Hello Everyone, I would like to say that I have just recently bought an Acer Iconia W500. This tablet is not just a tablet, it runs windows 7 and even comes with a dockable keyboard. I will post a video later on of how well it works, but let me say that it runs ZBrush wonderfully, and with the full touch screen, you can simply sculpt right on the screen. I was just on an airplane, and used it the whole fly back home. I recommend any artist to check it out.:D
Thanks man, I am looking around for a tablet at the moment. I think that’s definitely the way to go.
How is the battery life - using my Viao I can barely get an hour and a half out of it.

hey man looks cool the :
Acer ICONIA Tab W500 - 32 GB
but is it possible to install not 2 but 4gig of ram ?
Colleague of mine is using the Asus E-Slate. 4Gigs Ram, win7 and best of all comes with a pressure sensitive pen. Battery about 3 hours. But still. I envy anyone who can sculpt on a couch
The battery life is great! One day I got about 7 hours out of it. I can run it up very high on polygons and everything. And the Acer Iconia w500 is also a great computer in general for on the go. Sadly, I don’t know for sure whether or not you can upgrade the RAM, but I’m very surprised by how much power this thing can actually dish out without even getting hot.
Interested in AMD fusion. Are you able to post a video of the performance of the tablet with Zbrush and Sculptris?
AMD fusion is almost scary. When I turned on the tablet, I was worried it wouldn’t handle Zbrush but once I had it open, there was no lag at all, and I even kept subdividing. I will try to post a video in the next couple days
Cool, looking forward to the videos. I’m very tempted to getting one too.
