Is there anyone here using Acer W500/1 with Windows 8?
It basically has the 'minimum' requirement for running win 8...
I wonder how it performs....

i'm using it since developer preview. actually i install it on the first day that i bought on january this year.
here is my WEI score for the final Windows 8 pro:

Almost everything works except that snap feature since resolution is lower then requirement.
here is also a video that i upload few month ago that show the w500 connected to plasma tv with consumer preview

yup correct it run on SSD 32gb... look at the WEI score above.. its 6.4.. normally hdd is 5.9
that new ATOM only faster abit from that amd c-50.. what the most advantage is the better power consumption

Here is 510/Atom Z2760 WEI score...
3.5 for Processor
4.6 for RAM
3.5 for Graphics
3.2 for Gaming Graphics
5.6 for Primary Drive

... hmm.gif hey it only win on cpu speed.. the rest w500 better huhu

PeeNutt.. .right now u're using that W500?

what kinda software/apps u stuffed into that thing?
how is it performing?

Is kinda hard to judge to overall performance right after the windows is installed... need to install programs, than can see how well it goes..

It uses SSD, but only 2GB of RAM, right?

Is the RAM / SSD upgradable?

hehehe yup i'm using the w500.
i'm a 3D/2D artist so most of my programs is power hungry
but for me surprisingly it run ok la.. sure cannot compete desktop werstation
but for lite job ok jer.

Ssd is upgradable with msata drive but RAM cannot already soldered. 2gb is more then enough for a tablet.
Most huge programs i install on 32gbSDHC card using junction ntfs method. Still hav 10gb sdd left after install alot of metro apps.

Here another video that i upload playing wif 3ds Max

i see Acer is listed in Dexcom's price list

http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/priceLists

http://assets.hardwarezone.com/retailer_pr...rice(4)_2_0.pdf

and jayacom is slashing the previous generation of Acer W501 tablet by whopping RM400!!!! if comes with W7 HP. you can upgrade it to W8 Pro at RM49. The only downside of the tablet is that it does not have enough resolution to support W8 Snap - side by side app feature.

i dont see Samsung, Asus or Fujitsu Windows 8 tablets listed although they have been launched in Malaysia. Guess shops are still busy clearing out W7 laptops and Android Tablets!

I cannot find that Rm400 deal on that pdf price list.. it only show Rm 1299. My friend would like to buy 1 if it 400. U cant even buy netbuk wif tht price sweat.gif

Oooopp sorry u mean it slash 400 haha .still a good deal since 501 equip wif 3g
