http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/07/dsc01962-copy2.jpg With dozens and dozens of Ultrabooks on parade, you’d be forgiven if one skinny laptop with an ultra-low voltage processor started to look like the next. Even so, it’s tough to forget the Acer Aspire S5: of all the ultraportables we’ve seen these last nine months, this is the only one with a motorized port cover.

It’s an intriguing product, to be sure, and the stakes are especially high given that $1,400 price: you’d have to *really *enjoy that form factor (and everything else) to choose it over some less expensive ultraportable. So is it worth it? Is that drop-down door anything more than a gimmick? Questions for the ages, and ones we’ll tackle in our full review after the break.Gallery: Acer Aspire S5 review
