The editors didn't like
Cheap build quality
Unimpressive benchmark scores
Acer bloatware

In a recent criticism of hybrid PCs , we pointed out several factors that are holding them back, including a lack of ideal display size, so-so performance, and Windows itself. Acer's Aspire Switch 10 does not address any of these problems and, as a resu...

Although the Acer Aspire Switch 10 doesn't offer any striking new innovations, it will hook its customers in from a price perspective. Because this device ticks enough boxes to see all out war between itself and the Asus T100. If you're after Window...
At £299, the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a sound choice for those in the market for a hybrid Windows 8 device. While it lacks the top-end feel of Lenovo's Yoga line and Microsoft's Surface 2 tablets, it is a nicely designed device and doesn't make too many c...

Abstract: When we see the Aspire brand we immediately think laptops. But Acer is on a mission to change in 2014, as the "four in one" Acer Aspire Switch 10 can attest. This is Aspire doing laptop, tablet and a number of in-between forms too. The concept isn't new...
There's nothing radically new about the Acer Aspire Switch 10, but versatility and price will make it attractive to many people out to buy a tablet that's already prepped to let you do serious work on. There are some minor design and build worries, but we...
Feels cheap, Cramped keyboard, Top-heavy as a laptop
The Acer Aspire 10 makes a few compromises: it feels plasticky, the keyboard is cramped, and its innards aren't going to win any awards. But it's perfectly fine for day-to-day computing, either in laptop or tablet mode. And it undercuts most of the compet...
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...
Acer Aspire Switch 10 Special Edition is a perfectly lovely laptop for everyday needs. When used as a laptop, it functions perfectly and doesn't betray the fact that it has a removable display. The tablet portion is especially lovely, particularly with th...
Abstract: If Amazon's list of best-selling laptops is any indication, there's a quite a market for Windows 8.1 convertible laptops—and as of late, the lion's share of buyers has been sinking their money into Asus's Transformer Book T100. Acer seems eager to take on...

Excellent screen, Islandstyle keyboards
Only 32 GB of internal memory, Battery life could be better
The Acer Switch 10 delivers a seamless tablet/notebook experience that should work well for causal users. Its hardware capabilities may be limited but overall, but it certainly does the job well...
