Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good solid laptop. Battery life was good, nice to have a built in keyboard, but also to have it removable. The screen was sensitive to the touch as it should be and the internet speeds were good. Overall - a good laptop for the money. The ATOM processor is plenty fast for what we used it for.

I enjoy this product. I like that the keyboard is detachable and easy to carry around. The only reason it did not get 5 starts is that when I took it on vacation, it would not link up with any of the free wi-fi locations I was at. That was disappointing. At home it is wonderful and I am very happy with it.

Adequate speed. Purchased for my 8 year old to learn windows as she is only familiar with apple products. It is slow but good enough for what I wanted and price was good.

This was purchased as a gift. It's a great starter and nice to have a keyboard as well. Great price for a starter.

This computer is intended for travel. I like it because it is so compact. I expected it to weigh less.

I wanted a very portable device for carrying to classes after work. This is exactly what I needed. It has limited storage so it is not suitable for an intense, heavy and/or extensive workload. I use it to browse for journal articles online and for applications such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint presentations. Please note it has a microHDMI port not a ordinary HDMI port. I have a heavy-duty laptop at home for more complex tasks.

I purchased it for my wife but ended up using it myself. It's much lighter and compact than my old laptop and is fine for use at meetings and when I travel. Running windows 10 is fine and it takes a little to get used to but it is coming along fine. I also purchased a USB optical drive which works well with it. I had to download a program for watching DVD's but there are several on the web for free. Come on Microsoft get with it.

Easy to carry on. Not too fast, but good for normal usage.

Awesome tablet for the size and price, it's a little top heavy so be aware of that. It will take a 128+ size Micro SD card that can be used as storage instead of the memory built in. Processor isn't that fastest in the world but it works for what this is designed for, great for airplanes, writing papers surfing the Web etc..

while i love the size and battery life on this 2in1, the memory could be a bit better, and the dock likes to go out when switching between laptop and tablet modes, forcing me to reboot. all in all, not a bad system for the price.

The Acer Switch One is Acer’s latest iteration of the Switch series. I’m no stranger to these models, as I’ve owned 2 other Acer tablet hybrids that were very similar. The first of which was the Acer W510 - It didn’t have the niceties that the Switch One 10 has, it was a first generation Windows 8 device circa late 2012. There was no magnetic latch, nor reversible orientation found in this model. It relied on a switch to disconnect from the keyboard. It was also thicker. It did have a spare battery in the keyboard base, but essentially it was the same keyboard and formfactor. It was also a dual core Atom of the Clovertrail persuasion, which performed only slightly better than its netbook forefathers. When I bought the Switch 10 (SW5) I really was impressed with the improvement in experience. The quad-core atom brought much better performance across the board. It was no i3, but it kept up well enough with Windows 8 native apps. It was a good evolution. The Switch 10 did drop some more of the ‘premiem’ features of the W510, but at the same time it was a lot cheaper. The Switch One 10 is yet another example of a manufacturer adding another word to a title to differentiate from the previous generation. Loaded is the Cherry Trail update of the Atom on a 14nm process. Unfortunately, this model is 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage - identical for its 4 year elder. The price however has moved down another notch, so it’s hard to complain. Instead of a iPad 3 competitor, this laptop lives at the top of the budget pile - being outclassed by cell phones (for instance Sunspider even in Edge is 3 times slower than the iPhone 7 in Safari). Still, you get a lot for your money: An IPS screen that is pretty bright, a useful form factor w/ detachable keyboard, a multi-touch touch screen and touchpad, micro-sd expandability, and HDMI (albeit micro-HDMI) out. It’s a shame that the power brick has to be a power brick - as it’s rating is 5V 3A. A little ‘evolution’ in the connector could have brought USB-C PD as the power source instead of the old school barrel jack. Still it’s a capable little machine. I guess what’s most disappointing is that in many ways it’s not any better than the device seen 4 years ago and not any faster than a it’s 2 year old predecessor. Battery life might be a tick better, but it’s a small evolution on an already great power sipper. Loading web pages is slow, and you’re best off using Edge for the best performance. The device will stutter at times, overloaded when tasks go beyond the simple (I’m a power user, so this affects me much more than it might a basic user). Coupled with the limited RAM and storage, it’s a computer that stands as a great ‘cloud’ consuming device, but not something you’d want to do any serious computing on. While the embedded GPU is light years faster than what was found in the Clovertrail chipset, it’s still not something you’d want to use for anything but casual games. What sets it apart from other budget tablets is the complete picture it offers. You get full Windows 10 w/ it’s ability to run legacy apps (albeit slowly), a keyboard that is touch typable, great battery life (accept standby isn’t as good as it should be), Word/Office Mobile, and a variety of form factors to use the device in. An Android tablet of similar price most likely won’t be as versatile - and even if it was wouldn’t offer the full capabilities you get with Windows 10. A iPad in this price range would be used, most likely two or more generations behind, and come with no keyboard. As long as you know what you’re getting yourself into, the Acer Switch One 10 offers a curated design in a great budget tablet. You’d liken it to buying the last model year of an older body style car. The body panels have been redesigned to make it look modern, and engine tuned up, but it’s the same car that was released 4 years ago but sold at a great discount. This means you’re getting probably the most idealized design of the tablet that Acer released 4 years ago. The design is cleaner and sleeker, the tablet portion doesn’t have any strange design warts found in the first generation. But the downside of course is that this certainly doesn’t represent the ‘latest and greatest’ in the Windows tablet land. Nor does this tablet have some of the niceties of previous tablets. This is a device of compromises. If you have the budget, I’d highly recommend looking at Acer’s Switch V10 - which is a completely new generation. I’m sure it isn’t all roses, but the vision for the future is there. It’s this device’s spiritual successor and while it has much of the same hardware, it also has better wifi, USB-C and newer components. Overall I’d recommend the Switch One 10 for anyone that can snag it on a good deal and needs a ‘thin-client’ to go along with other Windows machines they own. A college student might want to consider this if their studies consist mainly of note taking and/or paper writing as it does a good job with everyday tasks. However Comp Sci student would fall asleep waiting for a compile to finish. I use it as an occasional machine for light tasks, as that is about all it can handle.

