According to find various articles on the Internet, Acer withdrew this product and replaces it with a sleeker with IPS display.
So these recessions bring but what and the return!, Keep it up!
Good Day,
I have been waiting since the announcement of W3 on the product and read everything there was to read it.
When it was available at Amazon then, I ordered it right and Amazon typically arrived there the next day.
Unwrapped, well not exactly a lot of accessories, well makes really nothing, I only need the tablet and the power adapter.
HM a DVD on the Recovery steht- strange, but I shall be determined not need ....
Well turned on for the first time. BLUE SCREEN (is currently available for Windows 8, a light blue screen ...) WTF, well again spotted and turned ... Something's happening ...
After a few minutes, and some set up, it was time, the unit was there.
Then the device itself:
Feel: It is very well made, but all plastic, I actually do not mind. If other materials likely to be more difficult than it already is ... you can in one hand, but not for long ...
Software:
Windows 8 now Windws 8.1, I like Windows 8, I love it Spa ?, it is intuitive and once you get used to it once it's great and looks good. For tablets, it is actually perfect, aaaaaber, the apps, as missing a few and others must be done better. Google Chrome for Windows 8, for example, you can not even zoom with the familiar gesture, etc ..
Ever Watch what I like to use, jerky in HD, it seems there is no optimized app for
Spotify, which I like to use is hard to use, because there is no App and the Windows application is viiiiiiiiiiel too small, as you meet Nothing ...
If you do not use the Metro and those Apps, you need a mouse and keyboard, otherwise the operation makes no Spa? and after 10 times, pressures, I always meet not the megrim, I wanted (and I have no Wurstfinger :)
The Windows password must be entered again and again, very annoying. With Windows 8, you can still get around, but in Windows 8.1 can not.
Hardware:
Atom processor: is not the fastest, but has actually been what it, you have to take the waiting time at the start of the apps in buying that is okey, have indeed no i5 or similar. But that is it partly to such long delays, is not sustainable. When the ovens App "Travel" that was pre-installed, I typed something and felt 10 seconds later came the first letter, it freezes often times a.
Battery: The battery is great, really long running times, 6 hours WLAN, Bluetooth, screen on full brightness, are loose inside.
WiFi: Just awful, permanent connection terminations and the router is not 8 feet line of sight away, surfing makes no Spa ?. Again I have to run router then the connection is established again for a while. If I have a connection, there are also meißt 4 of 5 bar, but as I said, do not last long.
On the router, it is not, have a variety of other devices in the home, who never had problems with it.
Display:
8Zoll are perfect, for me at least, it fits in your hand and it can be seen all still good and is also much handier than a 10 inch Klotz.Mir the relatively low resolution had known, even I can live with, already had Android in which the resolution was similar and fit anyway. But here, I was very disappointed with the display. It's not the resolution but the display itself, there is enormous viewing angle dependent, you really only see everything in the correct colors when you grade it stares. It is also krieselig, and that's not at all. Especially on white Websites that Krieselige can be seen, as if one has a bad Displayfolie plan.
Speakers: If you hold the device vertically, you can hear stereo sound, down there two speakers are installed. But if you hold it down, you concealed this and the sound is bad.
Why are they there at all installed!?!? If I want to watch a video, I think the tablet horizontally and then the sound comes to you again with one hand hidden, only from the right ... Bad gelößt ...
Servie: Acer chat, I once tried out and spent ages felt so ...
To display: Is anything known to us
To the WLAN: install updates (everything is up to date) .I should reset the device .... and so it began.
Resetting is not like typical Windows 8 because not much space is available and no partition is available for this, so the DVD .... but where is there because purely a DVD, why is no USB stick at ??? (He would not even go, since one needs a specially microUSB to USB adapter)
Well, what you do not do everything so that everything runs. So buy DVD drive and Recovery DVD is inserted. The medium is invalid ... The Good Support told me to in the BIOS.
So in the new touch-optimized Bios (looks real nice out for son Bios) drive on first position at boot ... It does not boot .... Acer Support: You need an external power supply for the drive ...
CONCLUSION: total bullshit, I do not now too much ..... the unit returns ....
But since I did not want to give up hope, and I thought this might well be a Monday device, I got it lasssen exchange, but the 2nd device exactly the same problems.
Krieseliges display, bad WiFi, Lags, Freeze, delays ...
Too bad, I was so good things and have been waiting for it for so long ....
Meanwhile, I have installed Windows 8.1 and because everything just got worse .... on my PC running Windows 8.1 very good ..
Excuse me, that I wrote the review in such detail, but it just had to get me, because I am as I said, very disappointed with the product.
Absolutely I'm concerned there's no Kaufemfpehlung, except you can see that with the aforementioned things, not as tight as I.
So there's just a sad star of five.
