Acer Switch 7 SW713-51GNP

Overview

However the Switch 7 isn't an instant recommendation even considering this price advantage. If you really want the excellent performance in this sort of tablet form factor, this is the best choice. But if you need something with good battery life, or if you'd prefer a more premium build, you might want to look towards the Surface Pro or even the Eve V as decent alternatives.
