Decent
But unimpressive performance
Shorterthanexpected battery life
No rear camera
Lots of bezel surrounding the display
Stiff keyboard keys
Mediocre battery life

Battery life could be better
Downsized keyboard takes a little getting used to
No USB 3.0

Design becomes topheavy and prone to tipping over backwards when working in “laptop” mode
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...

Decent, but unimpressive performance, Shorterthanexpected battery life, No rear camera
As we said at the beginning of this piece, the design of a system like the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is driven by a desire for versatility. Performance matters, as it does for any system, but focusing only on a convertible's benchmark scores will lead you to ...
good ergonomics for this type of device (keyboard, trackpad, display), good multi-mode design with a solid hinge, vivid, bright FHD panel, nice quality speakers, price
plastic used for the chassis feels a little cheap
Although the FHD Aspire Switch 10 SW5-012-13DP is slightly slower than the HD version, the battery life is longer and the display brighter. The decrease in performance will hardly be noticeable, since our review convertible was able to make up most of the...

Expensive, chunky case, keyboard has no touchpad
For those who use ThinkPad notebooks every day at work, the ThinkPad 10 tablet will seem like a long-lost friend. The styling -- corporate black with a couple of red touches -- is immediately recognizable as a ThinkPad. It has a good mix of performance an...
