The rear camera doesn't feature a flash so you can't really click pictures in low light conditions. The cameras take average quality photos in both daylight and artificial light. The tablet sports a 2-megapixel rear camera and a front-facing camera sporting the same resolution. Touch was pretty responsive, however, desktop apps with small buttons are a little difficult to use and we recommend a stylus (not included) for that.

There are reports that Microsoft plans to change the requirement with the Windows Blue update but for now you'd not be able to use this functionality with the Acer Iconia W3 tablet. The snap mode allows users to run and view two apps simultaneously.

We also observed that the screen was very reflective and under-sun visibility was not that good.Īnother downside of the display is the resolution as Windows 8 requires a minimum resolution of 1366x768 pixels if you want to 'snap' apps. Other than this, text and images appear decent and videos look above average. Even after cleaning the screen rigorously, you won't be able to remove the grains. (Be assured that there was no screen protector and we removed the one that came with the tablet). The screen looks terribly grainy, as if someone's put a screen protector on it, and there's moisture between the two. This means that not looking at the screen directly from a certain angle affects visibility and colour rendering. Colours look washed out and viewing angles are terrible. We have to say that the tablet sports one of the worst screens we've seen, and that affects the experience of using the tablet adversely. The Acer Iconia W3 has an 8.1-inch Active Matrix TFT Color LCD, which sports a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. There's also some Acer branding and Windows and Intel stickers.Īs we pointed out earlier, the tablet doesn't feel premium and its design is to be majorly blamed for this. There's a 2-megapixel rear camera located at the top right corner (looking at the tablet in landscape mode). The back of the tablet is made of plastic with a Silver-Grey matte finish. The microSD card slot and the Volume rocker key sit at the top of the tablet. A Micro-USB port and a micro-HDMI port are placed at the left hand side of the tablet, along with the Power/ Screen lock key. The right side of the tablet features a proprietary charging port connector, a 3.5mm headset jack and two speaker grills. There's a 2-megapixel front facing camera located at the left side (top if you hold the tablet in portrait mode). The display panel with the bezel fits into White coloured plastic frame, which also sports a Windows hardware key at the right side of the tablet (in landscape mode). The bezel makes the tablet look really unpleasant.
The front of the tablet features the 8.1-inch screen surrounded by a rather broad Black bezel. It looks plasticky and feels bulky due to its thickness and weight. The Acer Iconia W3 tablet doesn't exude a premium feel. But would an 8-inch Windows 8 tablet be able to offer a good experience? We try to find out in our review. The 8-inch form factor is really good when it comes to using a tablet for consuming content - reading, watching videos and movies or playing games. The Acer W3 changes all that, becoming the first 8-inch (8.1-inch to be precise) tablet to run Windows 8 and not Windows RT, which Microsoft created specially keeping tablets into consideration.

The other reason being that anything less than 10-inch would make the experience of using legacy apps cumbersome and OEMs wanted to market their devices as a PC substitute.
This is primarily because the OS has been majorly seen as a platform focusing on 'productivity' (Microsoft is also to be partially blamed for that), and not on content consumption. While we've been seeing ultrabooks, hybrids and 10-inch tablets running Windows 8, it was not ported to a device with a smaller form factor, until now.
With Windows 8, Microsoft turned its focus to touchscreen devices as the new operating system featured swipe gestures and charms that could be best experienced on touch-enabled devices.
