Iconia W510 PC tablet Windows 8

The use of mini ports on the tablet portion means you will at least have to carry a mini-USB adapter if you plan on doing files transfer on the go.The batttery life is amazing.Basically, HD video playback seems much smoother on the Iconia PC Tablet dengan Windows 8 W510 vs the W5 Construction and overall impression: Much better put together than the W500, Fit and finish is good.That makes it much easier to carry around to meeting or clients.I'm fairly new to Win8 metro having only spent a few days with touch enabled Win8 devices in the last few months.Landscape mode also have a small problem because the "window" key is on the lower edge and you will hit it by mistake many time till you learn to just hold the tablet upside down.It's lighter than the current ipad and although it's not as powerful, it's actually does more for all practical purpose.I'll be making some comparison to my Acer Iconia W500 (Acer's first X86 win7 tablet) and the new W700 .I then tried a few 1080p 1GB 24 mins . The included leather case works well and offer a few viewing angle options.Turns out there is already an update so I logged into my MS account and updated the app.You can certainly get in a full days work without carrying around a charger and a bag.Playback is perfectly smooth all the way through.I would say that's between about 5 hours of video playback and about 4 hours of general use both indoor and outdoor and I have yet to see it drop below 20% so I sure you can get close to the 9 hours as advertised.I'll add more to this report as I test more apps on this device but so far I'm pretty happy.In desktop mode, after installing MS Silverlight.In conclusion: The W700 is great for someone looking for a laptop replacement and needs to run some serious software.I get great transfer speed from a Patriot 0 flash drive (over 150/mbps read and 80 write).Added on Dec 6th For those looking at real world comparison between The Iconia PC Tablet dengan Windows 8  W510 and the W700 on heavy duty tasks.I used my W500 for mostly for browsing, watching media on the go, ebook and some minor office work so I'll be making comparison on those area first.Some of you may want a comparison between the General Impression on W700: Very solidly built. The construction is another step up from the W5 The screen offer more real estate at 1920x10 It's is a bit hard to read with the small fonts size but zoom is very fast and smooth.There are a few point that I'm a bit dis-appointed.I watch 2 episodes of BSG without any problem.Things seems OK for a bit but then video starts to lag but audio kept going so they are out of sync after a few seconds.However, the extra .So far, I really have not notice much of a speed difference between the two but then again I'm not really running anything that complicated (programs and Apps may take a fraction of a second longer to launch but not noticeable).It seems that removing the need to run in a browser plug-in environment is all it needs for smooth HD playback.I think thin and light is the key for those who wants a tablet experience and being able to run normal windows software is a nice bonus on top.KLite codec basic).It seems that Acer included a hidden recovery partition.Media Playback: One of problem with the W500 is that Netflix HD have very poor performance and even SD is not quite smooth at times so that was the first thing I tried.If you ever have to wire connect to a LAN using a USB to RJ45 adapter, it will effectively leave you with no open USB port (unless you use the one on the tablet). The 64GB version only shows 6GB total with just over 30Gb available out of the box.I then proceed to playback a bunch of 1080p Youtube video on IE and the playback is perfectly smooth again.Have not notice any slowdown even with apps downloading and install updates in the background.It's lighter than any similar spec Ultrabook on the market and last longer on battery.If any of you wants me to check on something specific.Sound is pretty good for it's size and compares well to the W500/5.The unit felt cool during all these time (cooler than an iPad).12/9: I just got a MicroSD 64GB SDXC card and it works fine).I have yet to run the unit out of power despite only charging it at night.Got my hand on an i3 W700 (without dock or keyboard) during the Thanksgiving weekend and played with it quite a bit and since the price of the i3 W700 is fairly close to the price of the top W510 model.General Win8 Metro experience: Many apps already have update waiting when I got my unit(over 30).Having only 1 USB port on the dock also hurts especially since there is no ethernet port on the dock.It's is however a bit heavy and bulky for someone who wants a tablet experience. If you use Acer's eRecovery and create a restore disc, you are then given the option to delete the restore partition and recover the space used).I did not install any games as others have already post about them.Not having any SD slot on the tablet is a pain but having a full size USB 0 port on the otherhand is great.The 32GB version does not have the hidden recovery partition so you'll have to restore from the recovery DVD.The W510 is thin and light and runs forever.I guess those willing to do a flash install of Win8 can delete the hidden partition to free up some space.Touch response is very good and smooth.Sure, I'm not using it constantly but I would be streaming a couple hours of video and do some browsing and reading all thru the day.Great screen but fonts and buttons can be a bit hard to read/click unless you change to 125% or 150%.Converting a 1GB 720p .8lbs really does make a large difference.I played a bunch of videos in varies format up to a 12GB 2 hours 1080p video file (with proper codec installed) with no problem.You can forget holding this in portrait mode for any length of time so it's of very limited use as a handheld book reader.I have the same video on my W500 and while it played fine on the W5 The playback on the Iconia W510 PC tablet Windows 8 W510 is noticeably smoother.
