Verdict

The Acer Iconia Tab A700 is a 10.1-inch Android tablet distinguished as one of the first to feature a Full HD 1920 x 1200 resolution display, powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor (1.3 GHz) with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Its standout characteristics include a high pixel density of 224 PPI for sharp text, 3G connectivity in the A701 variant, and a substantial 9800 mAh battery that supports approximately 8 to 10 hours of video playback. Main pros involve the crisp, high-resolution screen suitable for HD media, the inclusion of micro-HDMI and microSD expansion (up to 64GB), and a comfortable rubberized back for a secure grip. However, notable cons include sluggish performance and occasional stuttering as the processor struggles to drive the high-resolution display, a relatively heavy and thick chassis, and mediocre 5MP rear and 1MP front cameras that lack an LED flash and perform poorly in low light.
