Unannounced Acer Iconia W4 tablet appears in video

The Acer Iconia W3 tablet brought Windows 8 to an 8.1 inch slate for the first time. The tablet was first discovered earlier this year and launched during the summer. While it has yet to be announced, a video of a tablet called the Acer Iconia W4 820 has been spotted. This is allegedly a sequel to the W3. According to a published report, improvements with the new model are seen with the IPS LCD display and with the silicon inside the slab. Under the hood is a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom Z3740 processor. The resolution on the 8.1 inch screen is 1200 x 800, which matches the specs on the original model.

The Acer Iconia W4 is expected to have 2GB of RAM and the 32GB of native storage leaves 16GB of room for personal use. The back and front cameras weigh in at 5MP and 2MP respectively, and the keyboard dock that works on the Acer Iconia W3 will work on the new model. The tablet is expected to come to market priced at 329 EUR. The slate is powered by Windows 8.1 and offers a free version of Office 2013 Home & Student Edition.

We have no idea when the model will be available, but looking at the video we'd say that it probably won't be too far before the tablet is unveiled and then launched.
