Liquid, cooled goodness, Very well, priced, Thin and light
Single USB, C 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...

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 Pro 4...
Good value for money, Full-size USB port is handy, Backlit keyboard, Runs silently
Mediocre screen calibration, Touchpad struggles with multi-touch, Middling battery life
Acer Switch Alpha 12 – Performance I reviewed the cheapest Intel Core i3 configuration of the Switch Alpha 12 with 4GB of RAM. This makes direct comparisons with other convertibles I've tested slightly tricky, as the Surface Pro 4 I reviewed had a Core i5...

The Acer Switch Alpha Tablet is a great device but is not without its flaws. For starters, the onboard memory is only 128 GB. Sure it is a SSD, which are faster than hard drives, but the space it offers is nominal. Most users will easily fill up the space

Excellent screen, Superlative performance, Great operating system in Windows 10
Poor battery life, Average keyboard and trackpad at best, Heavy, Before anyone asks, here's the wallpaper you see on my desktop
On its own, the Switch Alpha 12 is, save for its less than stellar keyboard and poor battery life, a good device.And if all you care about is performance, then it's an easy computer to recommend. Going with the Switch Alpha 12, consumers can get a modern...
