On the bottom edge is a docking port, and slots for the tabs on the docking hinge. On the left is a headset jack and physical buttons for volume and power. On the right edge of the system you'll find a microSD slot, a micro USB 2.0 port, and a micro HDMI-out port, along with the power connection. The Switch 10 has neither.įeatures Nearly all of the Aspire Switch 10's ports and connections reside on the tablet itself. Other devices correct for this with either a weighted keyboard or a secondary battery.
In Notebook mode, the device is top-heavy, and always feels like it may tip over. As with many docking tablets, the Aspire Switch 10 is the heaviest part of the device, housing all of the components. Unfortunately, the magnetic pull of the latch is strong enough to pull on the tablet before the guiding tabs are properly positioned, frequently leading to a misaligned tablet. The docking hinge is great when it works, with the magnetic latch holding firm enough to lift the tablet and keyboard together when picking up the tablet, but you can still easily remove the tablet by gently pulling the two halves apart. The hinge has two plastic tabs to guide the tablet into place and a powerful magnet in the hinge that holds the tablet firmly when docked. The keyboard's clickpad measures 3.58 inches across, which actually feels comfortably wide, compared with the crowded keyboard, and the integrated right and left buttons click smoothly.Īcer's new hinge and latch design is called Snap, for the way the tablet snaps into place. The keyboard is slightly smaller than full-size, and feels a little cramped, but the keys are comfortable and offer a smooth typing experience. When paired with the docking keyboard, the Switch 10 weighs 2.6 pounds, and measures 0.9 inch thick when closed. There is no rear-facing camera, so you probably shouldn't take it with you to museums or concerts. Just above the display is a Webcam with 1,920-by-1,080-resolution image capture-yes, the webcam captures images at a resolution higher than the display-but while it works well for Skype or Google Hangouts, the camera doesn't handle bright light very well. With a 10.1-inch screen covered in Gorilla Glass 3, the 1,366-by-768 resolution In-Plane Switching (IPS) display looks alright (if a bit low-res) and offers five-point touch. The back is covered in aluminum, with a gray finish and a crisscrossing brushstroke that looks quite nice.

The tablet itself measures 0.4 by 10.3 by 7 inches (HWD) and weighs an easily portable 1.3 pounds. The four modes include the traditional Notebook mode, Tablet mode (either with the tablet detached or backed by the closed keyboard), Tent mode, and Display mode. Unlike that system, however, the Switch 10 has a new magnetic latch and hinge that allows the tablet to be attached in one of two orientations, allowing four different use modes, much like the multimode designs seen on the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 ($299.99 at Amazon) convertible laptop or the business-focused Lenovo ThinkPad Helix ($274.99 at Amazon), another detachable tablet. With a sleek-looking design and a magnetic multimode hinge, the Aspire Switch 10 ($399.00 at eBay) is worth a look if you want on-the-go Windows capability.ĭesign The Switch 10 is Acer's latest attempt at the 2-in-1 device, a tablet with a detachable keyboard dock, giving you a laptop-style experience, similar to that seen on the Editors' Choice Asus Transformer Book T100TA (64GB) ($448.00 at Amazon).
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is the latest in a new breed of detachable Windows tablets, a category of small slates paired with docking keyboards to offer both the mobility of a tablet and the capability and comfort of a laptop.
