The Switch Alpha 12 is one of Acer's newer 2-in-1 offerings, and a premium option at that. Priced at R15 000, it is still a few niggles away from perfection.
PROS
Premium materials, design and feel; Superb screen quality; Solid multitasking perfomance
CONS
Heavy as a tablet; Slightly subpar battery life
VERDICT
The Alpha 12 ticks many important boxes. It's well made from high quality materials, making it feel equally premium. The 2-in-1 notebook also features a sumptuous display up front, great for work and home. Added to this is a range of solid specifications that delivers speedy and unerring performance, along with staying very cool under heavy use thanks to Acer's Heat Pipe cooling system.
