Aspire S7 392 - 2nd Generation Perfection Unboxing & Overview

The Aspire S7 392 unboxing and overview presents a refreshed, second generation ultrabook that Linus is clearly excited about. He frames the S7 392 as a meaningful upgrade over the original S7, highlighting improvements like a slimmer chassis, Gorilla Glass on the lid, and a dual torque hinge that allows wider opening and a more tablet-like feel when handheld. The video proceeds with an in-depth unboxing, showing the new power adapter, some minor accessory changes, and the immediate sense that Acer has tuned the cooling to run quieter thanks to Haswell’s lower power draw, even if the device itself runs a touch warmer in the middle. Linus then dives into the keyboard and touchpad upgrades, noting deeper key travel and a less twitchy touchpad, which contribute to a more satisfying typing experience. He confirms the laptop’s build quality with an aluminum unibody and Gorilla Glass, and he points out that the device remains ultralight and highly portable for daily use, ideal for users who want a premium, compact Windows machine. The second half of the video shifts to specifics and practical takeaways. Linus explains that the S7 392 uses Haswell processors with configurations including 4 or 8 gigabytes of RAM and RAID zero SSD options, which he weighs in terms of performance versus reliability. He also covers the revised IO layout, including Mini DisplayPort, full-size HDMI, USB 3.0 ports, and a card reader, while praising the improved power brick design and its modular adapters for wall and travel use. Battery life is discussed in the context of Intel Ultrabook targets, with Acer quoting 7 to 8 hours, placing it in the same ballpark as the prior generation but with more balanced thermals and acoustics. Linus concludes that the Aspire S7 392 is his preferred option among available ultrabooks, praising its design language and real-world usability, and invites viewers to share their opinions on whether this Acer should be their next portable workstation or be dismissed as a lineage product.
