Third-party reviews

What customers like about Acer Iconia W510-1674 (2GB + 32GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often exceeding 8-10 hours as a tablet and up to 18 hours with the optional keyboard dock.
  • Extremely light and portable, with the tablet weighing approximately 1.27 lbs, making it easy to carry.
  • Runs full Windows 8, allowing it to support legacy desktop applications unlike Windows RT competitors.
  • High-quality IPS display with wide viewing angles and good color saturation.
  • Innovative hinge design on the dock allows for a 295-degree rotation, doubling as a stand.
  • Silent and fanless operation due to the power-efficient Intel Atom processor.

What customers don't like about Acer Iconia W510-1674 (2GB + 32GB)

  • Underpowered Intel Atom processor leads to sluggish performance, slow app loading, and poor multitasking.
  • Limited to 2GB of RAM, which is insufficient for more demanding desktop software or heavy web browsing.
  • Cramped keyboard dock layout with shrunken keys that make long-form typing difficult.
  • Small, erratic touchpad that lacks support for multitouch gestures like two-finger scrolling.
  • Limited storage on the base model (32GB), with a significant portion occupied by the OS.
  • Top-heavy design when docked, making it prone to tipping backward.
  • Graphics performance is inadequate for even low-end modern gaming.

Verdict

The Acer Iconia W510-1674 is a highly portable 10.1-inch Windows 8 tablet powered by an 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. It features a crisp 1366 x 768 IPS multi-touch display protected by Gorilla Glass 2, an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, and a 2MP front-facing camera for 1080p video. Main pros include its exceptionally long battery life of approximately 9 hours (extendable up to 18 hours with an optional keyboard dock), a lightweight 1.2-pound chassis, and the ability to run full x86 desktop applications rather than being limited to mobile apps. However, it is hindered by an underpowered processor that struggles with multitasking or intensive software, limited internal storage that fills up quickly, and a lack of full-sized ports on the tablet itself, requiring adapters for standard USB or HDMI connections.
