The Acer Iconia Tab 8 is a simple -- but stylish -- budget tablet

The 8-inch Acer tablet comes loaded with a microSD card expansion slot and a micro-HDMI port.

The Acer Iconia Tab 8 has a slim build and stylish aluminum back. It has a microSD card slot and a micro-HDMI port. Performance is smooth when switching between apps.

Large games and apps are sluggish to load. You can't uninstall most of the pre-loaded software.

The Acer Iconia Tab 8 has the design edge for budget slates, but you can find a faster performing tablet in the same price range.

Acer Iconia Tab 8 W W1-810-16HN Tablet Review

Surfboard. Acer's Iconia Tab 8 W is an 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet available for around 150 Euros (~$169). The tablet features the same hardware as the competition: a bright IPS screen, a Bay Trail processor, 1 GB of working memory, and 32 GB of storage...

Bright IPS screen, Decent build, One-year license for MS Office 365 Personal, Good battery life

Acer Iconia Tab 8W hands-on review

There's little to say about design as the Tab 8W is a pretty standard tablet in this area. The back is made from plastic and compared to its Android counterpart, the Iconia Tab One 8, has a nice textured finish which provides good grip. The Android...

We understand the concept of Microsoft pushing Windows tablets at a cheaper price to make them more accessible to consumers but we can't avoid the fact that the OS is simply too difficult and fiddly on a screen this size.

Acer Iconia Tab 8 W review

(Rating Hidden)

The Acer Iconia Tab 8W is a budget, 8-inch Windows 10 tablet with 32GB of memory. Its price might turn heads, but will its performance? Acer's tablets haven't become Best Buys in recent years, so we were interested to get this model to the lab to see...
