Does anyone have or know much about:

Acer Iconia W3-810 Tablet, Intel Atom, Windows 8
8.1", Wi-Fi, 64GB, Silver.

http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/NT.L1JEK.002

£299.

To good to be true?

It has window 8 so in the real world will it run all the stuff a windows pc runs?
ie- VLC player would be a normal download to watch ones own mkv files?

Yes, basically the hardware sucks and it has a rubbish screen. Wait for the next gen of devices that will be launched with Windows 8.1 prior to Christmas.

As above, looks good on paper but the quality sucks.

Although there is an improved model coming soon:

Never ever ever buy acer, they need to go bust asap.
1 android tablet(sister) and 1 windows tablet(parents). Both poor build qaulity and dont work properly, shocking CS .
Will never buy another acer product. Terribale company.

Luckily there looks like there will be a good deal of choice in the small tablet sector.

Asus ME400C has 300 before and is a lot better.
