    One amazing hinge
    Flip, rotate, or detach in a snap -- the Aspire Switch 11's unique Acer Snap Hinge™ uses the invisible force of magnetism to provide a latch-less docking solution that lets you smoothly snap the tablet and keyboard apart, and back together again.

    Crystal-clear images
    The Full HD display features Zero Air Gap and IPS technology for exceptional detail, superior contrast and greater image sharpness from all angles. LumiFlex™ technology helps to further enhance clarity by boosting brightness when the device is used in bright interiors and sunlight.

    Super-strong glass
    Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 is a sophisticated screen-glass technology that provides superior shock and scratch resistance. This specially treated glass helps to make the display extremely tough, and also significantly reduces scratch visibility.

    Speedy and responsive
    The Aspire Switch 11's impressive 4th generation Intel® Core™ processor has plenty of power to do what you want done now. Fast processing and robust built-in graphics deliver fast-loading and smooth videos, games and browsing, just like you like it.

    Comfortable keyboard and touchpad
    The spacious chiclet keyboard is optimized for comfortable typing and solid tactile feedback. The Precision Touchpad supports six touchpad gestures that are designed to be as smooth as gestures on a touchscreen.

    A pen for your thoughts
    The optional Acer Active Pen adds another dimension to the device’s dynamic productivity features -- facilitating fast, precise input for writing, drawing or just plain doodling. It’s great for everything from annotating documents to making quick notes in your diary.
