Acer Aspire Switch 11V SW5-173-614T Convertible Review

Rarity. The conventional hard drive in the dock makes Acer unique in the market. However, other features are disappointing, and thus, a list of controversial pros and cons evolve. Is it a master of its category or leading a lost battle?
Bigger and faster, but also better? Acer Aspire Switch 11V.
Bigger and faster, but also better? Acer Aspire Switch 11V.

For the original German review, see here.

A new take! A year ago, in late 2014, we tested the Aspire Switch 11 Pro with a 128 GB SSD + hard drive in the keyboard unit extensively. The 11.6-inch device presented an exquisite configuration from a technical point of view: FHD screen (IPS), genuine SSD, Core i5, keyboard and hard drive - the bundle primarily appealed to buyers who mainly use their convertibles for professional purposes. They need a decent keyboard, a very good screen, at least moderate computing power, and plenty of storage if possible.

Our verdict concerning the Switch 11 Pro at the time: A successful bundle composed of (fanless) performance, very good screen (digitizer display including stylus), and practical connectivity. The drawback was the build quality for the 900 Euros (~$994) price range; we were not happy with the stability, feel and feedback of the chassis and input devices.

Now Acer is going into the second round with the Aspire Switch 11V SW5-172-614T. The FHD IPS TFT remains, but the digitizer pen has been omitted, and the entirely reworked chassis is now based on the Broadwell Core M (also fanless). Can Acer uphold the old virtues while eliminating the drawbacks? Find out in this review update.

Case

The precursor: Switch 11 Pro from late 2014 - many modifications in details.
The precursor: Switch 11 Pro from late 2014 - many modifications in details.

The tablet's body is made of metal and plastic, which gives a very robust and stable impression. Thanks to the brushed aluminum on the back, the feel is cool and high quality. The lid is  patterned with a rather sleek plastic edge that conceals the radio antennas.

Although the base is made of plastic,  it is decently stable and robust but sounds slightly hollow. The hard drive is installed here, and a USB 3.0 port supplements the tablet's downscaled interfaces. Unfortunately, the dock does not have a power socket.

Acer uses a new version of the click-in hinge. The basic concept of the magnetically supported mount without a locking lever is the same as in the former Switch 11 Pro of late 2014. However, the tablet is now located deeper into the hinge and thus has more support. This solution without a locking lever has a disadvantage: During the test, the tablet accidentally fell out of the dock 2 - 3 times while picking it up for changing our location. This can be a catastrophe when the tablet shatters if it falls to the floor from a height of 1.5 meters (~5 ft). The user will have to be careful.

The dock does not fall off when the only tablet is lifted. The magnetic connection is strong, though not powerful enough for all cases of gravity.

Connectivity

While the old Switch 11 Pro was thicker and the tablet unit featured a full-sized USB 3.0 port Type A, Acer has downscales downscaled the latter to micro USB (sleep and charge), and installs installed a USB 3.0 Type A in the dock. Otherwise, Tthe ports are otherwise identical, including the microSD MicroSD reader.

Intel's Wireless-AC 7265 now transmits in dual-band (formerly Atheros AR5BWB22 b/g/n), but falls short of the 40 40-meter (~131 ft) point in the manual test outside the building. Approximately 50 % of our review samples accomplish that, and only a few transmit beyond that point.

Both webcams produce even worse pictures than the Facing camera of the Switch 11 Pro. Acer has now installs installed a 2.0 0-megapixel rear-facing camera that does not shine with great photos, but rather with blurry outlines and intense noise especially in low light. Too bad: in many cases, users will be better served with their smartphone cameras in many cases.

The FHD IPS screen has not been changed, but some differences are found in detail. The panel now comes from AUO (AUO305D B116HAN03) rather than Chi Mei Innolux (CMN1133). The extremely high brightness clearly increases its usefulness. The screen is not only brighter than that of the Switch 11 Pro, the contrast of 1349:1 has also increased considerably. This results in crisp colors alongside first-rate viewing angles - there is no cause for complaining here.

* ... smaller is better

Naturally, we found something: DeltaE is now worse. This rate indicates just how accurate the colors are compared to the sRGB reference. Classic poor DeltaE rates are roughly 12, very good ones < 3. The Switch 11 settles at a satisfactory position. The TFT reproduces only 46% of the AdobeRGB space, and thus the screen is roughly on par with all comparison convertibles in the chart. However, the sRGB and AdobeRGB standards are only important for professional image editors. Although the Switch 11V will strike the user's eye when the TFT is not calibrated, it does not exhibit a bluish tint that is common in many laptops. Rather, the opposite is true; the colors shift to warmer tones.

