Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 Offers Well-Designed Budget-Conscious Laptop/Tablet Hybrid

If Microsoft’s Surface Pro is just out of your budget or needs, or you’re simply looking for efficient laptops under £300, the new Acer Aspire Switch Alpha 12 offers a good-for-basic-use, liquid-cooled Laptop hybrid that may suit you.
