Verdict

The Acer Iconia Tab A200 is a budget-focused 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution display and an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor paired with 1GB of RAM. This specific model provides 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot (up to 32GB), and runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the unique 'Acer Ring' interface for multitasking. Its main characteristics include a full-size USB 2.0 port—a rarity that allows for easy file transfers—and a grippy, soft-touch rubberised back for better handling. Pros include its affordable price point, solid connectivity options, and decent 8-hour battery life for media playback. However, it suffers from several cons, such as being relatively thick and heavy (approx. 715g), lacking a rear-facing camera and HDMI port, and having a display with mediocre brightness and viewing angles compared to more premium IPS screens.
