Hey folks. Was in curreez and saw a win 7 tablet from acer and was wondering if it was any good or what ppl would recommend windows based.

Excuse spelling. On my phone.

Thanks :)
 
Would avoid Acer completely if going anywhere near a tablet. Their last generation of tablet PCs were awful and I wouldn't trust their build quality again.
 
Current Windows tablets are terrible unless you need a specific piece of software that only runs on Windows, even then your better off getting a netbook or notebook.

You'd be better off getting an iPad or an Android tablet, with the Galaxy Tab 10.1/8.9 and Asus Transformer being the best.

Windows 8 should be good for tablets, but that won't be released until the middle of 2012. You could get a Windows 7 tablet and install the Windows 8 Developer Preview on it, but as it's Alpha software and has very little software designed for it I would certainly not recommend it.

Oh and that shop is a competitor, you should probably remove it before a mod sees.
 
Took a look at the current W7 Acer the Aconia, it seems alright but its very heavy, seems very plastic and frankly compared to Android, iOS or the Playbook Windows 7 seems a nightmare to use touch screen only, Windows 8 next year looks like it could be a real force in tablets though.
 
Lesson learned! I will avoid. Any recommendations forsuitable tablet similar to kindle fire in size but with decent power for hd video,flash and good screen? So many ones out there its baffling. Thanks :)
 
Theres two 7" options (I think) Blackberry Playbook or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" - there is the older one still floating about but I believe there is a new Samsung 7" due soon which is basically a cut down version of the bigger 10" one.
