Every now and then, laptop manufacturers tend to produce a Surface Pro alternative, some succeeded in creating one however with an expensive price tag, and some created terrible versions of it. The Acer Switch 5 is one of the most impressive Surface Pro alternative we have reviewed, and it doesn't cost a lot to own one.

Nice review! Did you had a chance to see if there was thermal throttling of the CPU?

@alejandro_bme 6 лет назад

You forgot to add the pen uses a AA batery, it is not a usb charged. My brother has one and it works well, although we notice the camera is not that good, overall i think it is a good 2 in 1, affordable. He bought it from Amazon $650.00. good video btw! subscribe!

I want to get a switch 5, do you still recommend it? I 've heard that it has issues with wifi connectivity and also the fingerprint reader..

How is the Switch 5 holding up now? Is there a new model coming soon?

@riccardogaeta6287 4 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video. But is it possible to use the keyboard as a wireless keyboard, I mean, detached from the monitor? Thanks

@jordanhill-fc7nv Год назад

How is the Switch 3 compared to the Switch 5 in terms of price and performance? Btw, real nice to see Malaysia producing such high quality reviews, though the review could have been more thorough and detailed. Keep it up! :)

@klgadgettv 6 лет назад

+MrWeizhi926 The Switch 3 has much lower specs with a Pentium processor. Appreciate the compliment!

@depeesify 6 лет назад

KLGadgetTV sorry for hijacking the main question above. What about design graphic softwares? Sure no doubt with swatch 5, but what about swatch 3? Is it powerful enough?

@Sidewicz 6 лет назад

Halloo - I got one quick question - in every review, and there are not so many of them, it is clearly stated, that there is a problem with brightness, which makes it unusable outside. Maybe this is my perception, but from all pictures and vids I can see it is a problem indeed, as the screen always seems to be too dark. Do you find it annoying in your Switch 5 or you think it is a minor problem? I am asking because I am on the verge of buying either Alpha 12 or Switch 5.

@chromex3336 6 лет назад

Tomasz Piotr Sidewicz which one did you get?

@Sidewicz 6 лет назад

Alpha 12. There was Switch 5 available but only with German QWERTZ keyboard. Normal QWERTY only from USA. I am located in Poland. Alpha 12 is more than OK for my needs.

@chromex3336 6 лет назад

Tomasz Piotr Sidewicz Are you satisfied with it? Thanks for the reply

@As-rs1gg 6 лет назад

How about design graphics on this gadget ? And hpw strong is it for launching some app like photoshop or coreldraw ?

@MyNameIsBucket 6 лет назад

I have the i5 model and I've never noticed any lag loading Photoshop or Premiere. I can even do some light gaming on it.

@As-rs1gg 6 лет назад

MyNameIsBucket thanks for the information. Acer does not launching this product in my country. So I am very doubtful to buy it. Especially about the warranty and the endurance of product

Acer switch 5 with i3 or surface pro with m3? Here in my country I have good deals for both devices. 700 Franken ~ 640 Euros for Surface Pro with Tipe Cover (+75 Franken ~ 66 Euros for the pen) Or Switch 5 for 700 Franken ~ 640 Euros (with keyboard and pen)

@RANDOM-em6bv 5 лет назад

@rubeegeorgealset6412 6 лет назад

is it as good as the surface pro in terms of pen and is it good for artists ????

@klgadgettv 6 лет назад

+rabe3 alsett Yes, the pen writing experience is on par with the one on the Surface Pro

@tombombadilofficial 6 лет назад

KLGadgetTV how so? Did you run tests with it? Whats the pen pressure difference between the two? How does it fare when using photoshop brushes and how does it handle latency issues compared to the sp4?

@wi1395 6 лет назад

@DoubleD72 6 лет назад

I wouldn't take this guys word on that... there is Zero information about the Pens pressure sensitivity where is the newest Surface 2017 version Pen is 4000 pressure sensitivity... also he said this was affordable... this device is 1898 same specs on the surface is 1100...

@edskjops3317 6 лет назад

Does the i5 model run Photoshop and illustrator smoothly?

@klgadgettv 6 лет назад

It shouldn't have any issues with that.

@DoubleD72 6 лет назад

Seriously? I have an i3 and it runs Photoshop and Illustrator as well as Adobe Premiere Pro perfectly... 1080p video that is... not even about to try 4k... sure the processor has a lot to do with performance... but it also is the amount of ram and video card etc... never get a 4 gig's of ram computer... always get at least 8 gig models...

What took you guys so long to make new videos? There are many new stuff coming out and you guys are just not capable to catch up with the world. Please proof that they didn't over pay you.

@klgadgettv 6 лет назад

+Chen Ckc As much as we would love to review those cool latest devices, if the manufacturers don't provide us one, we can't make videos on them too, and we sometimes struggle financially to fund our devices.

@DoubleD72 6 лет назад

hahaha for a minute there I thought he said Affordable... just checked current prices Acer is $1898 for the same spec Surface 2017 version is $1100... Not sure what this guys version of Affordable is but he clearly needs to go back to school...
