does w3 screen protector can be used with w4? and where i can get crunch cover only?
not sure where to get these 2..

went to buy asus fonepad 7 too.. was looking around but no stock. went to buy at subang but only 8gb version available.. then when i went to digital mall, there were 16gb version at a few ringgit cheaper..

my bad..haiz..

1099 not bad lar, not like we got anything free as well.

Lazada seems to be the only place that even mentions you can buy the cover, but it's the crunch with keyboard cover.

Well, let's think about it this way.. the camera is just this small little window. You could just cut it out yourself then.

What is the battery consumption per hour if let idle ?
*
When you say Idle, you mean in sleep right? Not leaving it there with the screen on?

The W4 has connected standby, which means it can act like an iPad, instantly turning on and off.

When I leave it off for the night when I sleep, it drops around 2%~3%

Reason for the low W4 supply is because their W3, W510, W700 tablet sales were low. All their dealers & distributer giving same excuses that there is very low demand for Windows tablet. When these sort of communications goes to the top management, they dont dare to carry more stocks considering the general market sentiment is poor & buyers are very cautious of increased living cost.

I was having bfast one day & the fellow sitting next table happened to be one of the local Microsoft mgmt person coordinating Windows pc sales in M'sia. He was giving same kind of reporting to his overseas boss over the phone.
*
I think W5 sales were ok until the Asus Vivotab smart came in and shook up the price. The Clovertrail was quite good, and paved the way for the Baytrail we now have.

The W3... what is there to say about it other than the SUPER SUCKY SCREEN!!!?? tongue.gif

W7 was for a totally group of ppl with its size.

I reckon they wanna clear off their stocks of the W3 before they take in the W4 ? No one will want to buy the W3 with the W4 around.

The W3 is also more expensive ?
*
Technically I would say the W3 should be in the same price range as W4, unfortunately its just suckier... no thanks to the screen..

Pro Tip : Remember to NOT keep MPC-HC playing a file when you press it to go to sleep, it doesn't seem to got to sleep fully and drains the battery.

Is it worth joining the ACER cloud / portal, since I have a Microsoft account and skydrive?

How do I resgister for warranty.
*
Warranty you can register on Acer Website, but if you fiddle with the Acer Cloud program, after the initial account creation they'll mention that the device is registered for warranty.. Is it worth it? I uninstalled the app even BEFORE someone else mentioned that it was sucking up CPU cycles. tongue.gif

Would you like to charge your Acer W4 with a USB Battery Pack? Here're my findings so far.

Not SWIPE, DRAG from top to bottom, you'll see the app shrink down, when you release at the bottom it closes it.

There is one, since Win7. Quite good for my 12'' Acer 1825 but not for W4.

Firstly it is a full sized keyboard, with page up/down, print screen etc. Too big for W4. Secondly, due to the Microsoft weirdness, you need to launch it from app list, called on screen keyboard. The one with the docked icon is presumably the newer one meant for smaller screen. My 1825 launch the big full sized one with predictions.

The one you mentioned is actually the legacy one since the old Windows.

Here's some tips regarding the touch keyboard.

The original Acer screen protector pack comes with 2 types of film sets. Nice.

Anyone else using a Bluetooth mouse here? All my MS BT mouse seems to be jerky, where as a BT keyboard + touchpad combo has no issues.

The only problem I noticed with this tablet is that if I tried to charge the unit when it is still on, sometimes the tablet just become not responsive. Or if I have put the unit to sleep (screen off) and then charges the unit, then sometimes I cannot use the power-on button to wake it. So to avoid all these problems, I simply don't charge the unit unless it has been shut down. As the units last a long time on a charge so this is only a little annoyance to me. Maybe this is the reason Acer decides to wait a month before selling this in USA?
*
This seems to be the usual Windows Update bug, which is if it applies an update while it's in Connected Standby, it might fail to wake up. One way to prevent this is to turn off the automatic installation of updates.

For Autocad, suggest you pop in a 64GB Sandisk Extreme microsdxc with 80MBps UHS-1, class 10 and use virtual ram off it.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/10/sandisk-extreme-microsd/

It will certainly help when opening large CAD files. I do that for opening large Google Sketchup files on my end. Higher ram is needed especially when u need to rotate model in 3D. By the way I can really feel the difference between normal other brand class 10 vs extreme microsdxc. During 3D rotating, there is less lag time.

Of course don't expect too much from the Atom but it provides enough capability to do editing or viewing of design while on the go in such a compact form factor.

I've tested difference between Ultra and Extreme, on the Acer W4, the biggest difference is in WRITE speed, READS on the Extreme are just slightly faster.

Cool! You must be one of the first to do a proper and comprehensive review on YouTube.

So far the ones I've seen are crap !

Thanks !
