Guys, something I can not see the micro-HDMI is it or not? If not, then how to connect it to an external monitor or TV. By USB-adapters does not pull, the picture is lost. In my understanding, this is a universal device and it must be connected to the external screen once, twice, without any problems, or I am wrong. Otherwise, the meaning of this device is lost. Now in this regard, I use Acer W3 and very often I have to connect to an external screen for work and for me it is very important.

We passed everything, and the USB adapters are all this bullshit of poor quality goods, well, they don’t even pull the lowest video quality even if you crack the picture begins to fall after 5 minutes of viewing. No thanks, see for yourself.

Well, you know better) Fortunately, this port does not interest me at all.

WizardWise, Acer products have always suffered from low quality, unlike Dell.

WizardWise,
I agree about the warranty, but the site states that you can attach a warranty to another region
And as always, there are some nuances.

But this does not prevent small firms to carry it before. As it was with the iphone5s .. it only recently officially started selling

Officially, it will start selling on October 25.

Judging by the pictures, either one or 2 centimeters from each other under one protective net (which is not far from the first option!) ..

I'm thinking of buying this device.

It became interesting to what extent it is advisable to install Win 7 instead of Win 8 for this miracle ?!

P.S. I do not want to say that Win 8 is bad, I just don’t want to get involved with Metro.

the rest seems to be the most common.

Yes, and the example of Lenovo is there, there is an ordinary capacitive touch screen (which is used in almost all recently released tablets), it is quite accurate, unlike resistive (old sensors), but it is not adapted for active styluses, so a regular passive stylus is used ( and his touch accuracy is worse at times + the tip is thick, that is, you definitely can’t paint it, it can be used only in ordinary cases), by the way, I’m not aware of the exact digitizer put there, MB it recognizes the force of pressing, it’s just not lot. (but it's a lie)

WizardWise,
As for the speakers, everyone saves as much as they can (and the current line of tablets still shouts, we are cheap and affordable, but how exactly they reduced the cost - you need to look out for Pts carefully))). There are two options: Dell decided that sound quality is the last thing to think about when developing 8 "inch tablets, and this happened by chance on the basis of considerations (they won’t listen from such small speakers, so why strain), or they intentionally decided to cut costs like American Airlines in the case of the first olive, only here already with holes on the case for speakers and protective nets).
In general, judging by the cost and thickness, Toshiba encore took care of the quality of the iron better than others))). (well, or this is a strange marketing xs)

The current wines 8 uses an OEM subscription, they sew a license to the BIOS ... so, firstly, reinstalling Windows will be tough and not advisable (most likely you will lose the license and "money"), secondly, there may be problems with the drivers (+ 7 wines are a little sharpened under the touch-screen). But this is everyone's choice.

For me, in tablets one of the most important moments is weight and thickness, and here Toshiba did not take care of anyone (

Well takto da)) so it)). But there are definitely good speakers there))) ... with some kind of "Dolbi ..." And a full info will be released - it will be seen. Somehow there was already a discussion about the fact that in the encore they stuck a percent better, atom z3770 (1.5-2.4GHz), and not 3740d (1.3-1.8), which is why it is so thick and heavy, but for now this is just rumor and most likely not true.

IMHO, in this case, when it comes to one line, a causal relationship is better than the processor — a thicker device is missing.

Yes, I also think so. Just on some American site was info to sell, and it was indicated percent. But I think that the percentage will be like all z3470D.

skat1234,
Do not worry! Windows will be there 8.1 and that means:
1. the start button will be in place ..
2. the ability to immediately download the desktop, bypassing the "tiles" ..

I looked at the Toshiba Encore feature and noticed an interesting little thing ->headphone x microphone combo jack.

Interestingly, does this device have it?



Rep: (1)
skat1234,
Everywhere, where one 3.5 jack mic + headphones are combined ..
and rarely 2 separate ones .. and this device is exactly one option.

those. "or either"!
combo does not mean "simultaneously" in the sense of use. This is only a technical performance.
