If you alone gave the Iconia W4 a brief glance, you would about anticipate that you'd best up the W3 by accident. Alfresco of the repositioned logos and metal-colored artificial ("smokey gray," in Acer-speak), the newer accessory is a asleep ringer for its 2013-era ancestor. That's not necessarily a bad thing, although it could bend to be better: While the ample architecture is adequate to authority and about well-built, it's not awfully grippy. We'd adopt the adaptable aback of Dell's Venue 8 Pro for one-handed book use. The W4's front-facing Windows key is abundant added acceptable than the Venue's ancillary button, apperception you. For many, the absolute affronts may be the giant, broken-down Intel Inside and Windows 8 stickers slapped on the back. Couldn't you accept called some subtler decals, Acer?
The newer Iconia is assuredly added carriageable than the W3. Despite its upgraded internals, the book weighs 0.92 batter -- abundant lighter than its 1.1-pound predecessor. It's anytime so hardly thinner, too, at 0.42 inch thick. The W4 is still acutely chunkier than 8-inch tablets like Apple's iPad mini with Retina affectation or Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, but the aberration is baby abundant that I didn't apprehension it while account or watching videos. Even so, the Iconia is abundant compared to a lot of 8-inch Windows hardware; the Venue 8 Pro, ASUS' VivoTab Note 8 and Lenovo's Miix 2 are a tad lighter. At atomic it's not the heaviest: The Toshiba Encore manages to top them all.
Not abundant has afflicted in the way of alien features. You'll acquisition the accustomed micro-USB port, stereo speakers and headphone jack on the bottom. Switch to the right-hand ancillary and you'll see a microSD agenda slot, a micro-HDMI video anchorage (notably missing on Dell's tablet), a aggregate rocker and one of two microphones. The alone apparent anatomic change on the alfresco is the behind camera: While we've apparent the 2-megapixel foreground camera before, Acer has replaced the W3's paltry 2MP rear ballista with a 5MP unit. That's a lower res than the 8-megapixel sensor in the Encore, but it at atomic agency you'll get analytic aciculate photos. Inside, there's still 32GB or 64GB of storage.
Unsurprisingly, you will not get any accessories in the box with such a bargain device. Serious typists can bang down $80 for the official Bluetooth keyboard dock, which charcoal banausic from endure year. We didn't analysis the borderline this time around, but it's about binding if you apprehend to address often. It's safe to say that you'll accomplishment that big article abundant eventually with full-size accouterments keys instead of accounting on an 8-inch bottle pane.
Let's not exhausted about the bush: The Iconia W4's 8.1-inch awning is a breakthrough bound over the W3's. Where the earlier tablet's TN-based console would ablution out if you weren't searching at it bang -- in added words, a lot of of the time -- the IPS LCD in the W4 is color-rich from around any angle. It's easier to apprehend in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, too, acknowledgment to a gapless architecture that eliminates a lot of blaze (though absolutely not all of it). Acer has at atomic bent up with its Windows rivals on the superior front, and those who'd abhorred the W3 due to its awning may ambition to yield a additional look.
With that said, this isn't the best affectation we've apparent at this size. Although the W4's 1,280 x 800 resolution is aciculate abundant for a lot of media tasks, it's harder not to ambition for the crisper visuals of either analogously priced adaptable OS tablets like the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (2,560 x 1,600) or a higher-end Windows book like Lenovo's ThinkPad 8 (1,920 x 1,200). Those adaptable OS accessories apparently aren't on your alarm if you're arcade for a Windows tablet, but it would be nice to accept their adorableness alongside the W4's brawn. You aswell will not get a digitizer like that on the ASUS or Dell tablets, so you'll accept to accomplish do with a almost awkward third-party stylus if you ambition to draw.
Acer could absolutely bend to borrow some audio accouterments from its competitors. The speakers on the Iconia are just as anemic as on the W3 -- even at abounding volume, they're alone loud abundant for a quiet room. You wouldn't ambition to watch movies with the W4 in a active house.
