If I install android on my w700, would I loss my warranty?

I found I can flash w700 with android. But I am afraid I will void the warranty if I do so.

Can anyone help me?

I'm guessing yes though you would have to read the warranty. I would also guess you will get no service from Acer with the wrong system on it. Further, unless you have a sure way to reflash to the old system you would be stuck with Android.

Why not buy a cheap android tablet :-)

The w700 has x86 hardware architecture (Intel Core i5). Android only runs on ARM architecture, doesn't it?

No, there are versions of Android for x86 architecture processors too. I'm not too sure I'd be comfortable loading one on a W700 though. I am not sure there'd be appropriate drivers to keep things cool.

I have installed the Android IA from here https://01.org/android-ia/

I used the interactive installer, it lets me specify whether I want to dual-boot, and how much space for Android. The partition spaces are unreadable on each other OS, so file transfer isnt as easy as you might think.

The problem is when you want to remove the Android. The Windows partition space won't expand back. Luckily, I only gave Android less than 500MB
