Given the reasonably sized gap in the pricing between the two available Aspire S7-392 models let’s discuss the differences between the two Ultrabooks first. For starters powering these new thin and light laptops are some of Intel’s latest dual-core low-voltage Haswell processors that are optimized to offer users some of the best battery life. The top-end 9890 model has a 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7-4500U (4M Cache, up to 3.00 GHz Turbo Boost) and the cheaper 6832 has a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5-4200U (3M Cache, up to 2.8 GHz Turbo Boost). Although the two models have different central processors the integrated graphics chips that works along both of those CPU’s is the new Intel HD Graphics 4400 iGPU, the only difference is the Core i7′s iGPU has a maximum operating frequency that 1.1 GHz and the Core i5′s iGPU maxes out at 1 GHz. Moving along to the final difference between these new touch Ultrabooks, the 9890 comes with a 256GB solid state drive and the 6832 has a 128GB SSD built-in.Differences
Similarities
The differences aside let’s delve into the many similarities between these new Acer premium laptops. Design wise the two notebooks offer Crystal White colored body that has a glossy looking lid that uses Corning’s tough Gorilla Glass 2 for protection from scratches. As for the displays these new laptops come with 13.3-inch Full HD 1920-by-1080 pixels 10-finger multi-touch capacitive IPS screens that are LED back-lit. Hitting back on the last difference listed, the solid state drives for each machine are setup in the performance oriented RAID 0 format that offers very fast data read and write speeds. For random access memory (RAM) Acer has gone ahead and included 8GB of DDR3 RAM for each model.
Now for the inputs and outputs the two new Acer Aspire S7-392 models have only a few built-in ports HDMI, two USB 3.0 (1 with power-off charging), SD card reader and the new Acer Converter Port. The Acer Converter Port was basically a new design idea that Acer has come up with to help them create thinner machines by stripping out multiple ports that take up much more space than one port can. For the laptops in question the Acer Converter Port will use an included dongle to provide VGA, Ethernet and USB 2.0 ports to users when they need them.
Moving on, in the audio and video department you get two stereo speakers with Dolby’s new Advanced Audio v4 software, a microphone and a 720p HD webcam. The wireless connectivity included with these new thin and light laptops is your now-standard 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.0. Both models also come with a Acer ZoomPerfect touchpad, which offer built-in gestures compatible with Windows 8 for things link pinch-to-zoom and more. Of course both of these touch-enabled Ultrabooks come with Windows 8 64-bit edition.
As for the battery life Acer has been cautious and decided to list the maximum battery life for each model at 7 hours, even though with some optimization you can achieve well above that. Already users are reporting 8-9 hours for online browsing and e-mailing after getting rid of some pre-installed software and dropping the display brightness to 70 percent. So, with optimization you can definitely compute all day with the new Acer Aspire S7-392 Ultrabooks. The 7 hours Acer estimates is attainable and you can use the laptop at full 100% brightness all you need to do is charge the notebook to at least 99% full. Acer lists the same spec. battery for the two different models mentioned above, the battery is a 4-cell lithium polymer battery that can hold a charge of 6280mAh.
