[Tom T]

here is the version with the better screen..... http://ideum.com/redefined/

It is amazing that a little thing like an improved screen completely changes my perception of the device ;-)

If I only had an extra $10k laying around

That looks amazing! I'm going to get one of these. I love the way it fits in with the keyboard! Very convenient!

Hi Tom, can you do me a little favor? Will you install PC Benchmark from the Windows Store, run it on the W3 and post the screenshot of the result?

Thank you very much Tom. I would like to see how different it is to the RT and I find it interesting that CPU isn't far apart, 28.18 vs. 28.93 (my RT) but the RAM makes a huge difference.

I've never actually benchmarked my RT, but that is interesting.

According to Engadget the refreshed W3 will be thinner and lighter (hopefully they won't compromise on battery size and life to help achieve this), and possibly have an IPS display, and will be available sometime in September. Hopefully by then there will be some competition as well.

I'm considering the ACER to replace my iPad Mini. I'm just NOT a hater of Windows 8. The interface with aps is nice and the switch to desktop is seamless. I currently have a Surface RT 64 gig. My brother has a RT and a Pro because he oversees an IT department. He likes the RT better because of the weight.

My iPad mini has weak WiFi sometimes while none of my other devices have that problem. Have you experienced that? I may replace it with the updated acer. We'll see... Pics and specs of the new nexus 7 hit the web yesterday... That sounds good too!
