QUOTE(ryuzaki_L @ Dec 27 2016, 10:41 PM) At the end didn't buy Acer and go with Lenovo Miix 510 instead. Couldn't find a better in LYP. battery life how? Either the i5 version is sold out or the price is not competitive. Therefore got the Lenovo with RM3300 for i5/256 ssd/8gb ram with 2 years warranty, lenovo active pen and back lit keyboard.  |

QUOTE(rafistrght @ Apr 25 2017, 11:41 PM) Hi all Sifus, I think it is better you try "drawing" one screen if there's any glitch zone. Because my first unit has a broken digitizer. Bought my i5 in last November. So far I'm okay but Recently I have experience the followings issues:- 1. Screen doesn't respond to touch/swipe sometimes when I'm in tablet mode. Occasionally I need to use my stylus to touch on the screen again before it can detect my touch. Otherwise, whether I was swiping left, right, up or down also it all don't seem to work. 2. Whenever I am searching for something via google search, the keyboard will just disappear after typing in the first alphabet. I need to manually touch the 'keyboard' icon at the lower right section of my screen to bring it out again, it is very annoying tho. Anyone experience the same thing? Can help?  Anyhow my second unit, the left speaker died on me, waiting for 3rd replacement unit at Highpoint. I'm surprised your stylus haven't died on yet, I replaced 6 batteries, because I'm a frequent user as a student... You used the on screen keyboard often? I find it to be very glitchy as it doesn't register keys into the search box at times. Windows problem most likely. |

QUOTE(rafistrght @ Apr 27 2017, 12:20 AM) Thanks for the reply! Define "tablet mode", where you only detach your keyboard, where the automatic "Windows settings" will switch to "Tablet Mode", (there's a setting at the charm/notification's setting menu. Anyway pardon me but what do you mean by 'drawing' the screen? And for the 'glitch zone', are you referring to the unresponsive touch screen? Just to give you a clearer picture, everything is okay when I'm using the laptop mode (with the keyboard attached and a bluetooth mouse connected). But the screen starts to be unresponsive whenever I switched to Tablet mode (keyboard detached with no mouse). As I swipe on the screen, I can see there's a line following the swiping gesture/ direction, but it is just not following or responding to my swipe and touch. Based on that, is it still considered a 'glitch zone'? So far my speaker is doing good. My stylus and on-screen keyboard are fine as well because I'm always on Laptop mode. Only once in a blue moon I'll work on Tablet mode and when I do, I'll experience all the above. Or you already disabled the "Tablet Mode" setting in the charms/notification menu, and when you disable the keyboard you are still using "Desktop Mode"? Because I always find that "Tablet Mode" offered by Windows was quite annoying because I have tons of .exe application running. And running that I lost all my icon in the Start Bar. Off Topic, just sent in my tablet into RMA today. They don't want to replace my whole unit  |

QUOTE(chaosneo @ Apr 28 2017, 10:19 AM) New product joining Acer Switch Lineup, Acer Switch 3 and Acer Switch 5. Don't keep your hopes up for "Backlit Keyboard" https://www.lowyat.net/2017/130383/acer-int...chable-laptops/ so far, what we know... - no price yet. - available June 2017 - kickstand is now auto-retractable when the device is lifted up. - integrated fingerprint sensor on the power button. Acer Switch 3 - no liquid cooling - either Intel Pentium or Celeron processors. - 1920 x 1200 display - no backlit keyboard Acer Switch 5 - liquid cooling. - Intel Core i5 or i7 possible. - 12-inch 2160 x 1440 display. - backlit keyboard. Our Malaysian model doesn't even have it. Their Stylus Quality was disappointing enough... This post has been edited by iSean: Apr 28 2017, 10:55 AM |

QUOTE(hanissyazwan @ Apr 30 2017, 06:33 AM) Guys. Where to buy silicone case or good case for switch alpha?? Anyone can point a website?? I am thinking want to buy with local seller. More easy and faster... untung kao kao. There's no Silicon case. Im a new user. Bought a second hand unit. Starting date sticker mention under the stand hinge jan 2017. Feel lucky coz first owner just use for 3month only. And sell to me rm1900. Its 256ssd 8gb ram. Do check with the battery life, because this thing can't last more than 4 hours on Max brightness. Silicon case I don't think it exists, the corners will suffer a lot of scratches to be honest with you. And belakang will easily dent... This post has been edited by iSean: Apr 30 2017, 11:28 AM |

QUOTE(black_orphen @ Apr 30 2017, 07:07 PM) Now I understand why the current name is Switch Alpha 12. Nope, unless I extend my warranty and my device keep failing until the 3rd year and they have to replace me a new one@iSean Do you plan to buy one of these?  I have little confidence in Acer that they will change with their build quality. Because I have to send my Switch Alpha 12 to repair for 4-6 times, the battery life only 4 hours max instead of 8 hours claim, stylus also kind of lousy for writing, on Max screen brightness also outdoor can't see  I think I rather save up wait for next Gen touch screen Macbook, if not iPad Pro + Apple Pencil liao.

QUOTE(black_orphen @ May 1 2017, 04:48 PM) How about the Asus Transformer 3 Pro? Is it better than this Acer Switch Alpha 12? Do you have any info about that? That one goodie but Macbook Pro Price. But no stock in Malaysia. Btw, I went to Low Yat Plaza today to claim back my unit, they fixed the speaker, but Acer HD Audio Manager, no more Acer TrueHarmony Software, then checked again they bricked my "Rotation Lock" and "Auto Rotate"   Bapak betuk Saw Lenovo Miix 510 not bad. Stylus is Wacom, not some random third party ELAN stylus atleast... I will surely buy extension warranty liao zzz This post has been edited by iSean: May 1 2017, 09:16 PM |

QUOTE(black_orphen @ May 1 2017, 10:19 PM) Problematic hinge? Any specific bad issue about the hinge? Any info? Is it not durable enough? Dunno my Switch Alpha 12 battery lasted me 3-4 hours instead of proclaimed 8 hours, and I just surf the internet only and use Office Suite only. For the i5 8GB 256GB, the transformer 3 pro price is RM ~4700. I think still cheaper than macbook pro... About lenovo miix 510, i have tried it. The pen is very nice an precise. But bit felt uncomfortable with the type cover. Btw, in term of battery life...which one better? Lenovo miix or this alpha switch? If student I will highly recommend Mix if stylus use. Hinge not durable enough is common, because it is Surface style one without the "Wristband hinge" sadly. you can push it down with ease if you writing like tablet. Common issue with these type of hybrid. This post has been edited by iSean: May 2 2017, 12:12 AM |
