Acer is a Taiwanese hardware and electronics company and they gave the people a number of desktop PCs and laptops. They are the fourth largest PC maker in the world. Now, they introduced recently Acer Iconia W700, which is the first Windows 8 tablet and the real surprise which will shock you is the price of Acer Iconia W700 which is just US$ 775 with 11.6 inches full HD touch screen, a core i3 processor, a docking station and a Bluetooth keyboard.

The Acer Iconia is different from other tablets, it is a tablet having a laptop-class processor and a docking station which allows you to use this tablet like a desktop PC.

The main idea is that you can keep the keyboard and dock at work in office or in your home, just put it on the table or at the desk and use it like a full-fledged desktop or laptop. Even, you can set an external monitor if you want a larger display.

The added HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allows you to connect it to an external monitor so you'll forget that you are using a tablet at all.

The Acer Iconia weighs 2 pounds and its battery life is almost 7 hours or so a day which is quite better than other rival tablets and many other laptops. But, battery life is very low in iPAD and in high-end Andriod tablet than your expectations. This tablet is very pretty and impressive with a laptop chip and laptop-class performance. It is very keenly priced and reasonable attempt at a consumer Windows 8 tablet.

At he end, I would say that with a laptop-processor, docking station, Bluetooth keyboard and HDMI this tablet is very impressive and with the absence of active stylus support hinders, it is a very dedicated tablet. The key feature is the price of this tablet. It is a reasonable and attractive tablet to buy and use.
