- The backlit keyboard with its three levels of brightness is quite helpful to work in dark environments.
- The Core i7 processor in Acer Aspire S7 is overskill. Software that needs such processing power like gaming and image editing is sure to be undeserved by it's 11.6-inch screen. Similarly, its high resolution of 1920x1080 makes icons look miniscule and fonts unreadable on display. But users can opt for lower resolution for a clear view.
- Though the speakers in S7 have the Dolby label, they are not that good.
- The keys on the keyboard are very slightly raised, leaving little room for tactile feedback during touch typing, This affects the typing experience.
