Yeah I just noticed that (thanks for pointing out!). I am wondering if I should hold my horses and wait for P3 i5 series.
thoughts?

Btw the ram is onboard. Unable to add any ram into it.

Can seek advice here pls that, does the P3 comes / attached with an SD Card Slot ?

Very Sad that the W700 didnt attached / comes with any SD Card Slot to increase the internal memory...

To those contemplating W700 vs P3,

I am using a W700 here, n I am pretty happy with it.
It has a nice full hd screen , that's a plus.
Looks like Acer cut down the hardware specs on the P3 except the cpu which is a ivy bridge n the tablet is slightly lighter in weight.

Lower resolution lcd panel
Lower ram at 2gb
Ssd size smaller at 60gb

For a device that is hard to upgrade the specs ourselves , that makes the P3 a hard sell at it's current configuration n it's pricing. Even if it is equipped with a i5 cpu in upcoming version, I will think twice abt it unless Acer restore back the rest of the specs as per the W700 n without charging a hefty price for it.

Essentially Acer is cutting down cost here n there wit the P3 !!!!

The stripped down 720p display on the P3 is a real turn off

i got the same problem

hd and full hd i don really mind.

what i care about is the processor and the ram
4gb ram is i very need

and also...RM300 different (p3 i5 vs w7)

any 1 can give some suggestion either i should wait for p3 i5 or w7

Currently the model listed is an i3 Aspire P3, the specs of the i5 version is yet unannounced.
According to Acer, the i5 version will come with a better specification such as 4GB RAM on board.

Cheers.

I thought p3 i5 will come around this month?

what I concern is about the performance of graphic card hd3000/4000 and i3M series/ i5Y series.

is it huge performance different between this?

worth for rm300 and wait for p3 i5

According to Acer, yes it will be around this month but the date is yet unknown.
The i5Y will definitely have a better integrated graphic card (HD4000).
Both graphic cards will handle HD playback just fine.

ic...
i will wait for p3 i5...

is W700 - 3G support? or W701 ver?

No 3G, you can upgrade the SSD by yourself by referring to the first post.

i thought the W701 version has 3g? anyone knows if its being sold in malaysia?

i never seen it. btw, anyone seen P3 at lyp? the best street price? saw some forumer sell for RM1880. about RM100 diff to W700.

Not much info for W701 but here it is:
Windows 8 - Intel® Core™ i3-3227U - 11.6" Multi-touch FHD Acer CineCrystal LCD - 4 GB DDR3 Memory - 60GB SSD - Intel® HD4000 Graphics - 3G WAN - Acer Nplify 802.11a/g/n + BT 4.0 - HD + 5.0M - BT4.0 - Micro HDMI - USB 3.0 - micro SD + Bluetooth Keyboard Cover - 9 hours - Silver - 1 Year Carry In

How long can W700/701 lasts without the dock/with the dock? Eye-ing on one

I mean battery


Oops. I think there's no battery in the dock right? Too bad.

Depends on your usage, my experience is 4-5 hours, wifi connected, browsing net, running torrent, Microsoft office.

Running torrent can get 4-5 hours I think is quite good right? Will consider this but hoping for an updated version. Sandy bridge is too old now.
