The Acer Iconia Tab A510 was a decent tablet , but the screen was lame . The unexampled Acer Iconia Tab A700 is essentially the precise same tablet , but with a 1080p blind . Purty ! But how do those surplus picture element bear on the performance ?
What Is It?
A 10.1 - column inch 1920 x 1200 lozenge function Android 4.0 ( Ice Cream Sandwich ) on Nvidia ’s 1.3GHz quad - core Tegra 3 processor .
Who’s it For?
This affair was built for movie observance .
Design
The 16×10 screen is the same size as the A510 . It ’s thicker than the Transformer Prime or the iPad . There is a micro HDMI out , a micro USB out , a decent duet of Dolby speakers , and a rubber back .
Using It
The Tegra 3 powers through most use , but it does struggle in places the A510 did n’t . The screenland is better than the first two iPads ( and the A510 ) , but not as sharp as the new iPad showing .
The Best Part
Got ta go with the screen . It ’s really pretty . The whites are whiter , the blacks are deeper , and the colour really pop .
Tragic Flaw
The extra pixels slow down the overall experience . It feels slower than the A510 , even if the benchmarks measure them as even .
This Is Weird…
The touch screen response lags and misstep . This could be you your animation ( in a TV game ) .
Test Notes
The 9800 mAh Li - polymer battery gets insane standby times and over 10 hour of usage .
fiddle the game Oscura on the A510 was smooth , but on the A700 it seems to flirt at half amphetamine . release presses get omit . It turns into a bloodbath .
The optional protective casing is squeamish — it wo n’t mechanically turn the screen off like the iPad ’s does , but it ’s thin and grippy .
Acer put a twist on Ice Cream Sandwich by add together the Acer Ring ( pictured ) , a customizable crosscut catapult that you may pop up from anywhere in the UI . It ’s pretty , but you ’ll almost certainly never practice it .
At 1.43 pounds , it ’s lighter than the A510 , but it still is n’t light . At .43 column inch , the thickness feels heavy . It ’s blocky , and not fun to hold on the subway .
It arrive with a little micro USB - to - USB adapter so you could plug in a parachuting drive , or a USB keyboard or mouse . Handy , mayhap ?
Acer load up this thing up with lots of bloatware — close to a dozen programs you ’ll credibly never expend . It ’s enough to make a brand new tablet calculate cluttered right out of the box .
The strait it produce is middling good . Definitely better than the Transformer Prime . At least the talker are on unlike side .
Should You Buy It?
Probably a passing . What the A700 clear in screen quality it seems to have lose in performance , keeping it mighty at the three genius ranking . At $ 450 , it ’s certainly not the bad manage out there , but theNexus 7is only $ 200 — and larder smooth by comparison .
