looking at 2 tablets Acer Iconia W3-810 64gb and a Lenovo Idea Tab k3011 which one to buy? Surf web, Facebook, check email, play small games like Facebook games and card games.

another one looking at is Samsung Galaxy Tablet II 10.1" 16GB

The viewing angles on Acer tab are not good along with a lot of glare. Using it outside in the sun is difficult compared to other tabs.It also occasionally gets hot (95F). It also does not use the the traditional micro-USB for charging instead has its own proprietary power jack.On the other hand its battery life is impressive, a free copy of Office 2013 Home & Student (full versions of Excel, PowerPoint, Word and OneNote that run on the desktop and looks very good on its screen)

The Ideapad has only a single camera. But it has a good screen with +/- 85 degrees of viewing angle (Acc. to manufacturer). There PC Mark 7 scores are almost the same. Its battery on the other hand lasted just at about 6 hours almost 3 hours less than Iconia. Lenovo claims that the optional keyboard dock will double the battery life but still.

So I would suggest you to got with the Ideapad. The iconia has a proprietary power jack ( Which will annoy you in some point of its life) , and its screen's viewing angles are not at all great (Its a tab you need a decent viewing angle). But if the battery life is your main requirement then go look for alternatives like HP Envy x2 or Dell Latitude 10.

The HP envy is a little out of price range. 400 is very max I'd like to spend.
Also could any of these use external passport HD
