Verdict

The Archos 101 G9 HDD Turbo is a specialized 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a Texas Instruments OMAP 4 dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz and 1GB of RAM. It is distinguished by its 16GB of flash storage combined with an additional storage capacity that supports full 1080p HD video playback on its 1280x800 resolution capacitive touchscreen. Key characteristics include a built-in kickstand, a mini HDMI output, and a unique 3G expansion slot for an optional cellular dongle. While it offers excellent media format compatibility and loud internal speakers, common criticisms include a cheap-feeling plastic build quality, noticeable lag during multitasking, and a lack of a rear-facing camera.
