Product details

The Acer Aspire Switch 5 is the right choice for users looking for a device with excellent mobility, generous performance, and very flexible application options. Thanks to its integrated stand and the included keyboard cover, you can use it as a handy tablet or a productive notebook depending on the situation. The chassis features a built-in stand that allows for a very flexible angle of inclination. This way, you can use the tablet slightly tilted for comfortable operation with a stylus or fully upright in notebook mode or for multimedia applications. Beneath the sleek metal body lies a seventh-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which can adjust its clock speed according to the workload thanks to Intel Burst technology, striking the right balance between energy consumption and performance. This results in an impressive battery life of up to 10.5 hours. Together with the integrated graphics unit and 8 GB of RAM, it handles demanding graphics and multimedia applications with ease. The high-resolution 12" touch display with an IPS panel takes care of the visuals and supports highly precise inputs via an active stylus (included). Thanks to the WLAN module with 802.11ac standard, connecting to local wireless networks is straightforward and fast. You can also exchange data directly with other mobile devices via Bluetooth 4.0. For peripherals and storage media, you can use the two USB 3.0 ports, one of which is in the new Type C form factor. The MicroSD card reader can be used, for example, for storage expansion or to import recordings from digital cameras. Whether for video calls or great photos on the go – with a 2-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel rear camera, you have the right solution for every situation.
