The editors didn't like
Heftier than 8-inch competition
Lackluster camera
Speakers a bit soft
A bit pricier than rivals. No GPS. No 3G/4G/LTE. Lots of bloatware
Mediocre display
Thick and heavy compared to much of the competition
Comparatively low battery life
Low screen resolution
Lackluster cameras
Lots of preinstalled software
Keyboard not included
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
Ergonomics for business productivity could be better
Short on internal storage
Not suitable for demanding workloads
Lousy camera and speakers. Disappointing display resolution. Bloatware. Uninspiring design.
Not for power users
Few interfaces
Short Wi-Fi range
Slightly bulky compared to other 8-inch Windows tablets
Processing power, Port selection, Misleading storage capacity
The Acer Iconia W4 undoubtedly improves upon last year's eight-inch debutant, even surpassing competitors that have been outed in that time. However, despite being one of the best tablets in its category, it already feels ready for an upgrade, as if it's ...
Decent overall performance, Good button layout, Long battery life
Reflections can get annoying, HDMI output didn't work properly, Some reliability issues with Wi-Fi
Acer's Iconia W4 Windows 8.1 tablet has a lot of good features, but it wasn't well behaved during our test period. It gave a us a couple of frustrating problems that didn't all go away after restoring. Looks like it needs some updated drivers if it's to b...
Much better screen than its predecessor, with great viewing angles; Charges from microUSB; Decent 6-8 hour battery life; Includes a microUSB to USB converter;
Display resolution could be better; Screens needs a better oleophobic coating, as it really picks up on finger oils; Plastic build; Still no keyboard dock in the package, though one is available as an accessory; Missing more modern wireless standards;
Acer didn’t wait for its W3 to get very old before it updated the tablet, but we’re glad it did. Barely six months since the first 8 inch Windows 8 tablet came out, we now have a model we’d be happy to take with us on the go, with Intel’s latest Atom ...

Abstract: Acer's new W4-820 - an AU$449, 8” Windows 8.1 tablet comes with a free version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 - that normally costs $169 - making it the best value way to buy a full-fledged Windows computer for the home, small office, or studen...
Abstract: Yes I just mentioned Microsoft Office you get 12 months Microsoft Office for up to six people.When first started things seem very small, yes you have touch but you do not have zoom. A sheet is included with four steps to carry out after these are done thi...
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. ...
