Verdict

The Archos 101 G9 is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 capacitive multi-touch display and a dual-core 1.0 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4 processor. This specific variant offers 8GB of internal flash storage and a microSDHC slot for expansion, alongside 512MB to 1GB of RAM depending on the regional configuration. Key characteristics include a built-in kickstand, mini-HDMI output, and a unique 3G expansion slot for an optional cellular stick. Its main pros are the smooth 1080p HD video playback, excellent connectivity options, and a virtually stock Android experience (upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich). However, it faces notable cons such as a plasticky build quality that can feel flimsy, the lack of a rear-facing camera, and occasional performance sluggishness due to limited memory.
