Verdict

The Archos 101 Neon is a budget-oriented 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution capacitive display and running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It is equipped with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal flash storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), and a quad-core processor designed for basic multitasking and media consumption.
