Previously, the W700 came with the docking cradle and brown leather protective case. (In Malaysia, we don't get the Bluetooth keyboard together with the cradle but in US they do).

Now, the package is Greyish protective case with embedded Bluetooth keyboard instead of cradle & leather case. I am writing this reply with my W700 using the embedded keyboard. It suits my purpose well but may not be suitable for everyone as it adds some weight to the overall package.

At the moment, the keyboard case is not available for separate purchase (for whatever reason I do not understand).

I have confirmed this with Acer, the new packaging now includes the keyboard in a flip cover. I do hope you can show us some pictures

Anyway, first post is updated.

Looks cool , if I could have delayed my purchase for a day or two, I might be able to get it with the keyboard. Anyway, I have purchased the Logitech Tablet keyboard for my daily use.

By the way, the recovery DVD is the System DVD that comes in the box right? We don't have to create and burn a set, correct me if I'm wrong?

Yes, the System DVD is the only bootable disc inside your W700. You can use it for a full factory reset.

May I know where do you purchase the W700 with embedded Bluetooth keyboard case in Msia?

I have bought Acer w700 yesterday. The price is RM2600.

Nice package, wish I had waited!

Why did you pay 2,600 when the retail price is 2,199?
Are the specs different from i3 (sandy bridge) and 64gb ssd?

The old batch without keyboard case and stylus..thats why cheaper..

400 for the pen and keyboard case seems a lot...but looks like it's worth it.
Any change in the specs?

Guyz... where to find the screen protector for w700?

Tried to find one in garage sales...but cannot find one (or maybe i'm using the wrong keyword to search...)

Should be a lot. Any 11.6" screen protector should do

sorry if this sounds noobish... but won't a 11.6" screen protector covers the display screen only? It won't cover the black bezel, right?

Yup.
In that case, what you are looking for is not only the screen protector, but a whole set of laptop / tablet skin
Try to search for armourone in LYN garage sales forum, and see if they get anything for you

Thanks nexus2238 .. Gonna try that first :]

So... just wanna know...

Yep there is a slight change in spec (updated in the first page about a week ago). The dock and leather case is not supposed to be included in the that package.

However, I am unsure whether the RM2.6k W700 is an international or local set
or, maybe Acer change the package, again.

Like all my devices, I like them to be naked. The front screen is Gorilla Glass 2, so it is pretty much scratch resistance.
For some reason, the shop people also advised me not to put screen protector on this device

eh... sure bout that?
worry coz im using the leather case right now... the cover might pick up some dust and scratch the screen later when i close it....
Dust might scratch the screen right?

Everyone, i bought it in Thailand!!!

Guyz.. if u guyz don't mind..

Does anyone ever encounter/know anything bout this?

Hi...planning to buy an Iconia W700 soon.
Anyone can tell me whether Malaysian set has embedded keyboard already or not?
And how about the wifi performance? Some says it's weak. (I mean weak in receiving wifi signal).

Yes, it has a Bluetooth keyboard embedded in the cover.
Maybe Acer has fixed the WiFi performance on the new set, either way you can fix it via driver update.
