    Summary: Windows tablets have been around for years, in the form of slates and convertible laptops with touch-screen lids that rotate and fold down over the keyboard. To date, many of these have been disappointing, largely because they failed on either the...

    Conclusion: The Acer Iconia Tab W500 works in several potentially good ideas, undone by half-baked physical design that makes it needlessly frustrating to use.

    Pro : The Acer Iconia Tab W500 has a clever design that allows you to detach its Netbook-like screen for use as a standalone tablet

    Cons : The keyboard dock is a pain to connect or disconnect; you can't simply fold it shut like a laptop; and there's no touch pad, only a trackpoint stick

    Pro : A jack of all trades tablet, or almost ; A few touchscreen applications have been developed ; Good connectivity ; Windows 7 is flexible in comparison with mobile OS solutions ; Very nice screen contrast / good sound
