Acer, a world leader in notebooks, tablets, and much more has announced some exciting features for the new Iconia W4 Tablet.
“TAIPEI, TAIWAN (October 17, 2013) Acer today debuted the new 8-inch Iconia W4 tablet that features IPS and Zero Air Gap technologies providing a sharp display with enhanced clarity and brightness. In addition, the Iconia W4 is also equipped with Windows 8.1 and the 4th Generation Intel® Atom™ processor, offering faster tablet performance as well as battery life up to 10 hours for web browsing and up to 8 hours for video playback1.
Compact enough to hold in one hand yet spacious enough for comfortable viewing, the Iconia W4 brings mobile productivity and media consumption to the next level. It targets active and professional users who want a tablet that’s easy-to-carry and convenient for all the multitasking they do — all in one sleek device. It comes preloaded with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013, at no additional expense, for managing documents and an optional ultra-slim and portable keyboard for those who need to type as well.
Extremely sharp display
Equipped with an IPS technology display, the Iconia W4 provides consistent images, color and brightness from a wide range of viewing angles, up to 170 degrees, ideal for sharing. Furthermore, Zero Air Gap technology removes the air in between the touch panel and LCD module, reducing reflection and boosting readability even under sunlight.
The Iconia W4 features a 16:10 ratio with 1280 x 800 pixel resolutions, a 2MP 1080P front camera, and a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus that supports 720p/1080p at 60 FPS/30 FPS respectively for great photos and videos.
Latest technologies for cutting-edge performance
Driven by the 4th Generation Intel® Atom™ 1.8 GHz processor, users can enjoy a smoother video playback, gaming and web-browsing experience. For true one-hand tablet usage, the built-in tablet portrait mode provides a pleasant one-page experience whether users are checking apps, browsing the web, reading or even responding to emails and social media posts.
Windows 8.1 includes several new and intuitive features, such as InstantGo which makes the tablet ready to go at any moment by keeping data and apps refreshed and up-to-date even when the screen is off, by maintaining an internet connection.
Built for productivity and entertainment on the go
The Iconia W4 comes with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 so users can create and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint docs virtually anywhere, while an optional full-sized keyboard enables more productive typing on the go.
In addition, sharing content and data between the Iconia W4 and other devices is convenient through its range of ports. The HDMI® Micro port provides easy audio-video connections to an external display for sharing presentations and other content. It also has Micro USB for connecting to devices like phones, for transferring files or for power charging. Plus customers will always have room for content and data on the Iconia W4 — it comes with either 32GB or 64GB2 of internal storage, and supports an additional 32GB2 of storage capacity via the microSD.
What’s more, the Iconia W4 also features a sleek design that is slim and lightweight — it weighs only 415 grams (0.91 pounds) and measures 10.75 mm (0.42 inches) thin, so it’s easy to take anywhere.
Acer Crunch Keyboard — for users who need a keyboard, Acer offers a state-of-the-art, ultra-slim Crunch Keyboard fitted in a soft synthetic leather cover that easily folds outs while also serving as a tablet stand. The stylish 5.3 mm (0.21 inches) thin silver keyboard offers Bluetooth® 3.0 connectivity and is rechargeable via Micro USB.
