The editors didn't like
Single USBC port
Not exactly original
While the display is good
It's not as contrasty or vivid as the OLED models on other 2-in-1s. And it's got a middling pen system

Low price, Intel Core i5 and i7 performance, nice design and materials. Keyboard (and sometimes pen) included
Battery life isn't great
We're really impressed at the power and value Acer offers with the Switch Alpha 12. Yes, like other competitors, it's a Surface Pro 4 clone, but that's not a bad thing: Microsoft created the Surface line to inspire and spur manufacturers to create excitin...

performance, big storage capacity, fanless cooling, good input devices with backlight, solid construction, display with strong colors can be very well calibrated, good microphone, cameras
speakers, short battery life

Outstanding value, Outperforms competing Core M-based tablets, Passively cooled, Excellent QHD display, Good port selection
Keyboard doesn't sit totally flat, Pen technology lags behind competition's, Good battery life, but still falls short of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4
Fanless and silent, the Switch Alpha 12 is a huge value among Surface-style Win 10 2-in-1 detachables: Core i5 power, a stylus, and a keyboard in one $799 test unit. Read More…...

A bit erratic touchpad performance, Limited connectivity options, Slightly hefty for a tablet, PWM from 0 to 100% screen brightness
The performance and form factor of this device puts it in a category of its own and on par with Microsoft's premium Surface Pro 4. In terms of design and build quality, the 2-in-1 device is just flawless – rigid and premium construction with easy to snap...
