Acer Aspire 3951 - Specifications, Features and Snapshots | Acer's ULTRABOOK that targets the MacBook Air

Share This:

We've been listening about Intel's ULTRABOOKS for a while and now here Acer comes up with some leaked specs of an Acer-made ULTRABOOK show what they could be like. Catchy Name for the ultrabook is Acer Aspire 3951, it's a 13.3″ laptop with aluminum body that is just 13mm thick and weighs about 1.4kg.
Well  we'll really love to see actual Specs of Acer Aspire 3951 but at the moment what we have are rumors – a second-generation Intel Core processor that’s Sandy Bridge and optional SSD sure sound good. If the 160GB SSD is too small for you, there are 250GB and 500GB HDD options too. The Acer Aspire 3951 also reportedly features goodies like an HDMI port and Bluetooth 4.0 that enables low-power Bluetooth accessories. The battery of the Acer ultrabook should last for 6 hours on one charge, which is pretty impressive too. There’s no info on graphics but the integrated Intel graphics are probably what we’ll get. Fitting dedicated GPUs in super thin laptops usually drives the price up quite a bit, not to mention that it often causes heat issues.

The Acer Aspire 3951 will reportedly ship in November for $770-$960 (€540-€670), depending on configuration. That should give the new 13″ MacBook Airs a run for its money – they start at $1,300 (with a 128GB SSD). Acer doesn’t quite have Apple’s reputation, but that price gap should make everyone on the lookout for a similar device at least consider it...
