Silent, fanless operation; good value for money; very useful tablet standalone mode, stylus and keyboard included
Screen not very bright
I'm inclined to think that I'd prefer a Surface Pro 4 except for two clear advantages for the Acer Switch Alpha 12. First, it has USB Type-C which is clearly the emerging connector standard. And, secondly, price. For a similarly specified (processor, RAM...
For its price class, the Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 delivers excellent performance in a well-thought-out design, and it includes a great keyboard
While the display is good, it's not as contrasty or vivid as the OLED models on other 2-in-1s. And it's got a middling pen system
The Acer Switch Alpha offers a surprisingly great design and feature set in a 2-in-1 for the money without sacrificing power...

Problems aside, the performance you get with the Acer Switch Alpha 12 at just $US800 ($1,065) is surprisingly impressive. But like most hybrids, it's not for everyone. For the passionate laptop fan the thinner Samsung 9 is better — if devoid of touchscree...
Liquidcooled goodness, Very wellpriced, Thin and light
Single USBC port, Not exactly original
This might not be the most original 2-in-1 device from Acer, but it's impressive nevertheless and undoubtedly has the best chance of sticking it to rivals...
Abstract: The Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 measures 29x20xjust over 1cm. and it weights 1275grams with the supplied keyboard attached and 909 grams without it.The attachment is very magnetic and just presents the two parts close together and they click in place. Whi...
The Acer Switch Alpha 12 is an unabashed Microsoft Surface Clone, but it's a very good one. For a fraction of the price, the Acer replicates the form factor and most important features of the Microsoft Surface. It's aluminum body may not be as light or pr
Below average battery life makes the Acer Switch Alpha 12 hard to recommend for users who can't be around an outlet constantly. For many, it may be a deal breaker, While the Switch Alpha 12 is a good value compared to the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, you'll n
Want a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 but can't justify its high price? The Acer Switch Alpha 12 is your best bet. It undercuts Microsoft's offering by hundreds of smackers and manages to replicate its performance and features. However, battery life is short whi...

The device has given us a big surprise in performance. Working with him has been very comfortable without stoppages and fluently. It is light and easy to carry because of its small size. The screen has offered us a very good time to work on it sharpness t...

Affordable, keyboard and stylus included (in the UK), ample power to rival Microsoft Surface, silent operation, decent screen, integrated and adjustable stand
Battery life limited to around 5-hours per charge, not the smallest or lightest design, trackpad has an irksome click, two-tone finish looks off, poor speakers
As a full laptop-replacement the Acer Switch Alpha 12 ticks many of the right boxes. The integrated stand is solid, the silent operation from the LiquidLoop cooling system is an obvious benefit, there's as much power on hand as a Microsoft Surface P...
