The all-important part of a tablet is its display. It's the sole interaction point for this type of device. Simply put, the W3's display is disgusting. It's shockingly bad in a number of ways. When I first tried the W3 I assumed it had finger grease on the display, but a quick clean confirmed that the screen is just so grainy that it looks like someone dropped it in a swimming pool. Using this device transports you back to a world where manufacturers struggled to build displays properly. It feels like a resistive device from 10 years ago.
..ouch. Not going to neg but that's pretty damning
ASUS ME400C 64GB with Windows 8 installed only gives you around 27GB free space.
This device only have 32GB. I wonder how much free space this device has with both Windows 8 and Office installed…Yes, I agree the size (of the unit) is awesome. But the size of storage is not awesome at all.
perhaps using usb or sd cards might help ;)
Is this the same as W8?
this one is the newest 8" model, which is better than the W8 for portability and the price is more decent too

Apparently, only 7-8GB of storage is available.
Yes, that's always what microsoft does.
Win7 seems slim after you install it to your hard driver (10GB ~ 15GB), but after some update it is more bigger and bigger. I think there must be bugs in the file system or software registration mechanism of Windows….
That's why I like linux or unix(mac) more.
I really want one of these (or moreso just a 8" Win 8 tablet) but think I'll hold out for the refresh (or other manufacturers to release 8" versions….). Ideally a Surface 2, 8" full Win 8 tablet would be nice! :) Storage isn't too much of a concern for me….
Just be patient, I think Acer will come out with an upgraded W3 within the next few months if rumour are to be believed.
and few months after then will have newer model ^_^,so,just buy it if you want to use it,technology never waits us ;)
I don't get why anyone would want an 8" W8 tablet? I have a W510 and I have think its brilliant as it provides both tablet and notebook functionality, but without a keyboard and with a screen that would be way too had to use with desktop apps, and with the touch apps being far inferior to ios and android, what's the benefit?

Acer is going to release a refresh of this tablet to address complaints about it's poor display, so for those not in a hurry can probably wait: http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/17/4530994/acer-iconia-w3-suc…
