I’m a long-time electronics and gadget geek who’s been fortunate enough to enjoy a career that lets me indulge this interest. I have been writing about technology for several decades for a wide range of outlets including Wired, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, MSN, About.com, Kiplinger, and GeekDad. I’m in my 10th year as a senior contributor for Forbes with a focus on reviewing music-related tech, Apple gear, battery power stations and other consumer electronics. My day job is with the Malware Research Center at AI-native cybersecurity pioneer CrowdStrike.
The Acer Switch One 10 is a hunk of junk. When you’re using it as a laptop it’s top heavy and easily tips over and in the year that I’ve owned mine I’ve constantly had issues with it. The charger that comes with it fits loosely in the charging port and comes out quite easily. Also, all of the ports are near the top of the screen when you’re using it as a laptop, which makes it awkward and even more likely that the thing will tip over. I’ve tried using this thing as a tablet, but it really doesn’t work as one. Now the current issue that I’m having with the Switch One 10 is that it refuses to charge, despite the charging indicator light being on and it saying that it’s plugged in and charging. Judging from a lot of posts I’ve seen on the internet, this is a very common problem with the Switch One 10. If you want a lightweight tablet/laptop, don’t get the Switch One 10.
I bought one of these and used it a whole two months before the adapter tip snapped off. Ive ordered a few different adapters online to try and charge it but none have fit. Any ideas?
