As you can see, the keyboard of the Acer Iconia W3 is more than slightly larger than its 8-inch tablet screen.
The full QWERTY keyboard of the Acer Iconia W3 is similar in dimension to a 11-inch Acer Aspire S7, when loosely compared.
Some noteworthy specs of the Acer Iconia W3, including an HDMI port and 8-hour battery life.
