You can put the Acer Aspire Switch 10’s screen on back or front-forward.Ĭonsequently, you can arrange the Switch 10 much like a laptop, or flip the screen around to use the keyboard part as a display mount of sorts. This makes it easy for Acer to make a two-way mechanism. Rather than relying solely on a click-in mechanical hinge, it uses plastic braces and magnets. It’s the style of the hinge that makes the Switch 10 somewhat unusual. You get a keyboard part and a tablet or screen part, and the latter has a 10.1-inch display. It’s not too far off the popular Asus Transformer Book T100 in design terms. The Acer Aspire Switch 10 looks a lot like any other convertible tablet.
