My personal Review:
The Good:
- Great IPS Display
- somewhat great travel keyboard
- Run decently cool on light programs
- Good Malaysian Highpoint Service Centre if you are based in KL.
The Bad :
- Badly placed Home and End key...
- Heats up on backplate real quick on intensive apps
- Somewhat sketchy Palm Rejection
- No backlit keyboard
- Lack of Acer Dock/Type C dock currently available
- The Glossy Reflective Display, hard to read if you are under light.
- DENT GATE Find a case or protective cover....
- Acer' stylus runs battery like water. What's more it is not rechargable. You need numberous AAAA Battery.
- Bad build quality, currently it is my 2nd replacement unit (waiting for colelction).
First Unit : Faulty Digitizer where there is a deadzone. Second Unit (First Replacement Unit): Dead Left Speaker after a few months of use.
- Acer Switch Alpha 12 battery life only last me through 2-3 hours of use on 100 brightness, not as advertised, roughly 8 hours of use on their website.
- Even through like tasks like Words and Chrome, even running of Edge, the best you can get is 4 hours on Maximum Brightness
