With Computex 2016 just around the corner, the big laptop manufacturers are pulling out all the stops to get their latest laptops/chromebooks out in time to showcase them at the event.
The Acer Switch One 10 and Switch V 10 both feature quad-core Intel Atom processors, multi-touch 10-inch IPS displays and precision touchpads that support Windows 10 gestures. Both transform effortlessly from a traditional laptop to a tablet and into what Acer calls ‘Tent and Display’ configurations for watching videos and giving presentations, respectively.
The Switch One 10 in dark metallic grey is the more entry-level of the two models, capable of the sort of basic functions you’d expect from a 2-in-1. It’ll be priced at USD$199 when it goes on sale in July.
The Switch V 10 will come in a choice of five colors – white, black, red, blue and dark blue – with other features including a USB Type-C port and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Its screen is coated with a layer of antimicrobial Gorilla Glass from Corning and there’s even a built-in fingerprint reader that can be used to log into the machine via Windows Hello.
Acer is offering the 2-in-1 with your chocie of 32GB or 64GB of local storage. The company mentioned the possibility of pairing the Switch V 10 with a keyboard dock for an additional 500GB of storage and two extra USB ports or a smaller keyboard dock for improved portability. This model will be priced at USD$249 and will be available in the US in the 3rd quarter.
