Acer Aspire Switch 10

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a tablet with a 10.1-inch screen and a detachable keyboard dock.

It comes with the 32-bit version of full-fat Windows 8.1, so it can run any x86 application, from Microsoft Office to any games And of course, it can either be fully operated via touch, or docked and used with a physical keyboard and trackpad.

It's based on Intel's Bay Trail platform, which (for a tablet) provides reasonably high performance, with power consumption that's finally approaching ARM-like levels.

The processor is a quad-core Intel Atom Z3745, with a clock frequency of 1.33GHz. There's 2GB of memory and it comes with either 32GB or 64GB of solid-state storage.

Design:

They were affordable and highly portable, but not particularly well-built or capable of a great computing experience. That's an uncharitable view of both netbooks and the Aspire Switch 10. From the moment you remove the Switch 10 from its packaging, you're reminded that Acer's goal has been affordability over anything else. There's a huge ugly sticker right on the front bezel, with an Intel Inside logo and diagram to show how many operating modes the tablet supports.
