Acer Iconia W700

Acer Iconia W700

Welcome to a Laptop Ac Adapter specialist of the Acer Ac Adapter

Like nearly every major PC manufacturer, Acer has split its Windows 8 tablet range into an Intel Atom CPU-based affordable model with a HD Ready (1,366 x 768) screen, and a more powerful, more expensive Intel Core-i model with a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) screen. So if the Acer Iconia W510 just doesn’t provide enough grunt or you want a larger display with more pixels, should the 11.6-inch Iconia W700 get your precious pounds?

Well, starting at around £600, the Iconia W700 with adapter like Acer Ferrari 5000 Ac Adapter, Acer Ferrari 5005 Ac Adapter, Acer TravelMate 8200 Ac Adapter, Acer TravelMate 8210 Ac Adapter, Acer Aspire 5600 Ac Adapter, Acer Aspire 5620 Ac Adapter, Acer Aspire 7000 Ac Adapter, Acer Aspire 9400 Ac Adapter, Acer TravelMate 2460 Ac Adapter, Acer TravelMate 5600 Ac Adapter, Acer TravelMate 7510 Ac Adapter, Acer BTP-BCA1 Ac Adapter is certainly one of the more affordable premium Windows 8 tablets. For that money, getting a Full HD IPS display, unibody aluminium body, Ultrabook-equivalent innards plus a USB 3.0 docking station and keyboard seems like a bargain.

While it doesn’t stand out for any particularly original design touches, the W700 is quite simply a beautiful tablet. At the front a layer of toughened Gorilla glass makes the transition between screen and black bezel seamless, while the back and sides are seamless metal.

In fact, the Acer Iconia W700’s unibody anodised aluminium chassis feels very much like something you might find on an Apple product, which is far from a bad thing. Concurrently, build quality is superb.

The lack of tapering edges and curves gives it a slightly chunky aesthetic that’s quite pleasing and makes it easier to hold, though here its nearly 1kg weight does… weigh against it.

Connectivity on the W700 tablet itself is very similar to what’s offered by most rivals. On the left you’ll find microHDMI, a full-size USB 3.0 port and the power jack. The top sports a handy rotation lock switch, while on the right you’ll find power and volume controls along with a 3.5mm headphone/mic jack.

The only absentee, and it’s a big one, is that there is no (micro)SD card reader. This seems a very odd one to exclude, and means you’re limited to the tablet’s inbuilt storage.

Where most competitors offer a keyboard dock solution, the W700 instead comes with a USB hub cradle and separate keyboard. The cradle increases the tablet’s USB 3.0 ports to three, though these share the bandwidth of the tab’s own single port.

However, it must be said that we would have preferred a proper mobile keyboard dock by far, which could have turned this X86 tablet into a proper laptop alternative. With the Iconia W700, Acer appears to be repeating the mistake of Samsung’s original Series 7 Slate, but the Korean company has learned from its error and produced the Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro with laptop-like keyboard base for this generation, while the Taiwanese giant leaves you with a tablet-only away from the desk.
