Acer Iconia W3 is the first 8-inch Windows 8 tablet
Acer has unveiled the world's first 8-inch Windows 8 tablet, the Iconia W3.

Introduced today at Computex, the device has a 1,280 x 800 display, is powered by a dual-core 1.8GHz Atom Z2760 processor, has 32GB internal storage (likely only half of which will be usable due to Windows 8 installation files), weighs 1.1 pounds and is about 0.48-inches thick.



Acer is including a full version of Office 2013 free, and an optional full-sized keyboard will retail for $79-$89 (unclear as of yet), making the device very good for productivity and portability.

Additionally, there are dual camera, Bluetooth 4.0, a microUSB port, microHDMI, and a microSD slot.

The device will sell for $379, and is available for pre-order tomorrow at a number of retailers including Amazon. The device is set for release the last week of June.

    Holy crap.

    Witness the destruction of the Surface RT's hopes and dreams ^^' ...

    Edit --> Said "Surface Pro" at 1st; durhurr.

    If OEMs can get the "Pro" version of these tablets up and running at a better price point, suddenly the idea doesn't seem so silly.
