Reviewers Didn't Like

  • A bit pricier than rivals. No GPS. No 3G/4G/LTE. Lots of bloatware
  • The clunky plastic design does the W4 no favors, and it's thicker and heavier than many other Windows tablets. The screen resolution feels dated compared to a growing number of HD-or-better tablets
  • Ergonomics for business productivity could be better, Short on internal storage, Not suitable for demanding workloads
  • Not for power users, Few interfaces, Short Wi-Fi range
  • Slightly bulky compared to other 8-inch Windows tablets, Subpar speakers
  • Lousy camera and speakers. Disappointing display resolution. Bloatware. Uninspiring design
  • Heftier than 8-inch competition, Lackluster camera, Speakers a bit soft
