Acer Switch 7 SW713-51GNP-879G Price (18 Mar 2023) Specification & Reviews । Acer Laptops

I love this tablet/laptop. I’m giving this 5 stars because it’s pretty much meeting all of my needs. The battery life does seem to be a bad, but I don’t need to worry so much about that for my uses. Others may disagree. If battery life is important I’d probably get a less powerful device.

Low on Fanfare, High on Quality and Features

The Switch 7 launched with little fanfare last year and was quickly overshadowed by the Surface 6 and the new Yogas. However, this is the best laptop/hybrid I’ve ever owned. It’s the only high-powered tablet to use Wacom EMR, making it dream come true for fine artists and Zbrush sculptors. Despite notebookcheck’s tests, it’s also the only tablet or laptop within its class not to use pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim the backlight, which means you can stare at the screen for extended periods of time with little to no eyestrain. Acer eliminated PWM in its latest offerings, specifically the Switch 5 and 7. With Acer’s liquid cooling, the Switch 7 never gets loud or hot. I owned the Yoga C930 for one week, and could not believe how hot and noisey it got, even while idling. It could have doubled as a space heater and stove. I use the Switch 7 for writing and 3D sculpting and animating, primarily in Maya and Zbrush. Never once has it become annoyingly loud or hot. That said, I can’t testify to its performance during heavy gaming.This thing cost me a small fortune, but I coudn’t be more pleased with my purchase.UPDATE: So after putting the Switch 7 through some heavy use over the last few weeks, I still stand by my initial glowing review, although I will echo the criticism about the battery life leveled by almost every reviewer. It is definitely sub par. If remaining unplugged is a major priority, this is definitely not the machine for you. Hopefully, Acer will consider placing a battery in the keyboard for the next generation, and not resort to eyeball-busting PWM to conserve power. Nevertheless, I believe the battery life is a minor sacrifice for all the other features the Switch 7 offers.
