Acer Iconia Tab W500 video review

The 10.1 in Acer Iconia Tab W500 is aimed at business users, and transforms into a netbook via a keyboard dock. Prices start at £449. Read the ...

Fujitsu Stylistic Q550

The 10.1-inch touch screen is covered with chemically strengthened glass, designed to resist scratching from fingers and stylus taps, as well as reducing glare. The display itself offers 400 nits of brightness and a 1,280 by 800 resolution, letting you enjoy 720p video. A full sized HDMI port also lets you enjoy content on an HDTV. The display is coupled with a built-in mono speaker, and while the sound wasn't terrible, the lack of stereo sound may disappoint some.

The Q550 uses the same digital pen as the Motion Computing CL900 ($1,250 street, 3.5 stars), a powered stylus that takes a single AAAA–yes, quadruple A–battery. For some tasks, like handwriting, the pen is a perfect tool. It's also the simplest way to compensate for the fact that the smaller tablet display makes it difficult to use your fingers to click on icons and scroll bars in Windows 7. A button on the stylus lets you perform the equivalent of a right-mouse click without the tap-and-hold maneuver used on most Windows tablets.

Where'd This Little Guy Come From?

…except this one runs Windows so you can do everything you’d normally do! No searching for apps compatible with your Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, you can install Office on it, your favourite e-mail client and whatever else you normally do on a PC! It even boasts an HD display so you can load up Netflix or some cliche cat videos on YouTube with beautiful clarity for your viewing pleasure.

It also boasts a pair of 1.3MP front AND rear-facing cameras so you can take quick photos on the go or keep in touch with friends and family through Skype (or Google+ hangouts)!

The battery is rated to last you around six hours under normal use.

Motion Computing CL900

Motion Computing has been a part of the tablet market since well before the form factor went mainstream. Its latest device is made for the businesses space, a category in need of a sensibly priced workplace-oriented tablet. The Motion Computing CL900 ($1,125 list at Microsoft Store) combines strong performance with a feature set that remedies some of the Windows 7 touch issues, but to get the most out of the tablet's feature set, you'll probably need to shell out a bit more to pick up some key accessories, like a stylus and a docking station.

Design
The CL900 is a 10-inch tablet, clad in black aluminum with rubber trim. The aluminum frame provides protection, and this rugged tablet is rated to withstand a wide variety of adverse conditions, whether it's shock and vibration, dust or splashed liquids. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass is bonded to the screen to help prevent scratches and cracks. Behind that Gorilla Glass is a 10.1-inch screen with 1,366-by -68 resolution that supports 720p video playback—a higher resolution than the 1,024-by-600 resolution of the ViewSonic ViewPad 10 's ($729 list, 2 stars) .

Acer Iconia Tab W500 Review

Bored with your notebook? You should see a product made by Acer Iconia W500 series.

Notebook or a tablet? I confused how to categorized it. You can use Acer Iconia W500 like a tablet with a touchscreen that comes with multitouch functionality and can also be used like a notebook complete with a keyboard and track pointers. That way, you can use it as your style and needs. If its predecessor, the Acer Iconia A500, using the Android operating system 3.0 Honeycomb, Acer Iconia W500 uses the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium. For those of you who are used to using OS Win 7, this course will greatly help you in using these tablets. Perhaps, things you need to get used to is how to use it because the device consists of two parts that can be separated. If you remove the screen, you can operate it like a tablet in general.

Acer Iconia Touchbook & Acer Iconia TAB W500 - The Futuristic ...

ACER Iconia Series – Have you seen the movie Minority Report by Tom Cruise way back 2002? Well, this article is not about his movie but when I first saw and read ACER Iconia from one of my favorite magazines last night, this movie flashed back into my head. If you’re wondering why, get a load of what this monstrous notebook has to say. For me, it’s already on my wish list for this year – something that I would really want to have.

Are you getting tired of cleaning your keyboard and touchpad? Well, worry no more because ACER Iconia is now here – button-”less” notebook.

