Acer AS10D71 Battery , Acer Aspire 5552 Battery is a triumph of improved design and internals. Battery life is a lot better (although screen brightness is sacrificed), the keyboard’s travel no longer feels as shallow as a reflecting pool, and fan noise is no longer all that noticeable.
But, while a new fan design helps keep the noise down, Acer has mostly played a game of whack-a-mole when it comes to heat and fan noise. The previous model of the S7 was loud but remarkably cool under load. The update swaps fan noise for a big bump in temperatures – particularly when leaning heavily on the machine’s integrated graphics.
So if gaming is important to you, you’ll likely want to look elsewhere. Razer’s updated Blade, for instance, with its dedicated graphics chip, is a much better performer when it comes to gaming, although it does come with a lower-quality and lower-resolution screen.
It’s still not perfect, but with a bigger battery, a better keyboard, and a new Haswell CPU, Acer’s updated S7 manages to be ultra-thin without many major sacrifices.
