Although it comes with dedicated graphics, it’s not a device for gaming. Instead, it’s a 2-in-1 designed for productivity. In the Switch 7 Black Edition 13.5-inch (2256×1504 pixels) 2-in-1 you’ll find an Intel eighth-generation Core i7 processor with discrete Nvidia GeFroce MX150 graphics and Acer’s Dual Liquid Loop cooling technology, which is what allows a fanless design. Unlike the Surface Pro, the Switch 7 comes with a battery-free Wacom stylus that has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt support, and you can even store the pen inside the device. As most computers today, Acer’s newest 2-in-1 comes with a fingerprint sensor in the keyboard with support for Windows Hello. Pricing starts at $1699 in the United States, and it’s expected to be available in December.
