Verdict

The Archos 101 XS is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 resolution display and an ultra-slim 8mm profile. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4470 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Its standout characteristic is the included magnetic 'Coverboard' that functions as both a protective screen cover and a physical QWERTY keyboard. Main pros include its lightweight design, strong multimedia format support, and the value added by the bundled keyboard. However, common cons include a relatively dim display with limited viewing angles, mediocre battery life, the absence of a rear-facing camera, and a somewhat flimsy build quality for the docking mechanism.
