Acer One 10 Windows 8.1 tablet with keyboard can be had for just $199.99
Just like with Windows Phones, Windows tablets seem to be most-attractive when they offer great value for money. There are exceptions, like Microsoft's Surface Pro 3, but generally speaking that means good hardware with a low price tag. And if there is anything extra thrown into the mix, you have a winner.
Acer's One 10 Windows 8.1 slate offers plenty of value at the $199.99 price point. It features a large touchscreen, solid internals, and, last but not least, a free keyboard in the box. That last part adds plenty of value, making it easy for One 10 to double as a small laptop replacement. And that is not all.
One 10 also comes with a one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal, which, if purchased individually, normally costs $69.99. Basically, for $199.99, it comes with all the right features for those shopping in this segment. With the keyboard attached, the tablet can be used in four different modes, depending on orientation.
One 10 has a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 by 800. The latter specification may not impress anyone nowadays, but at this price point, and given the other aforementioned features, it is hard to complain about it.
The slate is powered by a 1.33 GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F processor, with 2 GB of RAM, and a 2,670 mAh battery. It also comes with 32 GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot for expansion. There are two USB ports on the side, and the usual connectivity features (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). One 10 also comes with two 2 MP cameras, on the front and back.
Needless to say, One 10 will be upgradable to Windows 10, once the operating system becomes available later this month. It is available from Best Buy.
