Earlier this year we reviewed the horrible Acer Iconia W3 tablet, the first Windows 8 tablet to market at the 8-inch form factor.
This week, Acer has unveiled the second-generation model, the W4, which runs on the newly launched Windows 8.1.
Acer's latest has the same 8-inch display, but this time with a 1,280 x 800, optically bonded IPS display for improved anti-glare and daylight use.
Under the hood is a new Bay Trail processor at 1.8GHz which should improve performance significantly, and the tablet has 32GB internal storage, dual 2MP/5MP cameras, a microSD slot, a microHDMI port and a standard micro-USB port for charging.
Acer is also including a full copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 edition for productivity.
The tablet will go on sale later this month starting at $330.
