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
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...

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....

Good, Solid keyboard, 500GB hard drive, Lightweight and portable
Awful screen, Limited connectivity, Average battery life
In many ways, this is a current-day netbook. It serves its purpose and has a very reasonable price tag, but it isn't entirely satisfying to use. You cannot really enjoy videos on this screen and even basic tasks require some adjustment. The keyboard is ha...
As a Mac OS X user, I wasn't expecting to be wowed by Acer's latest hybrid but the device actually grew on me. Through the 36 hours, I noticed that it offered around 7 hours battery life on a full charge which is more than an average laptop but less than ...
