IT docs’ prescription for yuppies: Acer Iconia W4

MANILA, Philippines - Working while on the go has always been about bringing smaller devices that can provide the most basic functions to help you with your everyday tasks — sending and receiving e-mails, presenting documents, taking pictures and going online for a quick research or update on your social networks. Bringing your laptop may have become too bulky to carry the whole day, which causes others to bear shoulder or wrist pains.

The so-called “mobile handhelds,” on the other hand, are getting more attention because of their practical use, plus the fact that they are small enough to carry around but still big enough to view files comfortably. The only drawback is they are still limited in terms of functionality because they cannot do much of what laptops can.

Fortunately, there’s no need to wait for years to have a device that can function perfectly well whenever and wherever you want to. Global tech giant Acer offers a device that offers more when it comes to convenience and functionality.

The Acer Iconia W4 2-in-1 netbook is compact, easy to carry, comfortable to read and browse and can work and play on the go — something students and young professionals can use for their academic and work needs. With an eight-inch wide screen, the Acer Iconia W4 is small enough to be held by one hand and still big enough for fine and comfortable viewing.

It runs on Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 8.1, enabling the Acer Iconia W4 to perform work related tasks and provide for your entertainment needs impressively. With its Intel Bay Trail 1.33Ghz CPU and LPDDR3 1067Mhz 2GB, you get cutting-edge performance while using less battery power.

With pre-installed full versions of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 edition, which includes popular Microsoft applications like PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and OneNote, students and professionals alike can do their tasks even while on the move.

You don’t even need to worry with file storage despite its somewhat diminutive size because the Acer Iconia W4 has its built-in cloud storage, the Acer SkyDrive, which functions as the default location for saving your documents. With the Acer Iconia W4, you can manage both local and SkyDrive storage in one place.

Unlike other touch devices, one of the key features of the Acer Iconia W4 netbook is that it has incredibly clear visuals because of its “Zero Air Gap” technology, which reduces light reflection by directly binding the LCD module and touch panel.

Its micro USB 2.0 port, meanwhile, enhances flexibility and productivity with work and its HDMI micro port enables your work, presentations and entertainment to be shared on big screens. And for a faster typing experience, the Acer Iconia W4 comes bundled with a portable full-sized Acer crunch keyboard for those who may prefer looking — and typing — on an actual one.

And since these are times when self-expression is given utmost importance, the Windows 8.1 OS of the Acer Iconia W4 allows its users to personalize their start-up screen with their own style, customizing it depending on their personality and ease of usage when it comes to accessing applications.
