The Tech Report
writes details of an 8-inch Windows 8 tablet from Acer were leaked on the internet. To be called the Acer Iconia W3, the device features an Intel Atom Z2760 CPU, 2GB RAM, dual cameras, an optional keyboard dock and an optional foldable sleeve that can prop up the device in landscape mode.
Sadly, there's no word yet about the system's display resolution or pricing. The photos seem to show a 16:10 display aspect ratio, and MiniMachines.net suspects the presence of a 1280x800 panel. If that's the case, then the Iconia W3 could be fairly similar, specs-wise, to larger Windows 8 tablets on the market today. The most affordable one of those, Asus's 10.1" VivoTab Smart, sells for $429.99 at Newegg, so I somehow doubt we'll see the Iconia W3 sparring with the Nexus 7 at $199. A price tag closer to the $300 market seems more likely.