The PWM assessment responded. The AUO panel thus utilizes the pulse width modulation for dimming the LEDs in every brightness level - except maximum. The LEDs are switched on and off at an extremely fast speed. The IPS screen's response times are very different with 4/20 milliseconds (rise/fall - black/white) and 21/17 (gray 80/50). Rise is above average (@ black/white), fall is on the average level for IPS/TN displays.

Performance

An old acquaintance in form of Intel's Core M 5Y10c is inside the slim tablet. The 4.5-watt SoC (Broadwell) debuted at the IFA 2014, and was installed in the Aspire Switch 12 and Lenovo Yoga 3 11 among other devices later. It is the most frugal Broadwell core that has been developed for tablets and especially slim, fanless form factors. Alongside the internal Intel HD Graphics 5300 graphics card and a fast storage device, it has enough power for Windows 10, office tasks or entertainment. However, more demanding calculations should not be expected from the SoC; the waiting times are simply much longer than laptops based on a 15-watt ULV SoC or 37-watt standard mobile processor. Users who deal with real-time audio recording will prick their ears upon hearing latencies. LatencyMon discovered some.

Cinebench R15 multi start 1.8 & avg. 1.6 GHz

The performance ranges roughly on the level of the Haswell 4202Y (11 watts), but has a lower TDP (max. 6 watts). The charts show that the Transformer Book T300 Chi with a 5Y71 has a clear edge on the review sample. This might be due to a higher base clock of 1.2 GHz (vs. 800 MHz) or a higher configured TDP in the Asus.

Manufacturers can configure the TDP according to the form factor and cooling options. 3.5 to 6 watts are possible. We are curious as to what Asus has made possible here. Initially, the processor performed the multi-CPU test of Cinebench R15 at 1.7 to 1.8 GHz, but then calculated stably at 1.6 GHz. That was regardless of whether the system ran in AC or battery mode, both the clock rate and the resulting scores remained identical. The bars clearly show the inferiority of a Celeron N3050 (TDP: 6 watts) as used, for example, in the low-cost model Aspire R11 R3-131T.

System Performance

Two PCMarks summarize the application performance. Although the 7 version benefits from the fast SSD, it cannot outperform the somewhat higher computing power of the Transformer Book T300 Chi. However, the Transformer Book T300FA is defeated. PCMark 8 sees the T300FA-FE001H in the lead, but a fast SanDisk SSD i110 is installed here. Disregarding the Celeron or Atom powered convertibles, the performance of the Core M systems are close together. Therefore, potential buyers should not care too much about which Core M model is a few percent faster, but rather look at criteria like screen, battery life or input devices.

The LiteOn SSD (L8H-128V2G) and Western Digital HDD (WD5000LPVX-22V0TT0) result in an effective pair in terms of speed and storage capacity. Roughly, 552 GB is available on both storage devices in total at the state of delivery. The HDD can be replaced since it is situated inside the dock that can be opened after releasing some screws. The WD5000LPVX (WD Blue Mobile) with a height of 7 mm (~0.27 in) is connected to SATA 6 GB/s via USB 3.0 controller in the dock. This leads to fast read/write rates. 118 MB/s in read/write are extremely fast for a simple 5400-rpm model. That was very different in the Switch 11 Pro: The HDD achieved only 33 MB/s in the same test. Consequently, files can be moved between both internal storage devices quickly, and programs are loaded from the HDD at the speed that we are used to from laptops.

The LiteOn L8T-128L9G (128 GB) cannot be exchanged. It is not quite as good as the 128 GB SATA SSD in the former Switch 11 Pro, but it can easily outrun the other competitors with an eMMC. Apart from the Transformer Book T300FA, all rivals have been configured with the low-cost, yet slow eMMCs. Choosing a genuine SSD is a big plus point for the former and the new Switch 11.

Graphics Card

Intel's HD Graphics 5300 graphics card is no guarantee for gaming power or the best OpenGL support. Quite the contrary: The performance has even decreased compared with the Switch 11 Pro (Haswell). As mentioned before, it also involves a considerably lower TDP (approx. 4.5 vs. 11 watts). The 3DMark benchmarks show - on a very low level - that the HD Graphics 5300 is not at all the weakest computing unit. It allows smooth gameplay in lowest details. A ThinkPad Yoga 11e (Celeron) is easily outperformed the same as the Transformer Book, which might be due to the dual-channel memory. The HD Graphics benefits from that.

Emissions

A noiseless system - though not quite, since a hard drive is in the dock. However, it is quickly disabled when not in use, and the system is then really noiseless. We measured 31.9 dB(A) at a distance of 15 centimeters (~6 in) when the 5400 rpm drive spins, which is the base noise of the storage device. The very subtly clacking read and write heads only produce 32.2 dB(A).

