The editors didn't like
Reflections can get annoying

Some reliability issues with Wi-Fi
A bit pricier than rivals
No GPS
No 3G/4G/LTE
Lots of bloatware
The clunky plastic design does the W4 no favors
And it's thicker and heavier than many other Windows tablets. The screen resolution feels dated compared to a growing number of HD-or-better tablets
Display offers good viewing angles and color reproduction. Good performance from Intel's Bay Trail SoC.
Lousy camera and speakers. Disappointing display resolution. Bloatware. Uninspiring design.
The 5-megapixel rear-facing camera leaves a lot to be desired. Image quality indoors is flat out terrible while photos snapped outdoors under ideal lighting conditions are still pretty lousy. I get trying to save a few bucks by including a cheaper camera ...

Abstract: The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. Perhaps the most exciting developments came towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 from the usual big guys: Google released...

Higher processing performance helps you get things done on the go, Offers an improved display and better viewing angles, MicroHDMI allows you to use the W4 on the big screen, Decent battery life carries you through your day, Free access to Microsoft Offic
Display is average compared to other tablets in this category, Front facing camera tends to pixelate during videoconferencing, Audio quality leaves much to be desired
If you like Windows 8.1 and are looking for functionality and productivity in a compact device, the Acer Iconia W4 may be just what you need. Plus, the micro HDMI which is not present on some of the other tablets in this category, will allow you to view a...
Plastic build, Poor sound, Full Windows 8.1 is cramped
No tablet can take over all the duties of a notebook computer, but the relatively small-screened Acer Iconia W4 is certainly not ideal as a laptop replacement. You'd be better off thinking of this slate as a supplement, in which case its good battery lif...
The Acer Iconia W4-820-2466 is a bright, compact 8-inch Windows 8 slate tablet. With a full copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student and almost 10 hours of battery life, it's a viable alternative to carrying an ultraportable laptop to class or meetings....

The 8-inch Acer Iconia W4 has a few advantages that help it stand out from a crowd of similar devices, including great battery life and enough ports to support basic productivity. It's also much better -- and less expensive -- than last year's W3 model, ...

Excellent screen, Office included, Battery life
Processing power, Port selection, Misleading storage capacity
If you pick up the Acer Iconia W4 tomorrow, you're unlikely to be disappointed. It can perform a far wider range of tasks than your average iPad or Android tablet thanks to the inclusion of Windows 8.1 and the ability to install legacy Windows programs. ...
