Acer Iconia Tablet No. 1 – A100
If you are looking for a smaller tablet that maximizes portability, then the Asus Iconia a100 may be the tablet you were looking for. This tablet features a 7 “HD (1024 x 600) touch screen with an NVIDEA Tegra 2 dual-core processor. The Acer Iconia a100 also has one of the latest Android Honeycomb operating systems. The CPU allows for a good gaming experience and up to 4.5 hours of use without recharging.
Acer Iconia Tablet No. 2 – A500
This tablet is another great option, especially in the areas of price and features. This tablet is reasonably priced (cheaper than iPad and MOTOROLA XOOM) with many features that make for a good tablet experience. The a500 is very similar to the a100 but includes a 10.1 “HD screen with a larger viewing angle.
Acer Iconia Tablet No. 3 – W500
The latest advancement in the Acer Iconia series is the Acer Iconia w500. This tablet is unique in several ways that can influence your decision. First, the w500 does not run on the Android Honeycomb operating system. Instead, it uses the Windows 7 operating system, which makes for a very interesting experience that some users may prefer to do. In addition, this tablet features an expandable base that is becoming a priority in some of the best tablets on the market. This feature allows the user to use the tablet as a netbook at home, but still a tablet to go.
No tablet is perfect:
While each tablet is unique and can provide a great user experience, there are always issues to be aware of with any tablet. For the Acer Iconia a100, users don't like the small amount of viewing angle. Also, battery life isn't great for a 7 “tablet and if you're focusing on finding a tablet that's travel-friendly, you might not like the a100.
While the a500 offers a good experience in all respects, it exhibits typical Android wi-fi connection issues that appear to be weak compared to other multimedia devices. You may find this tablet to be extremely similar to the competitor's MOTOROLA XOOM, however the XOOM is more expensive but has been around longer.
While many would regard the w500's Windows 7 operating system as a pro, it could also be seen as a tablet scam. Windows 7 was not designed to be used as a touch screen operating system and this shows as the user experience diminishes. Also, the dock that was designed for the Acer Iconia w500 seems to cause frustration for some users. While the dock idea is great, if you're just looking for a tablet that offers this accessory, we recommend that you take a look at the Asus Transformer Prime.
