The editors didn't like
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 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....
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Acer Aspire Switch 10, a $379 full Windows 8.1 10.1″ convertible/hybrid/transformer laptop and tablet in one. The Switch 10 has a 2 piece design where the tablet separates from the keyboard dock, much like the Asus Transformer T100. ...
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 ...
Versatile four-mode design, Decent screens, Relatively good keyboard
Mediocre battery life, Questionable hinge design, Hard drive inside keyboard dock

An interesting take on the multi-mode hinge; Keyboard has a 500GB hard drive inside; Tablet storage can be upgraded with microSD;
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; Very s
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...
