Acer has unveiled the Iconia W3, the industry’s first full-featured 8.1-inch tablet running Windows 8.

At $380 (available on Amazon), Iconia W3 is powered by Intel Atom and 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 32 GB flash memory, 2GB RAM memory, 8-hour battery life and weighs about 540 grams.

The Windows mini tablet comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 and has a display of 1280x800 pixels.

“With the Iconia W3, Acer is giving the millions of students, consumers and professionals who create, read, work and play in the Windows environment a single-handed device that does it all,” said Luca Rossi, vice president, consumer business unit, Acer Europe.

The device pairs with an optional full-size Bluetooth keyboard that mirrors the size of those found on larger 13.3-inch notebooks, making it easy to use.

The tablet has a front- and rear-facing 2MP camera.

It has a micro-HDMI port and a micro-USB port and is available with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. Users can expand the storage with an additional 32GB via microSD.
