Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this 2n1 a few weeks ago because I needed something more portable than my aging laptop. It initially was much smaller than I expected. I'm just now reviewing this as I wanted to get some hours on the machine first. First off, the packaging is clean and well thought out. The tablet is the first thing out of the box, wrapped in plastic. After that there is a cardboard flap that pulls out to reveal the keyboard attachment. It is wrapped in a synthetic clothe. Finally, the charger and Office activation pamphlet are under the keyboard, accessed by pulling out the cardboard under the keyboard. In other words, this thing comes tightly packaged in a nice small box. Setup was quick and easy. It doesn't come with a whole lot of bloatware (to my surprise). Just Acer pc management programs and their own set of productivity tools. I promptly uninstalled all of the included programs. Acer also includes quite a few browser bookmarks on the desktop. As for actual usage, this thing will happily run Chrome with a few tabs running, and will actually play light games (and to my own amusement, Minecraft is playable with optifine installed and set up right). This tablet is no monster, but it is definitely no slouch, either. So far it has been issue free with one exception. Occasionally it would refuse to come out of sleep. It would require a hard reboot and holding the power and down buttons simultaneously to turn off. However, I believe I fixed this issue. Acer released a new BIOS for the Switch and after installing the update I have not had the problem. If you want something that's small and portable, yet can still function as a laptop and isn't as slow as the dreadful netbooks of the past, this is a strong choice. Because of its size, the keyboard is a little cramped, but it's nothing that you can't get used to. All in all, so far this has been a solid choice for me. I may or may not have gone trigger-happy taking pictures of it!
