Acer Iconia A500
What should a tablet computer look like? If this question has you imagining Apple's iPad, then you're not alone; it seems as though you share this concept with Acer's design team.
Pros:
- Solid performance
- Loads of connectivity options including USB and HDMI
Cons:
- Too heavy to hold for long periods
- Glossy screen is hard to read outdoors
- Average battery life

Acer Iconia A500 review: Acer Iconia A500
With HDMI and USB ports, Acer's A500 is more business friendly than the competition, but these features only add to its weight and ultimately makes this tablet too heavy to use as intended. What should a tablet computer look like? If this question has you imagining Apple's iPad, then you're not alone; it seems as though you share this concept with Acer's design team. The A500 sports a 10.1-inch display up front, surrounded by cool, grey brushed metal in a shade slightly darker than that chosen by the Cupertino designers. Unlike the iPad, the A500 is littered with ports and switches around the edge of the tablet, offering connectivity options unknown to anyone who has bought a tablet before now.
Pros:
- Solid performance. Loads of connectivity options including USB and HDMI.
Cons:
- Too heavy to hold for long periods. Glossy screen is hard to read outdoors. Average battery life.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review: Acer Iconia Tab A500
Acer's Iconia Tab offers the features of the Motorola Xoom at iPad-beating prices but weighs in as the heftiest Android tablet yet.
Pros:
- The Acer Iconia Tab offers Android Honeycomb (upgradable to Android 4.0) on a 10.1-inch screen along with GPS, front and rear cameras, Adobe Flash compatibility, full-size USB host port, HDMI output, and a reasonable price.
Cons:
- The Iconia Tab is thick, and one of the heaviest consumer tablets we've seen. Some locally stored HD video files wouldn't play properly.

"Acer A500 - Fantastic product"
I'd been toying with the idea of buying a tablet PC for some time, as my old laptop had seen better days. I'd spent hours playing with ipads and various other tablets before I came across the Acer A500. My initial thought was that an Acer product would be inferior to other "Name Brands".
Pros:
- ease of use
- look & feel
- speed
- durability
Cons:
- video playback not the best

The screen graphics are very good, and the control system is very responsive - but can be fooled if a thumb holding the side of the screen rests on the screen. The protective case is very good, and makes holding the tablet even more commfortable and secure.
Pros:
- Comfortable to hold and use
- Voice input (a very neat addition) is quite precise - unless it picks up the TV sound as well..