ACER Iconia was first showcased at ACER’s Global Press Event in New York last November 2010, wherein the company’s talking nothing but “touch” and they say with their new laptop you’ll experience lots of touch and more touch – they said it right. And recently, ACER Philippines together with Microsoft Philippines launched their Iconia bandwagon – the 14-inch dual touchscreen Iconia Touchbook and 10.1-inch Iconia Tab. The Iconia Touchbook runs on Windows 7 and inside it is Intel’s Core i5 480M processor with 4GBs of RAM. And yeah, you can also stretch applications (any Windows compatible applications) such as browsers on both screens, while the bottom screen can turn into a virtual keyboard with a virtual thumbpad whenever you press it with your palm – lots of virtual, eh? Way too cool, isn’t?

Before you read my review, I’d like to point out that you may see Acer pictures on Amazon that make it look like different machines with different prices. They are not. There are two models available the W500 (this model) has Windows home premium and W500P, has windows professional. Now on to my review of the W500:

Received my Acer Iconia 32gb windows 7 W500 Tablet/ netbook from Amazon yesterday and immediately I unwrapped and fired it up mounted in the keyboard. After starting, I removed Adobe reader 9.1, Acer games, Ebay world, Skype4.1, and reloaded Skype 5.3, added Firefox with the grab and drag add on for easy tablet use, added sumatra pdf (takes no space compared to adobe9.1, removed live essentials and more. My previous computer was a Asus T91mt tablet/netbook, right away I noticed the following about this Acer, screen is much brighter and more detailed, audio is louder especially on earphones, installed my 32gb SD card from my old computer with all my files and I could easily transfer to various folders on the computer. I adjusted the stick mouse and found it easy to operate. (But I am a old IBM user so you may want to use a USB mouse while in the keyboard mount) I have read reviews that the screen is top heavy and could fall out of the keyboard. Not so. Although the screen is heavier than the keyboard, I found it sits attached to the keyboard very nicely, I even leaned the screen and keyboard way back and it still would not tip and in fact I’m typing this review on my lap now!!! (Leaning the screen forward toward you while in the keyboard it could come out since that’s how you remove the screen) Haven’t experimented with the tablet yet, but I can see it is well built! Very well built! As a test, I played a 1080 blu-ray movie (the Mask) from my SD Card on this unit and it played with out a glitch. This is a movie that would not play on any of my previous netbooks and I’ve owned 4 of them. I have read in other reviews that this computer handles everything thrown at it. I also read the match up of the INTEL dual core 550N against this AMD C-50 CPU/GPU and the AMD blew away the intel. It took AMD 5 years to develop this special processor, a blend of a Processor and a graphics chip on one die! Very Incredible. AMD calls it a APU. Goodbye CPU! I can do everything on this machine that I do on my desktop, connected to my home wireless N in seconds, connected to my wireless HP network printer in seconds. More to come! So far very happy! This unit blows away my former Asus T91mt tablet/netbook! I am so glad that I didn’t get sucked into the hype of all the latest tablets with honeycomb 3. I’ll keep my android software on my phone where it belongs! I must mention there is a review by Sticky on the other listed Acer W500 on Amazon that was very passionate and convinced me to purchase this computer and he was right on with his review!

Acer Iconia Tab W500 review - Pocket-lint

How do you make a Windows tablet usable? You include a keyboard. That's not actually a fair description of the Acer Iconia Tab W500 (which is nowhere near as ungainly as its name), but the Tab doesn't manage to solve all the issues with using Windows on a tablet.

The tablet itself - while not as sleek as an iPad or Honeycomb tablet - is beautifully designed and really rather lovely to hold; it has rounded edges and corners, with port covers for the SD Card slot and the SIM for the optional 3G connectivity to keep it neat. There are two webcams (front and back) so you can take photos as well as do video chat, stereo speakers on the back, two USB ports (one of which is used to dock the keyboard), an HDMI port plus the headphone socket and a physical volume control next to the power button. When you put the tablet to sleep you can use the glowing blue Windows button on the front to wake it up (and as well as opening the Windows menu it combines with the power button to give you Ctrl-Alt-Del if you ever need it).
