First off, I bought this laptop brand new on ebay for about $400.
Now on to the laptop itself. I wasn't expecting much except for an ultrathin laptop. I was actually quite impressed when I first booted it up. Before this laptop I had any extremely bulk HP Probook 4436s with extended battery that was a pain to take around college. It had 8 GB of ram but suddenly, after booting one day, only recognized 4. That laptop died for reason I don't know why, but anyways back to this review.
Acer didn't cut any corners with this sleek laptop. It has a nice sleek brushed aluminum look and very minimal plastic. This ultrabook is so sleek that I can carry in my backback and barley notice it as my textbooks sometimes weigh even more then this. The performance of the core i3 1.5GHz is good for the needs of me, a college student. I can do web surfing with multiple browser windows/tabs open at a time and still have minimal lag. The 4GB on memory is soldered onto the board so it is NOT upgradeable if that is what you are looking for. It is speedy enough to do work on Libre office. Boot times are fast, but the sleep wake time is a little longer then what they state. It is more around 2 seconds but still not bad as my old laptop would take 15+.
The keyboard is extremely nice to type on. It is very quite and when I press a key I don't have problems with it not registering. I am a touch typer so I am more gentle then others when typing. My old HP would have problems with registering a key click and it would bug the crap out of me as I had to constantly go back and fix "lok" and "shool" from my writing. This is not a problem present in this Acer.
There is very minimal heat when this computer is doing basic tasks like word processing and surfing. It does get a little hot, I would say around 90-100 F but I don't know exactly. The fan is quite and even when it does turn on it is blaring loud like other laptops can sometimes get. If doing an intensive task it will get louder but nothing that isn't bearable.
The screen is altogether great for the price. It is not full HD like other screens but then again you aren't paying an extra $100 either. Viewing angles from looking from the top are bad. If viewing from the side or bottom it mostly gets dim and glare is more noticeable. As there isn't a anit-glare coating that I can see of. Colors are vivid on medium to high brightness.
The charger that is lightweight and doesn't feel like you are lugging around a giant brick. Also, it is somewhat small and fits nicely into a bag. Can't really say much more about that since I am not a electrician.
Had it for about two weeks and am so far impressed with this slim, speedy little beast. Might write another review after I get some more real world data.

My wife has had hers for several months and I decided to order one as well. I love the 13" screen, light weight, no noisy fan, no cooling ports on bottom to worry aout blocking, never hot, quick start-up, construction. Note price fluctuates dramatically so one has to watch daily. Mine from Amazon was $426 incl. shipping. My old 15.5" Compaq was inexpensive and totally reliable but now its' size and weight etc seems like a dinosaur in comparison.Best Deals for Acer 13.3" Laptop 4GB 500GB + 20GB SSD | S3-391-6448
This is a very nice laptop for the price. I paid under $350 for a refurbished unit and at that price point this laptop is unbeatable. The track pad is a bit "clunky", but that's not a deal breaker. It's light weight and ultra thin profile is fantastic and every bit as good as the ones that cost $300 $400 more. The time to up and running from sleep mode is very quick and the boot up time from a complete power off mode is acceptable for the price. This line of Acer Ultrabooks is at the bottom of the performance and specification spectrum for this category, but unless you place a high demand on your laptop you won't be disappointed in this machine for the price.Honest reviews on Acer 13.3" Laptop 4GB 500GB + 20GB SSD | S3-391-6448
I just received this laptop for few hours ago. I've using it for about 10 hours and writing this.First of all, I really liked its light weight compared to my old thick heavy laptop which caused me back pain.
I have charged its battery full and went out with it. After two and a half hours, it died. Apparently, it supposed to be run for at leat 5 hours, since the specification describes it runs about 5.5 hours. I was so not feeling great, because I didn't bring my charger with me, since I thought it would last for at least 4~5 hours. I was only using office word. After that I came back home, and I tried to adjust the brightness of the monitor, but it did not work. It still does not work. I just got the brand-new laptop, even if it is refurbished, I still paid for about $408 including shipping of $8 something. However, surprisingly, the major function does not work!!! It is really horrible... But still, it is worth with this low price. other functions work perfectly find, but the battery running time and control of the brightness.
So I just thought that I am the unfortunate one...ㅜㅜ

Very good looks, really thin, fast in operation, sound could be better. Real ultrabook just 0.5 inch thin and very light. I would recommend the product.
