The Acer Inconia Tab W500 looks good on paper offering both power and flexibility at a reasonable price, but a bulky body and control issues stop it from being as attractive as alternatives - netbooks, ultra-portable laptops and Android tablets.

The problem for Acer is its choice of operating system - Windows 7 wasn't designed for use on a tablet, and it really shows. You only need look at a tablet running Android or an iPad running iOS to see how it should be done - and it's nothing like this. We understand the sentiment, but if you need this level of compatibility, you should really be using a notebook, or a desktop and uploading your files onto a cheaper, more usable tablet than this.

The final comedown is the price. Acer is charging a massive £530 inc VAT for this hybrid, or £450 for the weighty tablet alone. To put that into context, an equivalent AMD netbook costs £300, an iPad 2 £399, and Dell's Inspiron Duo netbook/tablet hybrid - which had the same software weaknesses, but did a better job on the hardware - can be had for £450. We applaud Acer for trying to innovate, and with a redesign this concept could be made to work, but as it stands the Iconia Tab W500 offers the worst, rather than the best, of both worlds.
