Acer Iconia W4
A solid 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet with good battery life
Good battery life ; Improved display ; Micro HDMI support ; Office comes pre-installed
Slightly sluggish performance ; Uninspiring design ; Too much bloatware
The speakers, meanwhile, aren't anything spectacular. The twin speakers sit on the bottom edge of the tablet and in landscape mode it’s very easy to cup the one furthest away from the Home button. They are not very powerful and while it doesn't suffer...

Acer Iconia W4 review
Windows 8.1 tablet is highly evolved
Excellent screen ; Office included ; Battery life
Processing power ; Port selection ; Misleading storage capacity
Launched at the right price, Acer's super portable and versatile Windows 8.1 tablet looks great and can cut through basic computing tasks with ease. That said, there won't be enough internal horsepower here to satisfy power users.

Acer Iconia W4 review
The Acer Iconia W4 is the company's latest stab at a Windows 8 tablet. It's a step up from the earlier W3 model thanks to Intel Bay Trail Atom processor innards and a higher resolution 8.1-inch display. That's Windows 8.1 in an 8.1-inch tablet - it...
Good screen viewing angles, full Windows 8.1, decent battery life, super-fast browsing, microSD storage
Can lack performance speed, plasticky finish, screen resolution could be higher
The Acer Iconia W4 is a very capable 8.1-inch Windows 8.1 tablet, especially for the price. For an all-day-use Windows tablet that's portable but still offers plenty of apps and a good screen the W4 is spot on.

Acer W4 Windows Tablet
I have reviewed quite a lot of Android Tablets this looks similar but is a Windows Tablet. This means that all your Windows programs will be able to run. It has an SSD and will accept OTG or USB sticks up to 64GB as well.
The supplied short micro USB to USB lead enables standard USB sticks to be read. It also accepts up to 64GB OTG natively without the lead and you also have a micro SD slot so plenty of storage available apart from the supplied 58GB SSD unit. Around 6GB...

Acer Iconia W4-820-2466
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.

Acer Iconia W4 review
Acer gets it right on the second attempt: the Iconia W4 is an inexpensive, reasonably nippy Windows 8 compact tablet
The Acer Iconia W4 is a huge improvement on its predecessor, largely thanks to the inclusion of an IPS screen and faster processor. It also narrowly bests the VivoTab Note 8 thanks to its faster eMMC storage, improved battery life and additional video...

Acer Iconia W4 Windows 8.1 tablet
Acer's 8in Iconia W4 Windows 8.1 tablet is a decent unit overall, but was a little problematic during our test period
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...

Acer Iconia W4 review: a big upgrade to a small Windows tablet
Acer's Iconia W3 wasn't quite the best introduction to 8-inch Windows tablets; we liked it, but its subpar display and modest performance kept it from be
Much-improved display ; Above-average battery life ; Good performance for the money
Slightly bulky compared to other 8-inch Windows tablets ; Subpar speakers
The Iconia W4 may not stand out in any one area, but it's a textbook example of how to do a small Windows tablet with a solid design, a pleasant display and long battery life.
