I guess I should do it as well since I don't use it, wasn't sucking that much on my side, but I guess should not tax Atom if not necessary.

anyone tried when connected to powered USB hub, it can charge the W4? thinking want to make it as a HTPC while I am @ home and connect to a powered Belkin USB hub..
*
Haven't tried that yet, ordered a few of these cables to see if it'll work or not.

I got a current reading of the Acer W4 charger, the tablet was drawing 2Amps during charging from the adapter!

it's an x86, so yes you can play games on it.

But, you're not going to be playing COD on it obviously. tongue.gif

appreciate your reply, is the stuttering obvious?

Yup, basically it's what you see in the previous gen Clovertrail where decoding can't keep up.

How many ppl actually use HEVC for normal videos anyway? tongue.gif

Tried with USB powered hub, and it didn't charge only providing USB extension access.. its going to be a concern if one want to convert it to full PC replacement with external monitor and keyboard n mouse.

Waiting for Marauderz test on the USB cable with power...

That needs to wait lor, DX takes about a month.

an alternative to bluetooth keyboard/mouse ..

is to buy micro usb to usb female and use wireless keyboard mouse combo ...

but havent found any small 1 piece micro usb -> usb female (without any extra wire).

yesterday did walk around midvalley sourcing for bluetooth keyboard/mouse .. not cheap! sigh ....

already have wireless keyboard/mouse combo but a bit ugly when using the otg cable. lol.
*
One piece MicroUSB OTG converter? Got, I'm using it, go to all it and find it near the USB cable place.

Blame Asus Malaysia for thier crappy marketing plan. Why the hell they bring only 32GB. If they offer 64GB (Same price without the 500GB dock), I would choose Asus. Too bad.
seems like leaving us only W4 that got the right size & specs.

Owner of W4, would like to ask you all, say if only use Bluetooth mouse, is it sufficient? Typing can only when need -on screen. Right?

Cable problem?

Do you noticed how much fatter the original cable was vs those bundled with smartphone or ipad? And it finished charging quite quickly too.
*
The original charger is rated at 5V 3.5A, I clocked it at 1.8A using the amp meter. The original adapter is bad ass! tongue.gif

Normal tablet charger only supply around 1.3A eventhough branded as 2.1A..

Have anyone encountered w4 could not wake up? after left on Idle for 1 day.. then can't turn on? need to charge and wait for 1 hour or 2 then can on, but need few attempts to turn it on..
*
did you try both the windows button as well as the power button? Seems to me the Win button goes to 'sleep' sometimes.

there's another possible reason, it seems that on connected stand by, automatic updates have a chance of hanging the system. At least that's what happened with my W510, so had to turn auto install updates off and manually update when it tells you to.

anyway, haven't seen it like what you mentioned. Since I'm playing with the dell right mow, my Acer will be dormant for the whole day, will see what happens when I try to turn it on tonight then.

is it all windows 8.1 support miracast including w4

Supposedly its hardware dependant, but I think someone mentioned the w4 is using a chip that supports it? Not really sure how to confirm that though, I don't have any wireless display stuff lying around.

Anyone else noticed that Right Clicking in File Explorer takes a loooooong time to respond? Then I noticed the bloody Nero Backup option, so I uninstalled that and Norton backup and I think it's fine now.

Does this device cometh gyro sensor so we can play car racing games just by turning or tilting the tablet?

Accelerometer, yes. So you can play all those tilt games.

According to the Sensors app in the Marketplace the W4 has all the usual sensors on a tablet.
