• Optimized for touch

  The touch enabled screen found on the S7-391 model can be laid back flat 180-degree, and the image orientation reversed for sharing and collaborating with others. One of the cutting-edge manufacturing processes used in the production of the S7 was the development of a dual torque hinge on the lid, which was necessary to create the perfect amount of resistance for touch control. Not typically used in the PC industry, Acer used an automotive manufacturing process used to forge car wheels to make them durable. Using this technique allowed Acer to directly attach the hinge structure to the forged display frame, so the display frame is actually part of the hinge. It also affixes both the panel and glass as well. This is what enables the display to stay upright and stable even when touched.

• Keeping it cool with an innovative thermal design

  To ensure the S7 stays running cool, Acer created a thermal solution called "TwinAir" cooling, an innovative thermal design that extends battery life and keeps the Ultrabook cool and comfortable to use. Two small high-speed thermal fans are used; one to pull in cool air, while another releases hot air. The placement of the fans also ensures the warmest components are kept away from users' fingertips.

• The keyboard, reinvented

  The unique design of the S7 and its touch screen capabilities inspired Acer engineers to re-think the traditional keyboard. Acer incorporated an electroluminescent (El) backlit keyboard which automatically turns on and off and adjusts its brightness level based on the ambient lighting. This light sensing backlit keyboard is one of the thinnest backlit solutions currently available, and is optimized for visual comfort and easy visibility in dim environments. The electroluminescent lighting offers a gentler and more comfortable light than LED backlit keyboards.

• Instantly on and always connected

  The Aspire S7 Ultrabooks include Acer Green Instant On technology for fast boot and resume, which lets users manage their multimedia and data on all their devices at anytime, anywhere, even from sleep. Innovative Acer Green Instant On technologies enable data upload and retrieval anytime, anywhere, and deliver power-saving features as well. Acer Green Instant On provides instant-resume functionality and ensures battery life that lasts several weeks.
