Verdict
The Archos 70b eReader is slow and awkward, with page buttons that wake it in your bag and drain the battery, so better options exist.

What customers don't like about Archos 70b 3G (512MB + 4GB)

  • Sluggish overall performance with noticeable lag during operation
  • Unreliable and inconsistent Wi-Fi connectivity reported by many users
  • Poor viewing angles on the screen, often leading to colour shift when tilted

Verdict

The Archos 70b 3G is a compact 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution capacitive touchscreen, an ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHz processor, and 512MB of RAM. Notable characteristics include its 4GB of internal flash storage, a microSD slot for expansion up to 32GB, and a built-in kickstand for hands-free media consumption. Its primary pros are its extremely lightweight design, inclusion of a mini HDMI output for TV connectivity, and full access to the Google Play Store on later firmware versions. However, the device is limited by significant performance lag, a mediocre VGA front-facing camera, and relatively short battery life compared to its competitors.
