Acer Aspire Switch 10 E

For the price, Switch 10 E is a robust and have a full feature on the productivity of the base, but it also has some serious budget concessions, including a top-heavy design prone to tipping over and the lack of full-size ports and connections.

Design and Features

Outside, the Acer Switch 10 is good, with a patterned cross hatch texture on the outer lid fingerprint avoid heavy glossy black plastic. But at £ 2.8 (1.27kg), it was heavy, especially for a 10-inch screen. Many laptops 13 inches weigh less, and combined with thick body, tiny buttons and screen bezel width. Two parts of the easiest to fit together, assisted by a strong magnetic pull that becomes apparent when the teeth at the hinge get close to the slot on the bottom edge of the tablet. When fitted together, the whole composite looks and feels much like a standard clamshell laptop, but because almost all of the components are packed in the back of the screen, clamshell mode is top heavy and can easily be reversed backwards if you are not careful. 

At the base is a 500GB hard drive, which is great for storing media files and large size goods. Items. As an option, you can set that extra hard drive to encrypt itself when the two parts are not the same, basically using half a tablet as a key to open it. Keyboard, while small, at least laid out well. The keys have a decent depth and sign up easily, but it also has the feel of soft, squirming a bit under your fingers as you type. Important keys such as Shift or Control sometimes shortchanged on a smaller keyboard but here they are all big enough to hit easily.

Large touchpad is very responsive, and important multi-touch gestures such as two-finger scroll work properly, avoid the other pitfalls other budget falls into the Windows system. Windows 10 deserves at least some credit for that, thanks to the excellent built-in support of the movement, such as swiping three fingers up to see all open applications. 10.1-inch screen is surrounded by a black bezel especially spacious and has a native resolution of 1,280x800 resolution, comparable with 1,366x768 display found on many budget laptops. But it is still low, especially considering how many major laptop and tablet has blasted past on the resolution of 1,920x1,080, and how many PCs we use now ranges from consuming large amounts of information online or stream and play HD video. The screen works well for day-to-day, Web surfing and productivity, but the upper surface so shiny that it was susceptible to glare and reflections. Thin speaker sound also keep this from being a great way to enjoy multimedia content.

Connection, Performance and Battery

USB 2.0 port built into the keyboard base, if any other connection is housed in this half-tablet hybrid. SD card, and then USB 2.0 and also HDMI ports available on the left edge of the screen are all mini or micro variety and you'll need an adapter or a special cable to use, so plan accordingly. Micro USB port on the tablet is also used for charging, so that would be occupied if the system is installed. Thanks to the performance of Windows 10, you can use a Switch 10 E for all kinds of everyday tasks, from reading and writing for video playback office productivity and basic applications, without ever feeling too like you're running a low-power Intel Atom CPU. Dive deeper photo editing with Photoshop or try to play a game, and it will start to slow down. That said, a lot of games in Windows applications store huge play even on the Atom system.

On the use, including the work on the document productivity and HD video streaming, Switch 10 E performed well, although sometimes it took a few seconds for the keyboard and touchpad to be recognized after waking the system from sleep mode. Thanks to the highly efficient Intel chip for low power PCs, Acer Aspire Switch 10 E specs has a battery life is excellent, runs for 8:24 in video playback battery drain test. It was about 25 minutes longer than the HP Stream 11.
