Following leaks revealed earlier this week, Acer officially revealed the Switch Alpha 12 during an event in NYC. The Switch Alpha 12 is a newcomer to the flourishing 2-in-1 convertible laptop market, but with numerous vendors occupying this arena, Acer’s latest contender has to go above and beyond to stand out. It did do primarily by implementing liquid cooling, a first for the 2-in-1 market and a surprise given the lack of a fan.

The Switch Alpha 12 has 6th-Generation (Skylake) Intel Core processors (Core i3, i5 and i7 options) within an anodized aluminum chassis. The detachable backlit keyboard offers 1.4mm of key travel and connects to the display via a flexible magnetic hinge. Also included with the Switch Alpha 12 is Acer’s optional Active Pen stylus.

The device has a 12-inch 2160x1440 touch display with an IPS panel supported by Intel HD Graphics 520. It also has a 1080p web camera, dual front-facing speakers, 128/256/512 GB SSD options, and either 4 or 8 GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM.

The Acer Switch Alpha 12 will be available in China and EMEA in May starting at ¥5,999 CNY and €699 respectively, and available in the U.S in June, starting at $599.

German website tested the cooling concept:
With Furmark and Prime95 running, and also while charging the device and surfing on the web, after 15min the temps of the whole package were "only" at 69°C.
The CPU also only downclocked to 2,2GHz (base is 2,3GHz), compared to the 1,3GHz of the Surface 4.

I'm really no fan of Acer products. But this caught my interest. The i5 with 4GB RAM can currently be preordered on Amazon.de for 800€.
Will wait till this thing is out and look at some reviews. But i tend to buy it. And as i buy it from Amazon, i don't care about Acer support, as Amazon will handle it just fine.

for what. you play 12-14 hours a day. 1 hour training, 1 hour masturbating, rest sleeping time. you will never be able to use it. for on the go masturbating you can use your samsung note. rather wait for new gfx cards or buy yourself one of those vr glasses if you want to spend some money
