    It's the LED backlighting cycling on and off slow enough for the camera to catch it. It happens with a few laptop displays, but the S7's is the most noticeable I've seen in years of doing this.

    I love it when you show the backlight on the keyboard. It's a great little touch.

    The reviews on this laptop on Amazon are amazing. They are 5/5 and very in-depth by some savvy people. The same model (except with 128gb SSD) is available in Canada for only $1243.

    I reeived this computer wiyh 8Gb ram, 256Gb ssd, and an i7 4500u 1.8 Ghz processor. There's been an excellent sale on this item on Amazon and I couldn't resist. I've been very happy with performance and battery life. The battery life for me has been better that advertised.

    I kept this i5 13 inch laptop going for 10 years, loved it so much last year bought the i7 version for £250 used. (unfortunately this failed due to motherboard which im guessing is why it was for sale in the first place). The screen on this was so well made, i wish my current samsung galaxy book pro 360 had the same gorilla glass on front. Great laptop ! Even if you bought it now its still decent!

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The screen flickered at max brightness too, in fact much of the video was shot at max brightness. With autobrightness turned off and Intel adaptive power management for displays disabled. It just wanted to flicker no matter what.

    I have the first gen version. It is by far the best laptop I have ever owned. The screen being able to fold to 180 degrees makes it really easy and comfortable to use the S7 on your lap because it can move to nearly any position. I would have been nice if they could have found a way to make it go all the way back. My only complaints besides battery life is the power button location, the fan is a bit loud, and the plastic piece between the hinge is a bit sweaky and loose on mine.

    Although I use the newest MacBook Air and absolutely love the device and find it hard to fault really. I have to say this device is extremely beautiful to look at, it is one of the best looking devices I have ever seen.

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Key travel and feel are actually very similar between the S7 and Duo 13. The Vaio Pro 13 has better travel than both.

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Lenovo ideaPad Y410 and Y510 are very sweet, but Lenovo hasn't had a review program for those. Sometimes refreshes don't get much PR love.

  • @Jaerb4

    Hey Lisa, I've had the i7 version for about a month and I've found the Dolby settings greatly improved the audio quality. It's still a bit tinny but it allows you to turn the overall volume down.
    I think the MS Store had a pricing mistake with the i7 version for $1200, but you should still be able to get the i7 one for under $1500 most of the time.

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The MacBook Air is a great machine, but I wouldn't say it's the best you can get for the price. I personally prefer a full HD IPS display and (if it's running Windows 8) a touch screen. The Sony Vaio Pro 13 scores pretty high in my book at $1,249.

  • @btbam06

  • @Jaerb4
    @Jaerb4 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The backlighting is actually great in the dark. It's biggest problem is in a medium setting, where the letters almost blend into the keys if the backlighting is on all the way. Plus it also depends on what's on the screen. On a mostly white page like TH-cam, the backlighting becomes worse than on a darker or black website.
    I think the lower backlight settings are a good compromise though.

  • @VVinterberg
    @VVinterberg 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    5:40 i'm using an acer aspire 5943g (2010) right now and they already had fn-controls on the arrow keys back then, so they didn't really "move it". it's acer tradition.

  • @twiggen4818
    @twiggen4818 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    How does the Aspire S7 compare to the Ativ Book 9 Plus in terms of the following?
    - Build Quality (how sturdy is the aluminum body? Flex, solidity, etc.)
    - Real life battery usage on bright settings
    - Pure aesthetics comparison (which one just looks sexier in person?)
    - Other comparison points you might want to mention
    Thanks so much for the awesome reviews!

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Battery life is the big diff between the first and second gen S7. First was really weak on battery life. The Vaio Pro 13 is a better buy if money is tight.

  • @dank8981
    @dank8981 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It will probably be an aliasing effect. Your video camera is sampling the screen at much faster rate than the screen refreshes itself. Thus, your camera is picking up every single refreshes on the laptop screen, which then shows up when replaying...

  • @mobiletechreview
    @mobiletechreview  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, we've done two Chromebook reviews.

  • @jimmyjohn38
    @jimmyjohn38 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have had this for about a month and I am still very pleased. I think it is definitely one of the top ultra-books that are out right now. I like it over the Sony because it is not as flimsy. Also prefer it over the Samsung AB9+ because for the same price you might get a higher resolution screen with the samsung but only 4GB of RAM. The new ASUS ultrabook will be very nice (whenever it finally releases) but probably a bit more expensive for the same specs.

  • @Anyguy4321
    @Anyguy4321 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think battery life should be in the description since it will probably be the first thing people looking to upgrade will look at.

  • @jp10007
    @jp10007 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lisa,thanks for your review on s7-392!
    Is 6 hours runtime during heavy using? with 100% brightness?
    Runtime is very important to me.
    I wonder the details of battery life.
    Thank you Lisa!

  • @mw7967

    @enricomdalcompare 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Lisa, I'm going to refresh my devices with an ultrabook this fall-winter. Which one do you think is better? Should I go for a S7 or a Vaio Pro, or switch to a Macbook Air mid 2013? Thank you very much for the reviews.

