The tablet comes with a snap-on keyboard that transforms it into a traditional mini-notebook. Versatility is the watchword for Acer's Aspire Switch 10, a tablet that has four distinct personalities. I reported the average of three runs of the battery test. For tablets that lack a full-size USB port, I used an adapter.

Using the shuffle feature on Windows Media Player to continuously play six videos from a USB flash drive connected to the system, I charted the battery's remaining capacity with PassMark's BatteryMon. The screen brightness and volume were set to 6 and 10, respectively, and the reserve battery level to 1%. I fully charged the system, set its power management options to Balanced and adjusted the settings to prevent the computer from going to sleep. After that I looked at several test patterns, images and videos to note each display's ability to render color.ДЇinally, I gauged how long each can run on its battery. I converted the results to candelas per square meter.

To see how the screens of these tablets compare, I measured their brightness in a darkened room with a white image on the screen using a Minolta LM-1 light meter.

I ran the software three times and averaged the results. It has several game routines as well as a visualization of a Mandelbroit fractal set. The software exercises every major component of the system, including processor, hard drive, 2-D and 3-D graphics, and memory operations. I tested the performance of each system, using PassMark's PerformanceTest 8 benchmark test. I worked with each using a variety of Wi-Fi networks as well as a mobile hotspot. I worked with the touch screens with both my fingers and a stylus. I noted how easy it was to attach and separate the tablet and the keyboard. Next, I measured how far the hinge allows the screen to go and whether it was easy to tip it over. I attached the add-on keyboard to each and tried the system out as a notebook as well as in tent and presentation orientation, if available. tablets compare with each other, I used them at my office and on the road for at least three weeks each, including a short business trip.ДЄfter measuring and weighing each with and without its keyboard, I checked out the assortment of ports, how each felt in the hand and - after 30 minutes of use - whether the case was getting hot.

The HP ElitePad 1000 G2 and the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 have more traditional attachable keyboards, while the Toshiba Encore 2 has a case that's practically an exercise in the art of origami, folding into an easel stand that holds the tablet in place above its keyboard.Д®ach the four is a full Windows 8.1 tablet. It can work in any of four computing profiles, from notebook and tablet to tent and presentation orientation. They offer a variety of techniques for transforming a tablet into a keyboard-centric system.ДЄcer's Aspire Switch 10 has a hinged keyboard that snaps onto the tablet, allowing the screen to be set at just about any angle. To see what the state-of-the-art in this area entails, I gathered four of the latest 10.1-inch Windows tablets from Acer, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba. Plus, with an add-on keyboard case, a small tablet has the ability to transform from an entertainment medium into something approximating a traditional notebook. The latest 10.1-inch Windows tablets have smaller screens and less impressive performance, but they weigh roughly half a pound less and just might offer the best balance today between power and portability.

And starting at $800 for a system equipped with an Intel i3 with 64GB plus $130 for the Type Cover, it is not an inexpensive system. (without its keyboard cover), the Surface Pro is not as light as it could be, particularly for nomadic workers. Its snap-on keyboard and pull-out rear stand tries to offer the best of both worlds, but with a 12-in. Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 has gotten a lot of attention as a way to bridge the gap between tablets and traditional notebooks.
