Acer Aspire S5 hides ports behind motorized door
-- I'm Dan Ackerman and we -- here take a look at the Acer aspire S five.
Now if you remember all the way back at CES 2012 -- January 1 saw the system.
At the time Asus -- it was going to be when it finally came out -- world's thinnest thirteen inch ultra book.
And it will say it's.
Actually -- hair thinner and a tiny bit lighter than even a thirteen inch MacBook Air -- -- you want on their laptop that's -- hair thinner than this but that's not technically called an ultra book.
So for now.
Thank -- to record stands but that is not the most exciting thing about.
This particular laptop I'm gonna show you what it is.
If you look on the side here -- new USB port -- video out anything like that.
Which you have to do is very carefully at the back and after -- right here you print the tiny button and.
That's right a little motorized port door opens up and it's got two USB three point oh ports.

Rather than the traditional spinning platter hard drives and it is very cool to see thunderbolt in a windows laptop and -- -- museum of fine outside of Mac books.
Even though this is a very thin very light laptops got an Intel Core I seven CP unit that field to a low voltage version but it's still plenty speedy and I -- not --
-- discrete graphics have different if you add fuel to books but not here tonight he's a lot of games.
But I thought that the at the keyboard in the touchpad worked very well for such -- small laptop.
More than that drove me crazy the keyboard actually not backlit that the museum almost any -- but these days that's a real mission.
So from willing to take a chance on the odd bit motorized magic -- -- on the back and won't spend a little more this thing is thirteen 99.
I've been to check out time and actually the disease is -- has --
