Expensive
Chunky case
Keyboard has no touchpad
Decent
But unimpressive performance
Shorterthanexpected battery life
No rear camera
Lots of bezel surrounding the display
Stiff keyboard keys
Mediocre battery life
Below average audio
It's a small Intel Atom machine
Performance is more fast netbook than laptop replacement. Not a lot of internal storage
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
Low-res screen
Plasticky design
Short battery life. Top-heavy design
Only 32 GB of internal memory
Battery life could be better
Downsized keyboard takes a little getting used to
No USB 3.0
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

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a novel take on the 2-in-1 notebook/tablet hybrid, but both the tablet and the keyboard halves of the equation are mediocre, and the tablet's battery life is too short....
