Well it should be an "OK" device la.
Hopefully it isn't a lemon unit like mine.

after i tried for 1 week, the only complain was the power button
why have to press so many second to back from sleep

if im not mistaken, someone in this thread mentioned that for the new batches,
even the i3 models come with backlit keyboard

from sleep, just need to press once.

from shutdown (off), need to press 5 seconds

weird
i tried many times, but still have to press 5 seconds


then maybe the reseller still having old stock

where do you get the unit?

danga city mall johor bahru, but i didnt remember shop name

I believed the first batch don't have a Backlit Keyboard. I bought the Switch Alpha i7 version last June 2016 because of the backlit keyboard, but after unbox, not! Call Acer, the tech said Malaysian version does not. The Catalogue does not state anything about the Backlit Keyboard is only on certain region. Feels cheated, but so far after 1 n half year no issue.

I did replace the LCD screen though due to I accidentally dropped the Switch while it still in the bag, bang the corners, got crack from the side towards the Camera lens. Cost of replacement RM800 at Highpoint USJ.
huhu

I should be grateful because my bag always dropped off from the chair. :S
No damaged but dent lah, I did used a padded pouch.

But then my charger is now fucked up
Then I need to twist it at certain angles to make it work.
So I've order an Acer original charger off Taobao for RM 28+ RM 4.50 international shipping.
Coming soon around these few days, hopefully it works, and doesn't kill my Switch Alpha 12, after some time :S

It has the Acer Logo on the charger, I suppose for their older series laptops and not manufactured by the Company 群光電能科技股份有限公司 for the original model [A13-045N2A]。

Personally I have issues with Adobe Photoshop, if you want to draw, I guess you go get the Lenovo Miix 5XX/7XX series.
Because for some unknown reasons my units are a lot of GUI delays. [Using Adobe Photoshop CC on Trial Reset].

Also the stylus isn't really accurate.

Im looking for something to edit the RAW images from my camera when traveling

Not the suitable device.

I work in an creative agency and among the many Macs here, I have a Surface while others have the Acer Switch, Lenovo Mixx and Dell Venue, etc.
I think for the price, the Switch isnt too bad. The best is still the Surface, of course. Microsoft has really perfected the pen + screen combo, imo.

?Do you encounter GUI and Graphics delays when panning in and out ?

Yup, slightly for my Surface, but not super irritating. I think its due to the integrated graphics. All the others i mentioned (Acer and Lenovo) also get the same with the worst being from the Venue Pro.

Considering the price for a Wacom tablet + PC with GPU combo, this is a small tradeoff, tbh

If anyone intend to replace your broken Acer Switch Alpha 12 charger, can try purchasing Lite-On Technology's Model PA-1450-26.
< 500g

I've replaced mine for <RM 40
I was quoted RM 100 by the people over at Acer AMA tho :/

You can also get a compatible USB-C charger (more convenient I think)

Given one USB Type-C and one USB 3.0 are the provided ports by the Switch Alpha 12, rather use their provided charger than brick a Type C port.

my self have been using an USB C Charger bought from ebay. It replaced the big power brick with the power cable.
Have been using this charger for almost 6 months..

so far no issue...
