That’s quite a lot of money for a Acer device. The Full HD Acer Aspire Switch 11 SW5-171 is more powerful than the HD version, but it’s just $150 away from a Surface Pro 3, which is a much better device altogether.
The HD version Acer Aspire Switch 11 SW5-111 however is more a competitor to the recently released Asus Transformer Book T200, a 2-in-1 tablet that have been give top scores from it’s customers so far. It has a longer battery life, twice the RAM, with a more powerful 1.46 GHz Intel Z3775 processor. And it has near infinite storage with the exchangeable/removable HDD underneath the keyboard.
