    I also like the windows experience. thanks to their huge price drop I was able to afford for me a lumia 1520 and for my wife lumia 1320. its been smooth sailing ever since. the update from 8 to 8.1 I did in under 25 mins.

    the 1320 has only a DUAL core, 1gig of ram, 8gig internal and up to 64 gig external. with windows 8.1 all the apps and files can be saved to the external storage except around 8 apps that needs to be in the phone like music, video, fb messenger. its fast considering its ram is 30% used for the 8 apps and im satisfied with it. Microsoft hit the spot on the 8.1 update. I just wish we had cortana in asia.some friends did install a cortana by changing their location setting to US which is I think is not worth it.

    the above acer has quadcore which is more faster.

    with windows you really need to know your basic tech skills.

      Correct me if i’m wrong, but doesn’t this tablet run on FULL Windows 8.1? That is completely different from the windows phone os which runs on your 1520 and 1320…

      1GB more ram would be good though. Windows 8/8.1 will eat your 1GB of ram leaving nothing for other apps. :(
