Tablets are light weight, easy to carry, good for entertainment on the move, makes it possible to surfer the internet from anywhere and for playing games. But when it comes to productivity many find it difficult to get the work done. The Acer Iconia Tab W500 makes this process much easier.  Be it work or entertainment Iconia W500 is all that you will need.

Almost all of the tablets that are available in the market run either on Apple IOS or the Google Android OS. But the Acer Iconia Tab W500 comes loaded with Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Well it does have the necessary hardware that is powerful enough to support the Windows 7 OS which many prefer. And this also makes the W500 unique as it is the first tablet of its kind to feature a Windows OS.

The Iconia Tab W500 weighs just 1 kg and dimension is 210x280mm (a little smaller than a magazine).  The multi touch screen is 10.1 inch and supports HD at 1280×800 resolutions.

The Acer Iconia Tab W500 comes with a full size keyboard that is dockable. The keyboard also features a USB port and an Ethernet port. You can use the W500 without the keyboard just like a tablet and when you want important work to be done just connect the dockable keyboard and what you get is full fledged PC.  This is really an exciting option and many would definitely agree that without a keyboard you simply cannot get your work done on time.
