The editors liked
Solid battery life
Vibrant screen
Nicely priced
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 has a hybrid mechanism that actually works
And it has a decent keyboard and touchpad for such a small body
An interesting take on the multi-mode hinge
Keyboard has a 500GB hard drive inside
Tablet storage can be upgraded with microSD
Excellent screen
Tablet has built-in USB and HDMI
MIcroSD slot
Front-facing speakers
Versatile four-mode design
Decent screens
Relatively good keyboard
The editors didn't like
Cheap build quality
Unimpressive benchmark scores
Acer bloatware
The component-filled top half makes the system top heavy and prone to tipping over backwards. Performance feels sluggish for all-day use
And the default 32GB SSD will be too small for many
Screen has a relatively low resolution
Battery is pretty mediocre
32GB option has virtually no storage (14GB) when out of the box
Magnets are a touch too strong
And you'll find the tablet won't always line up properly when attached to the dock
Abstract: Acer has been chasing after the hybrid laptop dream for a long time. Quirky iterations, such as the Aspire P3 and the Aspire R15 were interesting experiments, but they all failed to strike the right balance between a laptop and tablet. Today, the company ...
Abstract: The 10.1-inch display packs a super crisp 1920 x 1200 pixels, and is protected by the latest Gorilla Glass 3 material. Viewing angles are excellent, as is the image quality, thanks to the IPS display used within. The entire unit weighs in at 1.17kg, makin...
We liked The Aspire Switch 10 is a true hybrid device, as it works just like a netbook when the dock is attached. It's perfectly suited to being carried around in tablet form as a portable media player, and used as a laptop for document writing and editin...

Abstract: The Acer Aspire Switch 10 Pro is a little cheaper than a Surface Pro 3 or Yoga Pro 3 — but there's a reason for that.Everyone, it seems, is doing convertible laptops these days with split tablet sections. In a way, that's been an inevitability ever since ...

Acer's play for the hybrid tablet space is an interesting one, but there are clear signs of it being a first generation product, with some design issues and a battery that needs some serious work, especially with Acer's suggestion of up to eight hours for...

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use....
Abstract: Acer has a new Switch laptop in its catalog, and it features an extra durable display thanks to the inclusion of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The machine is a hybrid — the display pops free of the hinged keyboard for extra portability whenever you'd like. We...
Acer Aspire Switch 10 Special Edition is a perfectly lovely laptop for everyday needs. When used as a laptop, it functions perfectly and doesn't betray the fact that it has a removable display. The tablet portion is especially lovely, particularly with th...
