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.
