hi guys is level diversity for Berlin 2012 and we're taking a look at aces aspire s7 this is actually a laptop that we first saw at Computex I wanted to come back and take another look at it because this is actually very very impressive in hardware terms and specifications firstly because of this amazing thinness that it has the first time that I took a look at it aether was just a tablet with it's such a bore keyboard but it is in fact a Windows 8 laptop he runs an Intel Core i5 or i7 low voltage processor this particular one in front of us has a 1.9 gigahertz core i7 and it has a touchpad in the keyboard as most laptops so you can unlock your home screen like so however it also happens to have a touchscreen and it works brilliantly well it's capacitive screen 11 inch display 1366 by 768 resolution as really attractive viewing angles as well that's impressive it is framed by this Gorilla Glass frame which goes right up to the edge so everything is covered by grass it isn't too glossy isn't you reflective and the glass itself is surrounded by this aluminum / magnesium mixed body which is very strong and very firm it's extremely impressive and actually makes for a very very beautiful laptop it has this crosshatch pattern on the top it is very rigid and very impressive you've got a few status lights down here a couple of vents for the processor under cooling agent might port there's a couple of years b2 3.0 ports in fact funnily enough there's a power button over here on the side as I say he really reminds me of a tablet he's so thin you know it was like a really high high quality really premium device that were looking at here so physically is very impressive but there is one thing that we noticed over here and one of the issues is that it's actually a bit of a nightmare to open up okay so I'm just going to look at here one of the things that we noticed is that while using the sub screen the usual windows 8 gestures do function so you've got the gesture to charm bar on the right you can switch between applications by coming in from the left to eat and bring up the menus from the tops and sighs I'm sure he already aware of these pressing the Windows key switches you between the Metro interface and the standard ish Windows 7 old-school desktop interface so that's all well and good however these gestures the ones that are attached to the touchpad down here the bottom do not seem to work in this particular model it's running Windows 8 release preview so it is obviously isn't final software but it is a little bit of a disturbing thing because one of the issues that might pop up here Oliva and generally as laptop manufacturers and several of manufacturers put together these keyboards is touchpad compatibility with gestures so for example there if you go to the Metro UI you should be able to swipe with two fingers left him right but you cannot so you kind of have to drag your mouse to the edge and it's really not as intuitive it's nowhere near as smooth or as fluid it's one of Microsoft's big words with Windows 8 fluidity which is brilliant when you're doing it with your finger and when you're using the touchscreen but not so much with such bad so hopefully I so sauce this out in advance of releasing this laptop and say we don't have any release date information we don't have a price all we really know is that it's amazingly thin it works really quickly it has a really attractive display and a really attractive design and we'd like to see more of it actually just a final note to say that the barren life is rated for 6 hours we're taking a look over here it's given us two hours remaining on 28 percent charge a few minutes ago it gave us one hour remaining on 35% charge so it fluctuates but that kind of gives us a good idea so good to have the longest battery life in the world because it is so slim and skinny but still a very impressive laptop for Mesa this is the Acer Aspire 784 27 Berlin