    Hi Lisa, Thank you for the review. I have been debating over several laptops....This one, the toshiba Kira (i5), lenovo yoga i7/8gb/256, or the Asus XT300 transformer. They all have unique features...I am starting my MBA, and I dabble in photography...
    Tough question, but in my shoes what would you buy?
    Thanks!

    Hi Lisa!! I am a lil late to the S7 392 party but i JUST got this and i REALLY like it. Only thing is battery life is like 5 hours, i was hoping 6+ but not going to let that ruin the otherwise stellar experience of this beauty!
    QUESTION: Did you ever hear back from Acer if the S7-391 battery pack would work with S7 392?
    Your review cinched it for me (great job as always woman!) - how is "cat"? lol
    thanx!

    Could you possibly make a review of the Acer Aspire V7 14 inch? (possibly the 482PG-9884 version)
    This looks like a very very potent and complete ultrabook even for gaming.
    A smackdown with the Asus Zenbook ux32vd would be great as well :)

    chi , Lisa. wouldu mind doing a new review on the new s7 model 393, the pwm is pretty bad on this laptop, and I've heard Acer fixed the problem on the new model.

  • @Jaerb4
    @Jaerb4 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Two of them aren't out yet, which makes them difficult to consider.
    I played this game earlier in the year with the Lenovo Helix and at some point you just can't wait for the "ultimate" machine anymore. It sucks, but the reality is that everyone besides Sony and Apple have been slow to release Haswell ultrabooks, and atm I feel like Acer is at the top for Windows.
    The Vaio Pro 13 is nice but keep in mind the default is 4gb ram 128 ssd. The 8gb 256 is $1,700+ whereas the S7 is $200-$500 less.

  • @Sepharite
    @Sepharite 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Lisa. I wanted to ask you a question and I hope you'll answer. I want to know if I should get this or the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13. I'm just looking for a computer that is fast, light, and portable. And a computer that will stay cool. This computer will be mainly for school, and other time, for watching TH-cam videos. I just wanted to ask this based on your experience with both. :)

    hello lisa.......I'm an university student
    recently I am going to buy an ultrabook, and will make a decision between this acer aspire s7 and the apple macbook air...which one would you recommend?
    The stunning diplay of this S7 is very attractive to me while the macbook air running the stable OSX is also appealed to me.

  • @kevincook1749
    @kevincook1749 10 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @ResilientME
    @ResilientME 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The way I see touch tech: Are you going to be using your PC somewhere where a mouse is impracticable? And you also can't stand touch-pads? Do you work with graphics or do note taking where a touchscreen/stylus would make your job much easier?
    If you answered no to all of the above you've got your answer. I was going to go without but I wanted to use my laptop outside away from a table and more importantly not have to play Civ on a touchpad.

  • @mobiletechreview

    Okay let me rephrase the question like this. With a $1500 budget would you choose the 392 ($1484) over the 391 ($1169) or save $300 and get the 391? Are the improvements on the new model worth the premium?

  • @trevortsang1629
    @trevortsang1629 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you had any issues with weak wifi connectivity or the signal dropping periodically? That's a common complaint about this ultrabook and acer's in general.

  • @infenit101
    @infenit101 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lisa, I'm a grad student with about a $1500 (oh how I hate to go that high) but in your honest opinion does the price justify passing on the Acer S7 391 for the 392? I can get the highest spec model on a student discount for about $1500 with 4 years Office 365 after tax. The highest spec Acer S7 391 is $1200 including tax. Also how do either of those models compare to the Sony Vaio Pro 13? Thanks!

  • @Reg3e

  • @ResilientME
    @ResilientME 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to be clear I'm no expert, just going simply on what I've learned from reviews such as this one: If performance is your concern go with the Acer or step up to a Sony Duo. For whatever reason(poor cooling?) the Vaio Pro performs worse than it's peers(the i7 even worse than it's i5 peers!).
    If image quality is your largest concern, like Lisa said in this video, the Sony is more accurate.
    I went for the Acer myself, but mainly because the MS store pricing mistake.

    I was wondering how this trackpad compared to the lenovo carbon x1, samsung ativ book 9 plus, and asus zenbook ux31a. I tried the trackpad on the acer aspire S7 in a store and I don't know if it was defective, but it was significantly worse than any other ultrabook I have used. What's your recommendation out of the laptops I've listed for the best trackpad?

    I'm in the market for a laptop. I'm still not sold on touchscreen laptops. From everthing I've been reading ultra books have not been selling well at all. The question becomes, Is this a better investment versus the Mac Air? Is touchscreen on a laptop really going to become the norm? or is this a half baked attempt on the part of Microsoft to capitalize on the touch craze? I've never owned a Mac. It's just that at $1,400. My concern is making the right choice, regardless of OS. Thoughts?

    Lisa, I just bought an HP laptop with a 1080p display. The color on the screen is horrible. I tried every setting to change the color but everything looks like it is washed out. Do you think I could have gotten a lemon or are they just using a cheap display? When I hook it up to an external monitor the colors are night and day different! The color red is by far the worst, looking like it's sat in the sun and faded. The computer is an HP Envy Touchsmart 15t-j000. What could be wrong?
