There’s certainly a great deal to know about this issue. I love all the points you have made.

Yes, you are the only one “connecting the dots” because the article says that Acer will not be releasing a Windows 8 variant until WIndows 8 is actually launched.
Like everyone else selling laptops before Oct. 26th, this will initially ship with Windows 7.
Pay attention smart guy.

I like how Acer is giving Microsoft the finger. Obviously this is not just marketing. Acer got really pissed at Microsoft for it’s Surface.

It’ll look pretty stupid to ”release” windows 8 when it’s already on market being sold.

Am I the only one connecting the dots on this one?

I really want to know what the actual battery life of the 11.6″ version is or at least the battery capacity for now. That 9 hour figure just seems more exaggerated than what’s normally claimed by manufacturers. For people interested in the 11.6″ screen category, this seems to be the main selling point of the notebook.

I also think that it’s a good thing that the touchscreen is an optional upgrade. It just seems awkward. It’s neither a traditional convertible nor like the Lenovo Yoga with its different convertible mechanism.

Are there different color options like the other Acers? I’d like a matte dark gray/graphite or black option.

Been looking for an 11.6″ ultrabook (smaller if possible). That advertised battery life is really making this stand out for me. I really want to know what the battery capacity is to get a better gauge of what my actual battery life would be.
I have a Thinkpad X230 that idles at 5.5 W with the screen on 50% and WiFi connected. Hopefully, with a ULV CPU and smaller screen, the S7 would cunsume less than that. I wonder if getting the non-touchscreen version would consume less power.

Being a non-convertible, I’m glad to hear the touchscreen is an optional upgrade. That’ll save some money.

The main things that interest me with this notebook is that it’s small and the possible battery life. I really want to know what the battery capacity of the 11.6″ S7 is. They may have crammed the battery above the keyboard. There’s a large empty space there and they combined the F and number keys too. I wonder if they’re going to still advertise the “up to” 9 hour battery life with Windows 7 on it.
