Welcome to another Good e-Reader Video Comparison! Today we look at the first Windows 8 tablet in the world that features a 8.1 inch screen running Windows 8, the Iconia W3 and the Apple iPad.
Our video documents the hardware features and directly compares how the specs look on paper. Obviously, the specs are similarly aligned, and is really not that indicative to the overall performance. We put these devices through the paces under real world circumstances. We directly compare the app stores and cite different reasons why we feel that Windows 8, as an ecosystem has dramatically improved since it first launched. Also, when it comes to watching videos, screen resolution and speaker quality is very important. The iPad Mini we found, blows the Acer out of the water, when it comes to a solid audio experience. We also look at gaming and using them both as an e-Reader.
