The black aluminum alloy chassis of the pre-production Aspire M3 at IFA certainly made a pleasant change from the ubiquitous bright gray/silver of other notebooks on display
The 22-mm slim, 2.3 kg Windows 8-ready Ultrabook includes Acer's Green Instant-On to reactivate the ultrabook from sleep in just 1.5 seconds, and Instant Connect will get you back online in 2.5 seconds
The inclusion of a keypad has cramped the keyboard a little but not painfully so
The supersizing of the touchpad is very welcome indeed

The S7 has a very comfortable chiclet keyboard sporting silver/gray keys
The Aspire S7 Ultrabooks are available with 11.6- or 13.3-inch Full HD displays
The aluminum unibody chassis is home to the latest Core i5 or i7 processor options with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, 4 GB DDR3 RAM and up to 256 GB SSD storage
The S7 at the Acer booth was just 11.9-mm thin
With the release of Windows 8 imminent, Acer has added some new touchscreen Ultrabooks to its Aspire range
Article Summary
Unless you've spent the summer snoozing at the back of the bear cave, you'll already know that Windows 8 is on the cusp of release. Hardware manufacturers made the most of the opportunity presented by the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (or IFA to you and me) to show us the first batch of products that we'll be using to get our touch on with the next flavor of Microsoft's operating system. We've already rubbed shoulders with Acer's new V5 series notebooks, now it's time to reach out and grab a few moments with the company's M3 Touch and S7 Ultrabooks.