Temperature

The fanless tablet discharges the SoC's waste heat over its surfaces. As expected, this functions without any problems in idle mode. The tablet does not even get lukewarm, and the temperatures do not exceed 30 degrees Celsius (~86 degrees Fahrenheit) anywhere. Under load during Prime95 and FurMark stress test, the hot spots generate temperatures of about 40 degrees Celsius (~104 degrees Fahrenheit) on the casing's left. The rear is affected the most, probably because the aluminum is used for discharging the heat.

The HD Graphics 5300 (300  to 800 MHz) clocks at 450 to 500 MHz in the stress test. This is rather at the lower end of its potential, and is caused by the processing load of the CPU core. The latter clocks at 900 to 1000 MHz, which is also clearly below its potential of a maximum of 2 GHz. However, our stress test simulates a consistent load of both graphics card and processor over a prolonged period of at least one hour. The temperatures on the chip never got critical; the sensors recorded 60 degrees Celsius (~140 degrees Fahrenheit). Has Acer perhaps been too conservative with the temperature tables? Not at all. After all, we are dealing with a 9 mm (~0.35 in) slim tablet, and we would not like to hold it in our hands with a casing temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (~122 degrees Fahrenheit).

(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.1 °C / 82.6 F (-6.1 °C / -11 F).

Speakers

The speakers are situated unobtrusively on the tablet's lower edge. They are not covered when in the dock. Their sound is strong and loud, but not inevitably pleasing. It will be sufficient for background music when working at the desk, but they emphasize the mids. The trebles and low ranges are not differentiated. Good: The small membranes do not scratch at maximum volume and render everything impeccably as far as their modest possibilities allow. Overall, the sound makes a rounded impression for a tablet of small dimensions without a subwoofer.

Power Consumption

We added a detailed overview of the power consumption in the category comparison. The Switch 11V does not do as good a job as expected: We measured 6.5 to 10 watts while idling with the keyboard dock connected (HDD off). This is considerably more than its precursor or even its rivals consume. This does not change significantly without the dock. The power requirement very rarely drops to just below four watts. The reason for the high idle consumption is not the screen's brightness that cannot be dimmed down as far as in the competition. The circuit analyzer still displayed the mentioned idle rates when we had completely disabled the TFT's light via the dedicated function key (idle min. 6.2 watts). The extreme power savers among convertibles are the low-cost Bay Trail systems, such as the Switch 10E or Satellite Click Mini. They are also satisfied with lower battery capacities.

Battery Runtime

The Switch 10E SW3-013 achieved 390 minutes with its 28.7 Wh lithium polymer battery in the Wi-Fi test. Our Switch 11V needs 34 Wh for 302 minutes. However, buyers looking for a similar performance class with better runtimes will not find anything in this convertible category. Neither the Transformer Book T300 Chi nor the T300FA significantly exceed 300 minutes. The weaker Atom convertibles from the low-cost sector for newcomers reach runtimes of up to 680 minutes in the real world Wi-Fi test. Acer's Aspire R11 R3-131T is right up front here. Switch 11V owners can only dream of this battery life since Acer has unfortunately not utilized the option of an additional battery in the dock.

Verdict

A total rating of 76% does not seem to point to a premium convertible; the older Switch 11 Pro (128 GB + HDD dock) achieved the same rating. Rivals like Asus' Transformer Book T300 Chi convertible hold tight to a rating of 83% and block the top lists. By the way, the Top 10 convertibles currently range from 83 to 85%.

However, quite a lot has been modified, although not enough. The casing is now sturdier, of higher quality and slimmer. The screen is considerably brighter and has a higher contrast. Unfortunately, the keyboard is not really better, and using the touchpad is rather painstaking than zestful. Acer has equipped its 11-inch device with a rear-facing camera, but unfortunately, the photos are virtually useless. The hard drive in the dock has been clearly accelerated via USB 3.0, but regrettably Acer does not use the available room for additional ports, such as a second USB Type A or a standard SD card reader.

The computing power of the Core M is decent and creates a work-suitable system as well as the fast SSD. The Celeron or Atom newcomers for 300 to 500 Euros (~$331 to ~$552) cannot compete with that.

Potential buyers will discover that despite this apparently low rating, a convertible from this performance category with a good FHD IPS screen, USB Type A and hard drive in the dock is not found in any rival. Asus' Transformer Book T300CHI is certainly the hottest competitor that is available starting at 715 Euros (~$790) in the FHD version. The WQHD version costs almost 950 Euros (~$1049). The T300CHI features an outstanding, extremely thin casing (7.6 mm!/~0.3 in), and both its keyboard and touchpad are better. However, its keyboard dock does not provide additional features (no hard drive) or ports; USB Type A like in Acer's review sample is not installed.
