Acer Switch 5 Review – Convertible Tablet with Liquid Cooling

Acer Switch 5 Battery Life

Acer has gifted its Switch 5 tablet with a non-removable 39Wh lithium ion battery sporting a chargeable capacity of around 37370mWh. We managed to get around 454 minutes out of a light load with screen brightness set as close as possible to 120cd/m2, meaning the Switch 5 will last just enough to get through the average work day if you’re not too demanding.

Running a heavier load to simulate (very) casual 3D gaming, battery life dropped to around 130 minutes, which again is slightly lower than some of its more expensive competitors. Overall we would say this little Acer’s stamina is pretty average.

Acer Switch 5 System Performance – 3DMark and Cinebench R15

As you would expect, the graphics scores from the integrated Intel HD 620 chip drag down the overall score.

Acer Switch 5 Gaming – Rise of the Tomb Raider

That goes double for gaming, where even at low resolutions the HD 620 simply cannot provide a playable experience in remotely demanding titles – not that a convertible tablet like the Switch 5 usually excels at this kind of thing. Bring on the Intel CPUs with integrated Radeon graphics, we say!

Acer Switch 5 Storage Benchmarks – ASSD and Crystaldiskmark

Pretty decent performance from the 256GB SSD (especially on the writes), as expected from the Intel brand.

  1. Why would any tech company release a new product in 2018 with the name “Switch”? Especially if it’s a tablet.

    “I just got a new tablet!”
    “oh right, what kind?”
    “It’s called the Switch.”
    “Oh, that new Nintendo thing?”
    “No it’s a computer.”
    “Pretty sure it’s a Nintendo”

    Repeat the above for every person who buys one of these.
