Cool, quiet and powerful
The Aspire Switch Alpha 12 SA5-271-71NX 2-in-1 laptop makes no noise because it has no whining fan and that's because it has a fan-less heat pipe CPU cooling system, Acer LiquidLoop, that effectively cools the powerful Intel Core i7 processor under its hood. Cool, quiet power-that pretty much sums up this great device.
The perfect port
This 2-in-1's powerful capabilities are extended seamlessly to external devices via a USB 3.1 Type-C port. This impressive port transfers data super-fast and streams high-res video to premium displays without a hitch. You can also recharge external devices like smartphones via this port.
Great audio and visuals

All models come with built-in TPM and all models can connect to an optional WiGig dock for high-speed wireless data transfers. You can also transform the Switch Alpha 12 into a PC with desktop-grade performance via an optional external USB Type-C dock. Jot down ideas and notes with an optional Acer Active Pen.
