I've got a permanent we are here take a look at the acer iconia w510 this is one of those new breed of products that part laptop part tablet some people call it a hybrid we tend to call these detachable because of course the screen detaches just like this and when you hold it up like this it's a Windows 8 tablet now unlike some of the other windows 8 tablets that we've checked out this actually runs the intel atom processor that is a sequel to the process as you used to find in those little inexpensive netbook style computers it's more powerful the battery life is better now but they also charge a lot more netbooks for maybe three hundred dollars this combination right here of the tablet screen and the keyboard which includes an additional battery in it is about seven hundred and fifty dollars which is frankly a lot though when you consider that you can get some very nice ultrabooks with full intel core i series CPUs for about the same price that said for casual web surfing and everyday use the atom is fine and the touchscreen is pretty responsive for a low power system when you rotate it the screen orientation changes nice and quick the keyboard is a little bit small this is a 10 inch screen so you're not going to be able to pack a very big keyboard into it the keys are kind of shallow is still fairly decent for accurate typing touchpad also very small you're really going to find yourself relying a lot more untighten the touchscreen that maybe you would on a full-size machine the one thing that kept this from being a particular productive system for me is that all the ports and connections which are mostly right up here on the screen are micro versions you have micro HDMI micro USB micro SD card slot so you're going to have to carry some adapters around with you if you want to plug some stuff in on a regular basis that said battery life is excellent when you combine both the battery in the keyboard and the better in here this thing actually ran for about 13 hours which is pretty amazing i'm dan akron and that is the acer iconia w510
