Acer Iconia W510 - Hands on experience

Acer Iconia W510 - Hands on experience

So after using the Acer Iconia W510 for a few weeks, what is my first impression of it?

I've listed some main points, which are the first to "pop" into my head:

 

 

CON:

• Look's like aluminium, thou it is only painted plastic.
• Might be a bit heavy.
• Get's hot under the "NFC" sticker.
• Reaches 80 degree Celsius at 70% cpu usage
• No additional SD card-slot in the keyboard (would be a sweet feature)
• The keyboard (SOMETIMES) don't respond that well. (Missing letters)
• No usb 3.0 (Don't know if it's possible with this architecture ?)
• The wifi could be better signal wise, but it's acceptable considering the size 

PRO:

• The cheapest Windows 8 tablet/hybrid on the market.
• Supports up to 64gb microSDXC
• 300 nits bright display
• The touch is EXTREMELY responsive
• Have a touch "Home-button"
• 18 hours of battery-life
• Handles large playback files well (1080p 7,8gb with no lag)
• Great as a "app gaming platform" - Spent many hours playing radiant defence

 

So who should consider buying this hybrid?

• Students on a tight budget, who also want a tablet
• People who's  "on the go" and need portability.
