If you’re looking for a budget-friendly laptop for school or just a decent machine in general, you might want to check out the Acer Switch One 10.
This thing offers decent features for the price. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles that other Acer laptops have, but it can pretty much handle all your word documents and online tasks.
The device attaches to a keyboard dock when you need it to be a laptop. You can also ditch the accessory and use it as a tablet for when you’re on the go. Hence, all of the hardware are caged behind the 10.1-inch IPS screen with 1280 x 800 resolution.
The Acer Switch One 10 also comes with a micro HDMI port so you can do presentations on a large screen with the help of an adaptor. There’s also a pretty beefy 31.2Wh 8200mAh battery which can hopefully last you a day.
Under the hood, there’s an Intel Atom X5-Z8350 quad-core processor with 2GB DDR3L RAM. There’s also an integrated Intel HD Graphics but you don’t want to rely on it for gaming. It can also be configured with a 32GB eMMC storage plus a 500GB hard disk drive.
