The Acer Aspire S5 “world’s thinnest” Ultrabook measures just 15mm in depth at its thickest point. That’s 0.59 inches in old money. In comparison the MacBook Air is 0.68 inches and the Samsung Series 9 2nd Generation Ultrabook is 0.58 inches thick. Well, it seems like there’s more than one “world’s thinnest” Ultrabook around…
Acer managed to keep the thickness of the laptop down partly due to how the ports on the S5 are accessed. On the bottom of the laptop a panel hinges down to form a wedge(when a button is pressed), at the thickest point, towards the screen hinge, the ports are revealed and are accessible. Acer call this “MagicFlip I/O”. The action of this hinge will also tilt the keyboard of the laptop on your desk for a better typing angle, so it has a secondary ergonomic function.
