Acer Aspire Switch 12 S review

Acer's latest hybrid is a multi-trick pony

Premium metal build quality ; Thin and light ; Full-sized USB 3.0 ports

Buggy performance

The Acer Aspire Switch 12 S is a testament to Acer's ability to produce a thin 2-in-1 laptop with elegant style and uniquely engineered features.

Acer Aspire Switch 12S SW7-272-M3A0 Convertible Review

Acer Aspire Switch 12S SW7-272 review – a Core M detachable

While an overall good device, it's hard to call the Aspire Switch 12S anything but ordinary these days, in a segment where you can actually find a few extraordinary devices. For the right price though, it could be the right pick for some of you, but...

look nice and it's well built; offers a backlit keyboard and good trackpad; decent screen with Active Pen support; modern fanless hardware; runs cool; includes a few latest-gen features: Thunderbolt 3 port and RealSense 3D camera

rather heavy; noisy and spongy keyboard; average battery life; too expensive for what it is
