Acer Iconia W510 / W511 / W510P / 511P

Unlike larger hybrids with 11.6-inch and 12-inch displays with full HD resolution, the Iconia W510 sports a 10-inch IPS display that has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It isn’t as crisp, but not too bad either thanks to the smaller display. On the...

Lightweight design; Long battery life; Comfortable keyboard dock; Useful Acer Ring app

Poor graphics performance; Slow flash memory; Sluggish camera

Click to EnlargeThe Acer Iconia W510 is a fairly attractive tablet that can double as a notebook, offering a design that makes it easy to change modes, plus a comfortable keyboard and very long battery life. The fact that you can get more than 15 hours...

3G connectivity ; Full-blown Windows 8 with legacy app support ; Decent battery life ; Cheap for a Windows 8 hybrid

Bland design ; Dubious build quality ; Touchpad is uncomfortable

The Acer Iconia W511 is clearly aimed at tablet buyers on a tight budget, or simply people who aren't willing to spend too much on a Windows 8 hybrid device. It may look a bit uninspiring, but it's light, affordable and offers an adequate set of...

Super light weight, long battery life, beautiful screen, Micro SD card slot, good front and back camera. Runs smoothly with Windows 8

Price, gets hot sometimes

1) At 1.27lbs and 0.35 Inches it is lighter and slimmer than the iPad 4, 3, 2 and the original ; 2) Runs all my old Windows programs (iPads or Android tablets can’t do that) ; 3) Wifi, full Bluetooth support, NFC, HDMI, MicroSD, 8mpxl Camera ; 4)...

1) The built would feel better if it was made of a stronger material ; 2) Windows Desktop on a tablet should let me pitch to zoom the same way it does in the Metro section

Thin and light. The atom processor works great for this tablet. windows 8 works great on this tablet, acer did a great job on this tablet. It is much faster and much lighter than the w500 I purchased a year ago

This particular tablet kept locking up on me. I would do a reset and it would work fine for a while and then it would lock up again. I believe it was just the particular unit that I purchased. I returned it the next day, because it locked up one time...

Great tablet, doesn't feel cheap at all, sure its plastic but it feels high quality. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the first generation Ipad, kind of a more flat edged design instead of curving which I like better. Don't be afraid of the Atom...

As for ports, I wish they tried to be a little more desktop like than smartphone like, it has a micro hdmi which I can live with but it also has micro sdhc (not micro sdxc so it only supports up to 32gb) instead of a full size sd slot, and a micro usb...

I love this tablet. I have had no problems with it.It does everything I want

None so far

Windows 8 (not RT) ; Intel processor 1.8 dual core with proven power (1.2 dual core overclockable to 2.0 thru burst tech) ; ACER is a proven brand name

Still waiting for newegg to ship despite pre-ordering on Oct 26 ; Newegg product page says ETA Nov 11 until they get more ; Hoping that I recieve my tablet around Nov 11 will update review soon
