ya saw it. Punching my heart now

Hi...wanna ask, compare to surface 3, which one is good?

As a Surface 3 user, I'd say it's a good all-rounder device, if U can accept Atom performance. Not too heavy as pure tablet, accurate display, silent, never gets hot & great pen. The cons: price, average Atom performance, slower MicroSD performance & slow Micro USB charging (5-6 hours). I use it as secondary software development machine, photography works & tablet use.

Hi.. I'm thinking of getting a laptop that can double up as a tablet and I have a few questions..

1) Is the Acer Switch worth it? So far it has the best specs from the shops I surveyed. The Asus and lenovo brands mostly have atom / coreM processors

2) What is this thunderbolt that you guys are talking about?

3) Should i get an i3 or i5? I don't play much games on my laptop. Just stream alot of videos/movies

Appreciate your assistance. Tq

Besides, the buggy, keyboard and trackpad and stylus, easy to break stylus holder.
Build Quality is alright. But might dent or easily.

Front facing speakers is modest.
If you plan to travel easy and light for 1kg get this or an iPad.
But If I have a second option, might be an iPad.

Somewhat okays, if you buy thin and light and prepare for compromises.

2) What is this thunderbolt that you guys are talking about?
The USB Type C Port, is either comes with Intel thunderbolt, which you can connect it to a Powerful Gaming Dock for GPU.
This doesn't come with Thunderbolt so don't bother.

3) Should i get an i3 or i5? I don't play much games on my laptop. Just stream alot of videos/movies
Get i3 should be safe, if you want to save some cash.
But i5 abit pricy, but it is okay if you can find a value for extended warranty online.

Fun fact, don't buy AAAA batteries from any retail stores for RM 45-60
Buy a 9V battery, potong inside get 6x AAAA battery

Extra RM200 off today only at lazada.

Includes free mouse + anti virus + 3 yrs warranty

For those of you who find the bundled charger too bulky, try charging it with a 3rd party USB C charger.

I got the Apple USB C Charger (19W) during 11/11 sales, and it works great!

this is awesome information! thanks.
its good to know. i wonder does powerbank is capable of charging it?

can you post the Photo of the charger..
Previously I tried with the Macbook charger, it works, but if not mistaken its 39W

Thank you.

Does it have the prongs thingy to curl up the wire?

Sorry its 29W

What prongs thingy? U need to buy the 2M cable separately.

I got this tip from Acer forums and Amazon Acer Aspire Alpha buyers

How is the charging speed as I noticed that the original bundled charger is 45W against this Apple charger of 29W?

I haven't measured yet.

But according to post #7 on this thread below, it's the same:

hi all,

acer switch alpha 12 vs lenovo miix 510 which 1 should i buy ? can advise ?

thanks

Well I will say give a try for the Lenovo.
I've been plague by many problems with this laptop,
Keyboard magnets not working fine, and left speakers abit janked up.
Structural integrity of the top left corner can be clicked.
A giant dead round pixel in bottom right corner.
Stylus pen battery easily go flat.
Keyboard stylus loop broken off. [Ordered Microsoft Surface Pen Loop from Cousin in Aussie for replacement]

It is more up to date compared to the out of date Acer laptop now.
