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.

I still really like using the A500 over having to use a normal laptop like I was before, it is just so much nicer that it is always on and I can just hit the power button and go! Still very happy with this purchase

Pros:
- Decent styling
- fast processor

- Heavy
- Honeycomb not to all tastes
- battery life not the best

Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A501
Conclusion The Acer Iconia Tab A500 has a lot going for it, most notably the relatively low price to feature ratio. Acer has made an attractive tablet that doesn't look the least bit cheap, and the features are largely on par with tier 1 brands like Motorola, Samsung and LG.
Pros:
- Con: Our unit turned itself on every minute or so
- can't play 1080p video
- unused slot is covered only by tape
Cons:
- Price: $449 for the A500 WiFi-only model
- $329 with AT&T contract, $479 without contract for AT&T A501 model

Hands-on Review: Acer Iconia Tab A500
Acer is just one of many companies playing its hand in the rapidly growing tablet space. But can any tablet actually overtake the Apple iPad for the number one position?

Excellent but incompleted
ACER ICONIA W500 is really good and has Windows 7. It is upgradable to WIN 8 and believe it works wonder in WIN8. It is a mini computer with touch facility. This TAB is good and friendly.
