Looking for a Windows 8 Tablet

Hi all

I need to advice.

I'm looking to buy a tablet for ideally no more than £300. Key thing is it needs to be windows 8 (or atleast be able to use an ANT+ USB stick which connects to a garmin device and the trainer road bike program)

So far I've found the Acer Iconia W3 - any thoughts on this?

Or are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't go for the W3 now as there are a few new Windows 8.1 tablets due out soon such as the Dell Venue 8 pro and Venue 11 pro, Toshiba Encore, Asus T100 and the successor to the W3, the Acer Iconia W4.

Thanks for the reply, those new ones look interesting, especially if the price is right!

Or you may be able to save a few ££s and pick up a Dell Latitude 10 still - decent machine, meets your requirements and will likely be cheaper?

Picked up a T100 for myself in the week and have been playing around with it a bit yesterday and today. Got some videos of my testing with it here: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrueComputing

Gaming performance won't exactly blow you away, but for a little 2w tablet chip its not bad!

In a lot of ways I prefer it as a cheap laptop than a tablet, I'm not 100% sold on any 16:9 aspect ratio tablets.
