I doubt it if any one has purchased it.

May be no members of @TDF, but quite a lot of people has purchased it with maximum +ve response/reviews.
In fact in the future,if any Notion Ink Cain 2 releases with say FHD screens or more modification, it's a sure buy for me.:wink:

Acer w4 820 ,has no 3G sim slot,no extra keyboard and cover,not a 10.1" tablet.
Does not compete with Notion Ink Cain,Iball Slide WQ149,Swipe Ultimate 2-in-1 tablet.

For me(again I reiterate,For ME ONLY) in the world of Tablet-PC's,Brand value does not matter.My personal subjective opinion,no hard feelings bros.

If you have android phone there is no need for 3 g sim slot. But it has extra gig of ram and has much more higher build quality compared to Indian brands

Build quality is really great for acer tablets,no doubt on that. But the Notion Ink Tablets are no crap either. Yes the 8" Notion Ink Cain do have only 1GB RAM,but the 2-in-1 series(Hybrid) from Notion Ink,iBall and Swipe all have 2GB RAM on their products.

Yup, notion ink Cain 10 is quite awesome in that aspect. But I wish it could be priced at around 15k range

Its good to see a Indian company manufacture a quality product. I hope the government take measures to nurture Indian tech companies. I am hoping that it will go for 15k this gosf

100 plus posts on lowyat on acer w4. Check faor screen backlight bleed before registering acer and activating office. After registering with acer and updating acer upgrades, the tab is hanging, needing hard reset with pinhole. Famous acer quality!

Toshiba encore slashed to 14 k, Amazon India.

Where is the baclkloight bleeding from?

First impression:

Postives
  1. Solid build quality
  2. The display is sharp and looks good
  3. Performance is soild, 5 hours oif usage and there were no crashes or bugs
  4. Crunch cover is included for free
  5. Free office
  6. Games like FEZ dear esther and Back to the future games ran with respectable frame rate

Negatives
  1. With brightness at 100% and i na fully dark room, the back light bleeding is quite horrible
  2. Heavy
  3. low speaker volume

PICS:
Dat Backlight bleed
