This is a basic laptop (at a cheap price!) for basic internet and multimedia stuff (not for videogames though). For its category, it has a surprisingly high amount of disk space. 

Key characteristics

Other characteristics

• Networking; Realtek PCI-E Fast Ethernet + Wi-Fi b/g/n w/Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Card (usually everything you need for Wi-Fi & browsing - of course, it doesn't reach top internet speed as it is limited to 100 Mbit/s)

• Ports: USB 3.0, 2xUSB 2.0, HDMI, Audio, Ethernet (pretty good selection of ports)

• Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64bit (pretty standard; this laptop has enough memory to run the 64bit version)

• Weight; 2.16kg (slightly on the upper end considering it's a netbook, but still ok)

Other characteristics

Reviews on other sites

This model got excellent reviews on Notebook-center.ru with 5 out of 5 stars. Many platforms don't show any reviews yet (e.g. Amazon) simply because it's a very new device.

Pros:

• Big storage space for netbook standards
• Great price/performance ratio

Contras:

• None

Conclusion

Silent and inexpensive, this small 10" 2-in-1 convertible from Acer offers an impressive display that in combination with its integrated Intel HD Graphics GPU makes it a great choice for video streaming and internet browsing. The Acer Aspire Switch One has a relatively huge 8200 mAh, meaning a long battery life in "tablet mode", giving the user a whopping ~10 hours of Netflix/YouTube Streaming. Being an inexpensive cloudbook "Power Users" and "Gamers" will not find this PC interesting at all. The Intel Atom processor is too underpowered for anything but internet and very basic office related stuff.

Other characteristics

• Networking; Realtek RTL8723BE Wi-Fi b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 (supports only the older Wi-Fi n standard (54MBPs)

• Ports: 2xUSB 2.0, HDMI, microSD Card Reader, 3.5mm audio

• Operating system: Windows 10 Home 32bit

• Camera: 2MPx

• Weight; 1.26kg

(Typical) user groups

The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:

• The multimedia "Road Warrior" on a budget, with its good speakers & Intel Quicksync Video Encoder/Decoder, this system is great for music and video streaming...

Gaming Benchmarks:

• Bioshock Infinite: (Unplayable)
• Battlefield 4: (Unplayable)
• Rise of the Tomb Raider: (Unplayable)

Reviews on other sites

With an overall rating of 78% on Notebookcheck.net, this computer has a good rating.

Pros:

• Bright and high contrast IPS Touchscreen,