This is a convenient to carry to take with you anywhere there is Wi-Fi. It has Windows 10 which is what I wanted. The keyboard makes it versatile and is easily separated from the screen.

I purchased this laptop to do basic e-mail & web surfing from the comfort of my recliner while watching TV. It is no powerhouse, and I knew that when I purchased it, but the price and portability were right. It functions fine for e-mail, surfing, and even handles Word & Excel without any issues. It's a little slow loading some things, but there are no problems. For under $200 I have a basic computer connection that I can use while watching TV, that converts to a 10" touch screen tablet. It will be the perfect size for some upcoming travel, too. If you want to open a dozen screens, and edit pictures & graphics then get an i5.

This laptop is heavier than I wanted it to be. I carry it in my backpack to use at work to take an online class. Overall it is a good laptop with enough speed to surf the web, type papers and log into an online class.

I had an older Acer netbook and upgraded to another brand. That one was nice, but when the touch screen shattered, we picked this up for a good price. After knowing and expecting super slow speeds, I was pleasantly surprised with how fast this computer went. It isn't made for playing games or heavy duty work, but I just use it for surfing the internet and the kindle app on it. It handles those tasks without a problem. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. If I were a heavier computer user, it might be a little slow, but for a casual user, you can't beat it!

Nice little laptop for my daughter who uses it for school. Handles web browsing and Office applications well. Performance is acceptable however a memory upgrade should be considered.

The tablet portion is pretty light, but when combined with the keyboard it gets a bit heavy (if you are looking for only a tablet) but I need a full keyboard. The tablet works well, snaps together with keyboard via tongue/groove sort of things with magnets. The keyboard is a tiny bit slow response to my fast typing but really not bad and for 98% of people would not notice, I suspect. It was extremely easy to set up and ease of use is good. The other thing that was helpful to me was in-store purchase with a sales rep who was knowledgeable and knew the competing products as well as the one I purchased. Can't find that shopping online.

great for streaming video and other web-based applications. I would recommend picking up extra memory, the 32 gb goes pretty fast with apps and programs.

This is a great computer for the casual user. If you are using it primarily for word processing, social media and emails, it is perfect for the price

I purchased theseto be able to get for use in our shop to instll a timeclock app. They worked very well to connect to our network and utilize a database driven program running on SQL machine. The removable keyboard works great when we need to get on and do admin stuff, like updates. We bought soem tablet mounting kits and mounted them to different places in the shop. We currently are running 5 of these machines and they are all woriking great..
