The editors didn't like
Cheap build quality
Unimpressive benchmark scores
Acer bloatware
Not many ports
Lowperformance CPU and GPU
Poor sound quality
Low available onboard storage space on our 32 GB model
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
Feels cheap
Cramped keyboard
Top-heavy as a laptop
Not as elegant as Lenovo Yoga solution
Not HD resolution
Deep trackpad depress
Trackpad too far user-side
Top-heavy in laptop form
Average quality screen
Poor quality trackpad
Trackpad positioning will annoy some
Not the most aesthetically pleasing Hybrid on the market
