Hands on: Acer Switch 7 Black Edition review

If there’s one underlying theme of IFA 2017 in the laptop space, it’s that it seems every machine and their mother is getting a discrete GPU. The Acer Switch 7 Black Edition might appear to be just another Windows 10 device that’s got a discrete GPU upgrade, but it arguably makes the best use of its new found graphical prowess.

With a stowable stylus and a completely silent liquid-cooling system, you’ll have more reasons to use that discrete GPU than on other laptops, and it’ll run completely quiet too. Acer’s latest tablet distinguishes itself in plenty of ways with a larger 13.5-inch screen, conveniently designed kickstand and more. The only thing you’ll mull over is its high $1,699 (about £1,320, AU$2,150) price.
