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 budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use....

Abstract: The Acer Aspire Switch 10V is a nifty little number that runs Intel's latest processor, Cherry Trail, and is powered by Intel's new Atom X5-Z8300. This reasonably lightweight tablet features a magnetic dock, chiclet keyboard, and an easy-to-use trackpad...

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 ...

Light and compact, Good keyboard, Low heat, Battery life (6 hrs 45 min)
Not many ports, Lowperformance CPU and GPU, Poor sound quality, Low available onboard storage space on our 32 GB model
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a fun, useful laptop/tablet, but only if you're looking for an inexpensive device to do word processing, web browsing, watching shows or playing tablet-oriented games on. You'll even get great battery life to boot. But anythin...
Although the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is very affordable, it's another hybrid which is neither great at being a laptop nor a tablet. It's both bulky and fiddly. We like the IPS screen and the multi-mode ability thanks to the magnetic hinge (minus the top hea...
