Verdict

The Archos 101 Internet Tablet is a 10.1-inch Android 2.2 device featuring a 1024x600 capacitive multitouch display, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 256MB of RAM, and 16GB of internal flash storage. Its primary characteristics include a slim 12mm profile, a built-in adjustable kickstand, and extensive connectivity options such as a full-size USB host port, mini-HDMI output, and a microSDHC slot supporting up to 32GB. Main pros consist of its lightweight 480g design, versatile media codec support, and affordable price point for its size. However, significant cons include poor screen viewing angles, a lack of native access to the Google Play Store (using AppsLib instead), and sluggish performance due to its limited RAM.
