I think can use Microsoft Wireless Adapter to connect.
QUOTE(tchau83 @ Jun 21 2016, 10:21 AM) Did you find a way to hook it up to an external monitor? Is the Acer USB-C dock for sale yet? Would be hard to use it as a work machine with such a small screen.  |

Hi Zul_XT,
Can you charge the tablet using USB type C? TQ QUOTE(Zul_XT @ Jun 20 2016, 12:35 PM) I believed its using the Wifi to locate you. It do correctly identify my location either at Home or Office. |

There is a 50% off for a Surface Pro 4 right now on Lazada. But I prefer newer tech like Acer Alpha Switch 12, particularly fanless, USB type C. My phone already uses USB Type C to charge and data transfer so it will be easy to share charger and cable. Plus it will be future proof towards new accessories utilizing the USB type C.
Another thing I consider is the repairability. Is the Acer Alpha Switch 12 easy to be repaired? |

But isn't that the purpose of built in kickstand so you can make it stand without having to hold it like an ipad needs.
QUOTE(kc3832 @ Jul 13 2016, 09:36 PM) 1) It's too heavy as a tablet. I rather use my iPad 2 if I want to read on bed. ... Hope this help!  |

I think that is the point some tablets like Microsoft Surface uses the 3:2 aspect ratio like iPad instead 16:9 which is used by many laptops and great for watching movies.
QUOTE(Zul_XT @ Jul 14 2016, 12:37 PM) When using it as a Tablet, I usually in Portrait mode, so the kick stand not applicable. Since I'm used to have my Xperia Z3 for browsing on the bed before sleep, having the Alpha 12 although its bigger, I found it convenient. I found an apps in the Windows Store that can provide you with gesture support of 2 fingers up to 5 fingers. I found it interesting since its easier to navigate in browser, photo gallery with it. Try look for 'Touch Me Studio', its free for 30 days, and RM21 for the paid version.. |
