Acer Iconia Tab A500: The Review

Acer has been working hard but sometimes the work doesn’t get recognized to the level it should be. The same has happened with this tab maker. In the want to do things differently, you end up doing something which is not so adequate. Acer Iconia Tab A500 is an example of this. In a try to exceed, it exceeds in weight and size which is not at all the property of a tablet pc. Making this clear, I need to mention one more thing that though it lacks a specification, it also inhibits several others which makes it a forerunner among the greatest android honeycomb tablets in market.

 Hardware Specs

• It flaunts a 10.3” full HD display with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels.
• The processor which makes the usage of Tab A500 faster is an NVIDIA TEGRA 2, 1GHz one.
• 1 GB RAM is quiet optimum and is on the higher side for a tablet pc.
• A micro USB, plus a full sized USB port is a fatal combination which makes A500 different from other android tablets which have a single micro USB port.
• A 3.5 mm jack for audio output and mini HDMI port are the regulars.
• A micro SD slot and SIM card slot to access 3G connectivity.
• The 5MP primary camera and a 2MP secondary for video chats.

Pros of owning an Acer Iconia Tab A500

• You can interface anything you want to due to the availability of lots of ports.
• Connectivity made easier through WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth.

Cons of an Acer Iconia Tab A500

• The size and weight keep it away from the users who want a portable and easy to carry tablet pc.
• Phone calling is a constraint.
• With so many interfacing ports, the overall look of the tablet gets spoilt.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 is a nice purchase for people who want to rig up everything with their handy tablets but that is not why the tablet is made for on the first hand. Hope A100and A200 increases the market’s hope while selecting Acer’s tablets to sell and promote.

GG’s gadget rating: **1/2 stars (because of the inclusion of a full USB port).
