Acer Iconia W700-6499 11.6-Inch Tablet (1.8 GHz Intel Core i5-3337U Processor, 4GB DDR3, 128GB SSD, Windows 8) Silver

I've had this tablet for a little over a week. The Core i5 Processor is snappy, allowing you to run applications smoothly in both Windows 8 Desktop and Metro. The Keyboard is subpar, not entirely recognizing all keystrokes however; the tablet shouldn't be faulted for a Keyboard. If your looking for a keyboard, go purchase a high quality Bluetooth Keyboard to be used with this unit.There are a few minor issues I have had with the issue unit; however, I believe it may be more software related than hardware.-Some Applications may require you to use a Mouse if the Application is very dense; i.e. Design Applications, Financial Applications, etc. I've had an issue with registering some touch inputs on very dense Applications. i.e. Requires you to select an option which is very small on the screen.-Weight. The unit weighs around 2lbs witout the case. With the case, its a bit more. The unit does way more than for example, the Ipad or most Android Tablets. But keep in mind, this is a full Windows 8 Experience with a Core i5 Processor. Even at 2lbs, the Unit is very light.The unit is constructed very well, with a glass front and metal back.-Audio. The Audio has been amazing when using the Headphone Input.Overall, I would rate this Unit as 5 out of 5. Ignoring the fallbacks with the keyboard as I simply consider the Keyboard to be icing on the cake rather than an actual function of the tablet.The unit also comes with a few adapters for VGA and HDMI and includes a Stand as well.

Not a fan of win8. I Guess they got rid of the product key stickers, because I failed to find one on this device. Mine came with the dock and a soft shell with the attached keyboard and a place for the tablet. Even though the dock is nice and has the built in usb hub, I usually find my self using the soft case with the attached keyboard more. Battery life is about 4hr (you can get more, but you wont be able to watch HD videos or photoshop very well in the "low power/battery saver" mode). Used this on the plane from takeoff until landing watching movies in 1080p. Flight time was about 4.5 hours. I would highly recommend the 128GB version as win8 and its updates takes up quite a bit of space. Boot up time is only a few seconds-which it should be as its on an SSD. The reason why I chose this over some of the other computers was the i5 CPU and the 4GB of ram. I know 4gb isn't a lot, but its better than the i3 and 2gb that most of the other tablets come with. I don't think they keyboard is removable from the soft shell case either -- it would have been nice if it did.

First of all I like acer products, I have 2 other computers that I believe work very well. I also like tablets, I have 2 android tablets, and even a touchpad, all work fine. This does not work well at all.The tablet freezes continually, and the touch response is so poor, I have had cheap phones that work better.. Then I found that the bluetooth audio did not work. I called Acer tech support, he sent me a link to update the bluetooth which I did. In the process I lost 14gb of free space and my computer kept freezing, although the bluetooth would connect. Called back spoke to someone else explained the problem, he said send it in for repair, I told him I only had it a week, he said return it. Not much help there, when I further questioned, he said seems to be a problem with the tablets and wouldn't go into anymore, just return it.Not sure if they have had so many problems it is not worth trying to diagnose the problem or not, but either way it tells me to stay away from this product. Finally as I'm writing this review, I'm waiting for my battery to die in the tablet so i can pack it up. It will not shut down, and is locked on the acer screen with the fan blowing full speed, to say this thing is a piece of junk would be an overstatement. And by the way the battery is not removeable which is why I am waiting.One other note, To do a system recovery requires you to have a disc drive, because the hard drive is too small to have a boot partition, so if you have a problem you need to have that portable disc drive or send it back with your info on it.My machine I suspect is defective, however from my phone conversation I don't believe it is uncommon. I personally will choose to replace this with a different product from a different company, and if your thinking of buying this I suggest you think about trying something else.

My mother has been looking for a tablet to replace her aging PowerBook G4. Since she recently got an iPhone (without service it basically functions like an iPod Touch), she now already has a device more than capable of running "apps". I told her she should consider going with this vs an android tablet, for the simple fact that she can run apps on the iDevice, and this would serve as a functional replacement for her actual aging computer, while still having tablet like capabilities too.I ain't gonna repeat the specs and all the spiel that is already in the listing.This. Tablet. Just. Rocks!It is fast, capable, and provides her with a device she can use as BOTH a PC and as a tablet. While a warrantee voiding, overly complicated endeavor, the SSD inside it is a standard socketed mSATA card, so it IS upgradable, if you have the skills to disassemble it (and MORE importantly, RE-assemble it! :)I purchased a refurbished model that came with a different style keyboard and case, and did not have the dock. The company that sold it to me covered the cost of a small USB hub to make up for the lack of dock, and were nothing but a pleasure to work with. That said, I can not review the dock, as I have no experience with it. The tablet itself though, is excellent!
