Acer Aspire Switch 12 S, the new two-in-one presented at CES

These days CES 2016 is being held in Las Vegas, a technology fair of great importance for the sector. And today we know the Acer Aspire Switch 12 S, a new two-in-one presented at CES that aims at the highest range. A device willing to compete in lightness, performance and finishes with any rival that comes its way.

The truth is that the Acer Aspire Switch 12 S is committed to a very careful metallic design, and brings new features such as the magnetic connector that joins the part of the tablet with the keyboard. Not only is it comfortable to use, but it allows the ports to reach high speed. In addition, Acer has designed the ExoAmp antenna to improve Wi-Fi coverage at all times.

The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass, and the USB Type-C port reaches speeds of 40 Gbps. The panel is a 4K resolution, but the processor stays on a sixth-generation Intel Core M. It is a processor with adequate power, but it sacrifices part of its performance to improve the autonomy of the two-in-one laptop.

Thanks to its removable screen, it can be used in 4 modes: laptop, tablet, screen and tent. The Acer Aspire Switch 12 S is a premium product, with a very careful design.
