The Ultrabook timeline is padding out nicely now. The latest date is from Acer India who will have the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook in Croma stores from October 15th.
This is the first time we’ve heard official news of availability so we can now expect global activities starting from the 10th (Asus in New York) through the following week or two to follow with availability very soon after. I’ve been invited to visit Toshiba Europe on the 11th so hopefuly they’ll have something solid to say about availability and there’s also an Intel awareness campaign going on globally too this week with Taiwan getting some attention today, I hear.
The news about the availability Acer S3 comes directly via Acer India who also gave a price range:
“The Intel Core i3 is priced at Rs 47,000 and the i5 is being offered at Rs 51,999. ”
47000 rand is 722 Euros, a very competitive price although I understand the sales tax is lower in India than in European countries.
