Acer Iconia W4 (W4-820-2466 64GB) 8″ Win 8 Tablet Now Shipping

Acer Iconia W4-820-2466Acer’s latest Iconia W4 8-inch Windows 8 tablet PC is now shipping to the US customers. The first model on offer is the W4-820-2466 with 64GB of internal memory and a price of $380. A 32GB version with a lower price is expected to hit the market soon, but the 64GB edition is still a recommended choice because Windows 8 installation takes up the largest portion of space on the 32GB one.

As same as other late 2013 8-inch Windows tablets, the W4 is based on the Intel Atom Z3740 Bay Trail quad-core processor with a great power efficiency and basic computing performance. It’s coupled with 2GB of RAM. The display has a standard 1,280×800 resolution and IPS screen technology is included for better picture quality and viewing angles.

Acer Chromebook C710
Acer has updated the processor on its C710 Chromebook. The refreshed version of the Google Chrome OS-powered mini laptop with a 11.6″ display sports the 1.5GHz Intel Celeron 1007U dual-core instead of the 1.1GHz Celeron 847 dual-core. Although the 1007U is rather a very entry level CPU than a speed deamon, peformance increase of the C710 is noticeable.
