I wonder if Acer warranty include charger too?
Stupid charger decided to crap out. Somehow the usb port at the charger got loose.

my charger also decided to crap out. Same problem as the usb port at the charger got loose.
Wonder it is a design flaw ??

Same problem here. I end up charging with my Note2 charger.

Is it covered under warranty?

My W4 has started showing serious yellow tint on screen. Really unhappy with the quality

Any picture side by side with another W4?

Hi.. sorry to hear that but my screen okay so far. Only the usual flickering now and then.

I thought that was fixed with bios 1.13

Guys,

Anyone tried micro HDMI out? I wonder why there is no scaling option. Just received my micro HDMI cable from Taobao. It look so small on my LCD TV. I had to use Zoom2 setting on my Panasonic FHD TV. Even that wouldnt fill the screen.

Same experience as yours. Tried few combinations but no better sad.gif

Found a solution to this although not perfect.

Pull the charm bar, goto Setting>Display. Extending the display allow me to run FHD on secondary display and all I need is to pull the movie over and maximize it. Bad cause no option to make changes once I maximize it on the secondary display. Need to download the mouse app someone posted earlier.

I ve tried it, very hard to setup with touch, especially extending to secondary display with just tiuch input.

Better use DLNA, no cable needed

It was not that bad. Quite easy to extend since I just use it to view video. Just cant fast forward unless I connect my bluetooth mouse/kb.

I already hop on the Windows 10 wagon.

First thing I noticed is the Tablet mode is WAY WAY ABOVE Windows 8.1 Start Tiles menu
Second thing, the battery life is much longer than Windows 8.1. Maybe due to different strategies on power management mode. My tablet can last > 3 days on single charge when not using it. Previously it won't last longer than 2 days in standby mode.

Other than that, the MS Edge browser is way more friendly.

I already restore to W8.1

W10 really hard to get used to. I hate the keyboard wont pop up now and have to manually bring it up. The desktop now very messy, and I prefer to swipe up from Metro to access all my programs. I also hate how the settings were now compared to back then. When I finished upgrading, the wireless adapter wont work and it also wont allow me to change to other drivers. Took a few restart to fix it.

I have to say with each iteration, its getting more and more frustrating. I dont even know how to have two app side by side like W8.1. Task manager is also annoying. Previously if I accidentally swipe, I just have to swipe a few times until it goes back to the app. Now I have to see which app and select it. I think maybe I can use the task manager button to return (never try).

I dont think its worth the time unless you want DX12.

As for battery life, I think mine last quite long without using. I think more than 2 days if I just leave it like that. Perhaps because I have nothing running in the background.

Goto soyacincau and download the installer.

The waiting list is really long if you wait for the queue

Just sent my tablet in for warranty. Even though I havent use it in months, it started going crazy on me. Both bottom corners not reacting to touches.
