Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-011 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) convertible notebook (Intel Atom Z3745, 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, Intel HD Graphics, Win 8.1) gray (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Many of the problems I had at first also. I have the switch 10 now quietly instead for a few days and have also worked with current software and driver updates always the problem that occasionally turned out the keyboard or the buttons on the tablet did not work (volume and Windows Touch Button) or instead of loud / Screenshots created or displaying help (Narrator) einschalteten.
Since the problems initially not occur every time you restart your tablet, it can only be bad software by Acer. In my case it was the software "Acer Quick Access" (actually a very useful supplement) and "Acer Launch Manager" that caused the problems. The software appears to be a malfunction, the "simulated" holding down the Windows button on the tablet. That is why, for example, sometimes created the "Volume Down" button a screen (typically, this is accomplished by pressing the Windows button + volume down) rather than the volume regulate.

After I had all Acer programs removed, the buttons worked perfectly on the tablet, and the keyboard is running since without problems.

Now for the rest:

The hardware is decent for the price. Yes, the tablet tilts backwards when choosing the angle of inclination in connection with the Tastaturdock too high. But it was known to me and I had prepared myself. If you normally sitting at a desk, do not experience this problem.
The display is super, I can see no backlight bleeding, and the brightness is very good. The display reflects strongly, but that's in this price range simply normal.

Windows 8.1 runs fast, and thanks to the low resolution (WXGA) you have to adjust also no display scaling in Windows (so it stays at 100%). This helps especially older applications that implement the scaling is not good.

My field of application:
Surfing, office (yes with it) create and a few small applications with Visual Studio 2013. But enough of the Intel Atom processor loose.

If one disregards the teething problems, the switch 10 a recommendation is well worth it! I'll keep it definitively. Because if only the great display and the keyboard acceptable justify the price. Maybe Acer brings soon a software update that eliminates the more recent problems.
