The battery life is not too different from the competing Windows tablets, SP4 included. There's no quick charge for the battery but charging time is not that bad.

Reduce another hour or two when you're using graphics software such as Photoshop. The battery probably last 5-6 hours when doing normal stuff like web surfing or checking emails. The only downside is, to deploy the stand, you have to fiddle with the small recessed slot to pull the stand out. You can use the stand in any position but you only get the advantage of the rubber grip with the tablet in 45 degrees to vertical position.
At the bottom is a rubber grip that prevents it from slipping and it works great. I don't have a 4K screen to test it with. It's best to plug into a power source as this drains the battery. The tablet is powerful enough to drive a 2560x1440 external screen and itself. If you want to use an external monitor, you can do so via the USB Type C port with a USB Type C to HDMI adapter. Anyway, it does not become super bright, it just becomes slightly brighter as if the tablet thinks that you would work better on a brighter screen. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug. I mean I've already turned that off in Windows settings, but whenever I open a graphic software and a white canvas is being presented to me, I can see the screen slowly brightening up. One downside of the screen is, I can't seem to turn off the auto-brightness feature. If you just want a budget digital sketchpad, the screen quality is more than satisfactory. If you're looking for a tablet with precise colour accuracy, then you need to spend more money on other options. I'll not be checking physical colour proofs against this tablet screen. From my naked eye, the screen looks bright and colours are vibrant.
Who are you going to believe? To make things worse, Acer themselves do not release the sRGB gamut information.Īnyway, for the price I paid, I'm not expecting a high end IPS screen. I've read reviews online and websites are claiming different results. In short, 2160 x 1440 is extremely usable.Īs for the sRGB gamut range. User interface of the OS, Adobe software is small but not frustratingly small. I'm happy to say that 2160 by 1440 resolution is satisfactory for use with all the graphics software I've tested. SP4 suffers the problem of having tiny user interface from older graphics software, such as those from Adobe CS5 & CS6. That's lower than SP4's 2736 x 1824 resolution, and that's a good thing. The screen resolution is 2160 by 1440, 3:2 ratio. Downside is the trackpad is small.ĭepending on which model you buy, the Acer Active Stylus Pen may or may not be included. Typing is comfortable for a detachable keyboard. It attaches to the bottom of the tablet using strong magnets that snap into place. The keyboard is well built, mainly because they copied the SP4 Type cover down to the matte material used. It's a nice feature but the implementation is bad. If you take out your Alpha Switch from the bag and the pen gets hooked onto something, it's easy to tear off the sleeve. I've already torn off the sleeve by accident. Unfortunately, the stylus holder looks and feels weak. The keyboard has a stylus holder that comes in the form of a sleeve pasted onto the back of the keyboard. I'm not sure about your threshold for heat but it's not like super hot. However, the screen feels warm too, so it can be felt when drawing. It's not a big issue unless you're one who touches the back often. This guarantees silent operation however I do find the back to be warmer than the SP4. There are two things going for the Acer Alpha Switch that's not available on the SP4.Īlpha Switch uses liquid cooling instead of fans. The price advantage is significantly in Acer's favor.
Equivalent SP4 currently cost USD $1050 without the $100 Type Cover). Mine's a secondhand unit so it's cheaper. The unit I bought is the mid-range model with Intel i5-6200U with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. To give you the bottom line upfront, hardware is fine, all the issues come down, again, to the Windows tablet platform. My review will be from an artist perspective, someone who wants to draw and use a tablet like a digital sketchbook.

Second, it is significantly cheaper and comes with almost the same specifications as the Surface Pro 4. First, it's comes with a pressure sensitive stylus. I was interested in this tablet for two reasons. The Acer Alpha Switch 12 was released in mid 2016 into a market that's already crowded with tablets and 2-in-1s.
