Aspire S5: Thinnest ultrabook in the world announced [VIDEO]

It was recently announced that a new laptop by Acer will be the thinnest Ultrabook available on the market, in the United States.

The Aspire S5 is an Ultrabook that weighs less than three pounds, which is actually lighter than the new Macbook Pro that was announced this month.

This Ultrabook is 0.59 inches at its thickest point, and 0.44 inches at its thinnest, and comes with an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 processor and has 256 GB solid state drive.

Acer will begin selling the computer online and through retailers in the United States the last week of June for $1,399.99.

In conjunction with the S5, Acer also announced that it has refreshed its Aspire S3 Ultrabook. The new S3 will have 256 GB of storage and has received a new color scheme, as well.

The new Aspire S3 will be available immediately and starts at $648.

Alcer stated that anyone who buys one of its Ultrabook computers, which currently run Windows 7, from now to the end of January, will be eligible to upgrade to Windows 8 for $14.99.
