Need help from any existing Iconia W4 users. I intended to buy the W4 tablet mainly for my forex trading "on-the-go" & not sure whether the trading software will be able to run on it. Would appreciate if any W4 user can download to test it out. If possible some screen dump will be great.

The application is available here ... http://www.ibfx.com/Platform/Free-Forex-Demo-Account

Many thanks in advance.

Dropped by IT Mall at 2.30pm. Asked Acer dealer at the entrance & he said no more RM899 units. Got stock for RM1099. Dunno if its a gimmick or not to get ppl to the Mall. 

Was thinking of getting one for my wife. Since no urgency for the tab, I'll wait for the next bargain offer.

The offer is for 3 days until 5-Jan-2014. I was there at 10:30am this morning & was the first to buy the unit. No queue at all. Go early !

I thought D-Fusion is selling the screen protector (2pc/pkg) at RM50 ?

For casing, maybe can try here ...

Hmm..didn't notice DFusion had it

I ordered the crunch cover from Lazada, it says it arrived in their ware house already so hopefully I can get it next week.

Original Acer crunch cover also sold at D-Fusion ... I think they quoted me RM129.

How much you paid for this casing? I just ordered from lelong.com for RM77. It looks exactly the same as the one you mentioned.

Just received the Iconia W4 casing ordered from lelong.com. Ordered last Saturday & delivered today directly from China, I think ... quite prompt. Here are some photos ...

Rm99 by acer.

Its for w3, and since they share similar chassis, i can use it to dock and as a stowaway behind the keyboard. Matched perfectly.
*
I am not sure whether it is the same one I saw at All IT HyperMarket, Digital Mall, PJ & they quoted me RM129 just for the keyboard.

p/s BTW where did you buy it?

hi, I am interested in getting the acer w4. there is one thing i would appreciate feedbacks from w4 owners.

what i like about my previous windows pocket pc, and my current androids, ipad is that they are able to do instant on and instant sleep (not much battery drain while sleep.)

But of course, these devices are limited to what one can do when compared to a full windows 8 or ubuntu tablets.

But then again, tablets with full windows os in the past take long time to boot up and load all the drivers, processes, services. After pressing the power on button, you have to wait and wait until the device becomes usable.

Of course, the alternative is to use hibernate. So, my question is can bay trail solve this problem because I read that the processor handles power management very efficiently and almost as good as how arm processors handles power management. Thanks
*
On my Iconia W4, start-up time from the moment you pressed the Power On button took about 12~13 seconds .... much faster than my desktop PC.

I just found out something interesting about this casing .... maybe got to do with the embedded magnet in the casing.

When you close the casing the W4 automatically go to sleep mode & when you flip open the casing it auto-ON again! Nice feature.

I bought the leather cover initially and found that it difficult to use swipe function in win8.1. The leather cover a portion part in front screen (the surrounding black edge area), while win8.0 require swipe from edge area to screen area for the action. You cant do it anymore if using this leather cover.

I agree with your comments. That's why I am trying to get this casing ...

Last week I checked the price still RM1099. Are you sure?

Actually I am dilemma between this and Nexus 7! Actually I had an IPad2 but after ugpraded to iOS7, the device is soooooo slow. So now just want to get a 2nd tablet for my normal daily usage.

Get the W4 & forget about Nexux 7 & iPad. I have an Ipad which I sold off recently but still holding on to my Android HTC Flyer. I am satisfied with this Windows 8.1 tablet ..... thinking of getting the Thinkpad 8, depending on the pricing ;-)
