Anyone noticed the Stylus Holder Loop starting to break off...?
Mine did....

For all Malaysian units no.

I have low hopes for you.
Better wait for a better alternative bro

For web surfing yes. okay lah. Quite cool is reasonable warm air conditioning conditions, as long you don't play 4K movies or games should be fine.
But I personally have tons of issues with the RMA unit and the Original unit, and the stylus too.
Went to highpoint lowyat more than 10 times already not mistaken

I'd bought the i5 version, abit overkill for 8GB of RAM.
but storage is sufficient for light users like me.
Try looking to Asus Transformer 3, but I technically not sure when's the launch.

Its speakers Stylus is fairly wonky, the metal plastic surface is easily dented. If you don't use it should be fine. But defeats the purpose.
Very awkward position using the headphone jack on top.

Plus no Thunderbolt Type C support.

OneNote better find N-Trig's digitizer.

Asus Transformer 3 no thunderbolt support?
I remember reading got one.

Lenovo Mixx line ok they released new one today.
Not sure when reaches MY ah.

Screen Protector? I don't think it will work with the Digitizer.
You can ask a friend or China Taobao agent to order RM 35 for tempered glass.
But find someone help you stick la

take off your stylus and place it else where....
my stylus holder broke

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.


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
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

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

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.

Malaysian Unit doesn't have that.
But comes with 1 year international warranty.

I think you need to go Singapore to get the Backlit Keyboard.

Depending on your case, but most of us got it doesn't includes it.

Didn't use casing, but dropped my device a few times quite heart broken...
Might need to skin it one day

Link case I can't find it tho.

Didn't saw the case tho.
Rather go get a pouch for RM 30 at lowyat

Depends on what you think, because I'm a robust user. I travel and write and draw notes on the laptop alot during my last 5 months on college.
I need thin and light for college.
This laptop have proven abit unsuited for me, but it needs to stay with me for another 2 years.
I also cram my laptop into my stuffed bag with books and into public transport.

Dead pixel issue wasn't caused by me, it was manufacturer fault, my first unit had a dead zone with the stylus where I can only somewhat write on it.
Speakers wasn't its best selling point, despite being front facing speakers.
The speaker have a particularly clickly sound on the left. I don't think dropping it on the wooden floor off a short table will effect it much.
(I owned a Bluetooth Speaker, so I don't use it much).

Magnets for this keyboard is really weak, it can't hold up to its weight after a few weeks.

The reason why I drop it alot, because I use a small desk table next to my bed.
The weight distribution of the tablet and the stand angle doesn't do well around 70-80 degrees and clicks back.


Acer Stylus Holder - that one tons of people been complaining on the Acer Forum.
Can go Singapore/Aussie to buy replacement for RM 20.

Well you can bring it to Highpoint, they can fresh reinstall for you for free under warranty
---------------------
Normally the device will have its own factory reset, unless that factory reset folder is corrupted or you half way reset Windows, your tablets suddenly collapse into its keyboard case/you close it yourself, the install will be corrupted.
You are technically required to bring it back to Highpoint.

Or if you prepared a Microsoft Windows Repair Disc after you purchased the laptop
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17...tem-repair-disc

Basically everything should be fine.

I think it is due to wear and tear opening and close, I went to test our Surface Pro 4 today also face this issues, but I really like surface pro pen. Unlike Acer one.
Surface feels like got flexible rubber tip easy to write one.

Surface Pro Pen doesn't work for Acer Switch Alpha 12
(Lenovo Mixx works not mistaken.)

Screen durability? I didn't scratch it so far.
Not sure is glass or plastic.

Dropped it face on twice I recalled, mostly it will land on its back because I set the hinge too small of an angle for the near 70-90 degree view
The glass on the top left corner has abit of flex. not sure why might be the button placement or somewhat.

Overall, if you plan to write alot of notes get an N-Trig Tablet from Lenovo or Microsoft Surface Pro 4.
Lenovo Mixx 510 you just lost out the SD Card function.
But still acceptable.
