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.

More than that drove me crazy the keyboard actually not backlit that the museum almost any -- but these days that's a real mission.
