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...
Fantastic value for money, Good battery life for the cost, Includes Windows 8.1, Nice and light when used as either a tablet or laptop, Snap hinge Magantised docking technology is intuitive
Average quality screen, Poor quality trackpad, Trackpad positioning will annoy some, Not the most aesthetically pleasing Hybrid on the market
Solid construction, Sturdy docking hinge, Light and slim, Long battery life, Microsoft Office 2013 included, Runs cool and silent, Good value
Small keyboard, Lackluster display, Poor 3D performance
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...

Affordable Windows 8.1, decent screen viewing angle, magnetised docking mechanism works well, multi-position for varied use
Not as elegant as Lenovo Yoga solution, not HD resolution, deep trackpad depress, trackpad too far user-side, top-heavy in laptop form
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...
