Verdict

The Acer Iconia Tab A100 is a compact 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution display and running Android 3.2 Honeycomb. It is powered by a dual-core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSDHC slot. Key features include a 5MP rear autofocus camera with LED flash, a 2MP front camera, micro-HDMI output, and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n connectivity. Its main pros are a portable design that fits in a jacket pocket, solid multitasking performance for games and web browsing, and a versatile selection of ports. However, it suffers from significant cons, including very short battery life (often under 5 hours), poor screen viewing angles, and a relatively heavy build for its small size.
