Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This tablet/laptop compares very closely and compares very favorably to my 2013 Windows Surface RT. Like the Surface tablet, the Acer Aspire Switch is not at all heavy and is about as thin, although at 10.1 inches it is slightly shorter. The Acer is very responsive to swipes and touches and is very, very quick. The 1.33 GHz Intel Atom is more than enough firepower for this pc. Acer's keyboard is much more like a conventional keyboard in look and feel. The keys are not sticky and had a nice click to them; It is a useful thing to have a tablet which quickly converts to a conventional laptop-like computer. Interestingly the left 'd' on the virtual tablet keyboard seems to stick, meaning it is not always immediately responsive. Out of the box the Acer Aspire is very simple to start (after ½ hour so so charging time) and very quick to set up logins, timezones, location info, etc. Since I do own the Surface and was setting the new tablet up through my wi-fi the Acer recognized me and asked if I wanted to set it up like my Surface. I agreed and within seconds the new tablet came up to a very friendly looking start page. All the tiles were set in the same order, the color scheme was identical and it all looked very familiar. I quickly set up a new look for the Acer but I was glad to have the option to clone an existing device. Within minutes I was opening apps, surfing the web and enjoying the heck out of this device. I agree with other reviewers that this is not the newest, greatest, most powerful, sexiest, etc. out there. But it sure is nice and fast and colorful and useful to have around. I think this would make a fine first tablet purchase as well as a very nice secondary device in the house. Recommended.
