Acer Switch 12 Review
After using it for 1 week, here’s my verdict.

Display
Positive: The screen is nice, it is powered by 1920x1080 resolution and the screen is sharp. Brightness wise is very good. It has 10 fingers sensors for touch screen, pinch to zoom and double tap to click works fine. It has accelerometer and it can rotate any direction you want. It comes with Acer Pen and it works perfectly fine. Drawing on the screen is not an issue and it can recognize your palm touching on the screen and will not take that into your touch.
Negative: It is glossy type and if you are typing under the sun, it will be very reflective. The touch screen is not as intelligent as Apple iPad or iPhone, there is no predictive touch, if you point to a small text, you need to point it precisely or else it will not click on that text. If you are coming from Apple iPad or iPhone users, you will see this immediately.

Processor

Battery
Keyboard / Pointing Stick
USB Port / Micro SD Slot
SSD
Memory/RAM

i'm wondering whether the ram and the ssd are soldered to the board..

I am trying to figure out as well. As I know the SSD can be upgraded, RAM is not sure yet.

Will update you guys soon
Flying off to Kimchi land now

just got my unit, looks great so far. Here are some of my comments..

The digitizer works pretty well in scribbling and note taking, but not superb.
Haven't really tested the battery life, but i think should be around 8-9 hours browsing internet with wifi and average brightness.
Will try gaming this weekend and see how long it can last..

The keyboard works good since its a wireless , bluetooth keyboard.
I'm ok with the missing touchpad since i'm familiar with the pointing stick. If you're not use to pointing stick, you might have problem using the mouse pointer.
*
The keyboard is not Bluetooth, it's running on RF. The default Bluetooth is not switched on.

I saw this at Paradigm Mall. Salivating to buy. Those who bought it how is the pen? It is a digitizer pen or just a normal capacitive one?
*
Digitizer, like the Samsung Note 4

Broadwell Core M processor is supposed to be better than i3 and less than i5 or on par with i5

RAM is soldered, SSD upgradeable, I am getting my 256GB soon and will do a clone on my 128GB

I am sorry, I am not a gamer, I don't install any games on my laptop, I only play games via consoles laugh.gif

How's the 128gb SSD? good enough?

May I know roughly how much space is available when new?
*
Nearly 105GB when new

The capacity depends on your usage, for me it's ok, I added on 64GB microSD for my documents

Yes, LiteOn write speed is too slow!

I am used to 600MB/s Read, 550MB/s Write SSD drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

Although it's slower than my OCZ Vertex 4 but I am more than happy than the LiteOn

Is the default SSD really that bad? Cos if its about space I also don't mind getting an additional SD card. If replace the SSD then the old one wasted?

You can use the old SSD as USB drive boot and it will give you additional 100GB with additional OS

Sounds interesting. I looked for instructions on the web but couldn't find any, do you have a link on how to do this?

Where's a good place to buy a new ssd and approximate prices?

Before you boot, go into Boot menu and select boot from USB.
