Acer Switch 7

"power-hungry features such as the high-res screen"

What a stupid statement.
The screen is not even very high res, and the new Surface Pro or iPad Pro have very good battery life with their higher resolution screens.

Also as long as you're not making much use of the GPU, it won't eat up a lot of power. It might even be turned off when it's not needed, or it might even be more efficient than the eGPU.

In the end it's important, that the battery is big enough, and that you don't turn up the screen brightness to maximum.

 

It's still quite a few more pixels to power. Also, both the Surface Pro and iPad Pro could have noticeably better battery life with lower resolution displays.

 

More than what?
Also I'd take more pixels over a bit of battery life any day.
I don't think it's a huge factor anyways.

 

This looks like a real negative for long term ownership of an Acer device. http://fudzilla.com/news/44710-acer-to-turn-into-a-holding-company

 

It has more than a whiff of Carl Icahn...that HP Spectre or the rumored 8th gen Dell XPS 2-in-1 are looking better all the time. Who knows, maybe Samsung will get its act together with an updated Notebook 9 Pro (you know, the one that was to be released in September), or put an S-Pen inside the next Galaxy Book 12...

 

Which Dell and HP?

 

The 8th Gen Intel models - Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (not yet released); HP Spectre x360 13 (limited pre-orders)

 

It looks like it has same capacity then switch 5 ... 37wh.
The cpu has 15w tdp and the mx150 has 25w tdp. The system use 8w ....

Wheter it throttles a lot or the battery last 30min without powersupply

Do either of these have Wacom EMR?

 

Nope - both are N-Trig (I think the Bamboo stylus works with both, as well as their own brand). The lack of Wacom EMR in top tier OEM's is the bane of my existence (outside of Samsung).
