Acer One 10 WiFi (4GB + 32GB) Review | 168 Data compared

The 10-inch Acer Aspire One is a budget-focused netbook featuring a 10.1-inch, 1,024-by-600 resolution display and the Intel Atom platform, aiming to provide core functionality at an aggressive price point. Its primary pros include exceptional battery life (highlighted by a six-cell option) and high portability. However, a key issue noted is a potential battery shortage leading to inconsistent, lower-capacity batteries in some units.

The Acer Aspire One 10.1" (AOD150) is described as a solid, affordable upgrade over its 8.9-inch predecessor, featuring a 10.1-inch screen, improved touchpad, and weighing under three pounds. Powered by an Intel Atom N270 processor, the netbook is suitable for basic tasks and offers good portability, with a 6-cell battery option that keeps the unit lightweight while providing around 4.5 hours of real-world use. However, the device struggles with heavy multitasking and high-definition video, with notable downsides including an 89% scale keyboard and the lack of Bluetooth.

The Acer Iconia One 10 is an affordable $150 budget tablet that stands out for its impressive battery life, lasting over 9 hours in Laptop Mag's web-surfing test. However, the device features a thick, heavy plastic design and underperforms with a dim 266-nit display and slow performance due to only 1GB of RAM. While the included Iconia app suite provides decent multitasking tools, the tablet is plagued by poor audio quality, weak cameras, and significant stuttering, making the Lenovo Tab 2 A10 a suggested alternative.

The TechRadar review of the 2017 Acer Iconia One 10 positions it as an affordable, media-centric tablet boasting a sharp 10.1-inch IPS display (1200 x 1920 resolution) and capable, front-facing speakers. While offering excellent 5GHz Wi-Fi connectivity for streaming, its performance is limited by a MediaTek chipset and 2GB of RAM, leading to sluggishness in, and, and gaming. Despite practical design elements, the device suffers from an average six-hour battery life, poor camera quality, and a tendency to heat up during extended use. Copy

The Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-20 is a "cheap and cheerful" 10.1-inch Android tablet, offering solid value for under £200 despite a basic plastic build and 520g weight. It features 32GB of internal storage, a 1280 x 800 TFT display, and an exposed, aesthetic-driven microSD slot. Powered by a 1.3 GHz MediaTek processor with 1GB of RAM, the tablet offers slick performance, smooth navigation, and surprising graphics capability for the price. A key addition is the micro-HDMI port, which allows for easy TV connectivity for media consumption. Running a near-stock Android 4.4 KitKat with added "Touch WakeApp" gestures, the software is responsive, though hampered by significant, non-uninstallable bloatware. Despite mediocre cameras, it remains a strong, large-screen budget option.

The Acer Iconia Tab 10 (A3-A40) is positioned as a budget-friendly, media-centric tablet featuring a 10.1-inch 1080p display and a quad-speaker system with DTS audio, providing an excellent, loud audio-visual experience for the price. While offering good media performance, the tablet's limitations include a flimsy construction prone to flexing, and a 1.5GHz MediaTek processor with 2GB of RAM that struggles with high-end gaming, serving better as a family, casual-use device. Key features include Micro HDMI connectivity, a MicroSD slot, and a dedicated Kids Mode, though it is hampered by an older Micro-USB port and mediocre cameras.
