The Acer A543 is a 14-inch Windows 2-in-1 with a touchscreen. Its detachable keyboard can turn it into a compact laptop for work, while Notebookcheck reports a starting price of 2,599 yuan in China—roughly $360 at current exchange rates.
The display has a 1,920 × 1,200 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a 60Hz refresh rate. At 10mm thick and 3.3 pounds, the A543 is closer to a desk-oriented 2-in-1 than a tablet designed for extended handheld use. Acer has explored this category before with the Acer Switch 3, another Windows device with a detachable keyboard.
The more unusual choice is the processor. The Intel Celeron J4105 dates to the fourth quarter of 2017 and is already listed as discontinued in Intel’s product documentation. It has four cores and four threads, runs from 1.5GHz to 2.5GHz, and carries a 10W TDP. Acer pairs it with 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB to 1TB of storage. There is a notable discrepancy: Intel officially specifies a maximum of 8GB of memory for the J4105, while the A543 is listed in a 16GB configuration.
Connectivity is more generous than on many tablets: one USB-A 3.0 port, two USB-C ports, Micro HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio jack. One USB-C port supports video output to an external monitor, and the listing also mentions support for a dedicated dock. The battery is rated at 6,000mAh with 45W charging. Acer estimates up to seven hours of video playback, six hours of web browsing, or five hours of office work; those are manufacturer estimates rather than independent test results.
