Acer Switch Alpha 12 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the latest MS Surface Pro 4 competitor, and one of the first to ship with Intel Skylake Core i5 and i7 CPUs rather than Core M- the Acer Switch Alpha 12. Despite the relatively low price- our Core i5 with 8 gigs RAM, 256 gig SS with keyboard and pen sells for $750 ($699 at Costco), the Acer has a slim aluminum casing, high quality IPS 2160 x 1440 display with touch and pen support and liquid cooling.

The tablet's included backlit keyboard is a near direct copy of the Surface Type Cover, and that's not a bad thing. It weighs 2.76 lbs. with keyboard cover and this Windows tablet is 0.6” thick. It has dual band WiFi 802.11ac with Bluetooth, a 2MP front camera and 5MP rear camera.
