W700 has excellent fullhd screen. Sometimes very hard to touch the tiny button when in fullhd res especially in desktop mode. Battery can last 5-6 hrs normal usage. The only thing which dun really like is the almost 1kg w700 tablet body. A bit heavy to my liking. The lack of SDcard slot is the real turn off as the SSD space is quite limited. LCD screen once spoiled and replaced under warranty in just 4 days. Overall is good machine.

You can scale up your desktop to fit the 1080p screen, here's how: Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Make text and other items larger and smaller; then scale it up to the largest. Now everything is larger while remain sharp and HD quality., this is one of the cool new Windows 8 feature. 8.1 coming soon will do much more. Cheers

For the keyboard or mouse, its better to get the bluetooth version as the USB version will used up the one and only usb port available in the w700 body. Unless u dock it.

I found that stylus with a metal mesh tip (I think boxwave and other makes) works best. Much better than normal rubber tips and skips less than a jot pro tip. Which annotation or note programs do you use?

The problem is the digitiser itself doesn't recognise very small writing. I've tried adonit and the fiber mesh one worked best for me

I normally have pdf files that i review, ie proof reading, circling words and commenting aka more like how a teacher goes thru exam papers. do you think this stylus would suit my usage style? cos my main issue with the broad rubber based tip ones, is that i find it hard to write like how i would with a pen.

Yes, I do the same thing. Of course a digitiser would be much better esp as there's palm rejection, but it's not bad. I saw the free adobe reader has a good markup tool now btw.

QUOTE(Sean93 @ Jul 6 2013, 07:19 PM) does p3 comes with Microsoft Office preinstalled? It does come with MS Office 2010 /2013 Trial that you need a key to activate it. The free full version of Microsoft Office 2013 will only be preinstalled in smaller tablet forms such as 7" or 8". Anything above 10" screen requires purchase of the software. Currently, there is only one tablet at such form factor which is the Acer Iconia W3, though there might be more in the future by other manufacturers. Especially when Windows 8.1 with better scaling and improvements is released.

So your statement is only partially true Source here
