how come you all got 999? mine one 1099, the Sales said no more 899, just bought around 2pm same Acer booth.. but then I got the 8gb thumb drive+ 3 years warranty package and bluetooth speaker + 100 Rm Parkson voucher without extra charges..

Tried to do Widi Connection to my Sony Bravia TV.. and its more stable than my Experia Z1, however you need to connect while its on landscape mode, if you use the potrait mode and connect to the tv using miracast (screen sharing), the TV will lock as a extended screen, not the mirror display..

Haven't tried that yet, ordered a few of these cables to see if it'll work or not.

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.

Or, another work around, use the Wifi Storage NAS like/cloud storage... + Bluetooth keyboard and HDMI connection to the monitor.. and let the USB port only for charging.

PS: Last nite instead turning on my Rig to torrenting, I used the W4, surprisingly the battery still last until morning with 4x2Gb torrent download capped @ 5mbps.. (Stored @ the SDHC)

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.

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.

Since you mention about Update, perhaps its the cause.. because when I saw the screen 1st time after refuse to run, has this installing update screen with running circle, then saw the login page after that..

Let me do what you suggested n see if the automatic update really is the culprit.
