THIS IS ICONIA !
Fellow Spartans ,or should that be Iconians ? today thegameveda is really pushing boundaries ,perhaps not of hardware reviewing but of one handed games playing whilst filming , and this beast of a dual screen tablet is almost impossible to film with two hands . So forgive the gaming skillz and handwriting on show :
Today's test also gives me a chance to see how onlive fairs on the Acer Iconia , so immediately we are pushing the wifi , there is a 50 meg connection linked to the Iconia in these videos .
Onlive if you did not already know is one of the greatest things to happen in the history of games , instant no install streamed gaming , sounds impossible but it works .
Onlive makes the hardware your packing irrelevant , in fact in the time it will take gaming PCs to download some of today's larger games ,your onlive gamer will have most likely completed the game , thanks to the 0 install instant run nature of onlive .
When you play Assassins Creed Brotherhood using onlive you are playing the game at ultra settings that usually require an elite pc , but thanks to the wonder of streamed gaming your GPU and CPU are largely irrelevant. Lag does not exist to any noticeable extent.
So if you are worried about the intel gpu in the Iconia , don't , thanks to the cloud you will be able to play full spec PC games on anything with a fast enough broadband connection .
And the Iconia also comes with an ethernet port , just in case your wifi isn't up to scratch.
I have been testing out AAA pc games on onlive on the humble joojoo tablet for months , so I expected it to work fine on the Iconia , what I did not expect was the ability to mess around in the second screen without the game shutting down in the first . Not only that but I can interact with games now in a different way , thanks to the scrapbook I can pull pieces of the game , mess around with them and draw in real time on the lower screen whilst the game continues to run in the first . I have a multi monitor setup on my desktop , but it cannot do this ..
In the highly technical test I used every method to control the game , external keyboard , mouse , 360 joypad, this should show you a) you can play any AAA game thanks to onlive the gpu in any laptop or desktop is rendered moot by streaming tech like Onlive , and b) the Iconia is one powerful device when it comes to multitasking , even this is being typed in the bottom scren whilst I edit and play back the youtube video you are about to see in the top screen.
The Acer Iconia is not just a powerful multitasking device it is a multi screening device , in small enough form factor to free you from those desktop shackles
It provides a unique gaming and work experience , and did I mention it looks gorgeous ..?
more to follow..
get your Acer Iconia
