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

Solid price point and feature set on a capable Windows tablet. Keyboard attachment and release system is bestinclass. Great portability
Would like to see a higherresolution display. No rearfacing camera included; selfies only. With weight predominantly in the slate, design becomes topheavy and prone to tipping over backwards when working in “laptop” mode

Nifty flexible dock, Full Windows 8, Slick performance
Low-res screen, Plasticky design
As long as you can overlook the plasticky build and low-res screen, the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a solid device for staying productive on the go. You can download any Windows software you like, and the keyboard is fine despite its size for bashing out ess...

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a nice little hybrid laptop and tablet. Although the design is a little chunky, it seems like you get a decent amount for your money here. Look out for a full review soon....
