Acer Switch 7 Black Edition -- For when an i7 Surface Pro just won't cut it

Acer's newest tablet is big, heavy and just plain mental.

So let's get to the point, what makes this 2.4 lbs tablet so special? Why would you want this over a 1.7 lbs i7 Surface Pro?

• 13.5" 2256x1504 IPS display
• Wacom EMR with pen storage
• Kaby Lake Refresh Core i7 (15 W - 4 cores / 8 threads)
• NVIDIA MX150 graphics with 2 GB GDDR5
• Dual LiquidLoop Fanless design
• Thunderbolt 3 (eGPU support)
• Power on fingerprint sensor

Expect to see this in December with a starting price of $1,699 (keyboard and stylus included).

Hm, I'd certainly consider this over a Surface for sure. I don't know much at all about MX150 graphics, though. Despite eGPU capabilities, I'd still be curious to know more about that.

The MX150 has a power consumption similar to a GT 940MX and performance slightly higher than a GTX 950M. Not sure if that's helpful.

Yep, that's absolutely helpful. I have a laptop with a 940MX and I've been more than happy with how it handles the games I was hoping it would play well (StarCraft 2, Heroes of the Storm, Paladins, etc). That's not bad.
