Verdict

The Archos 80 Cesium is a budget-friendly 8-inch tablet originally running Windows 8.1, powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735G processor (up to 1.83 GHz) with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It features an IPS LCD display with a 1280x800 resolution, a 4000mAh battery, and essential connectivity including Micro HDMI, Micro USB with OTG support, and a microSD slot expandable up to 128GB. Main advantages include its highly affordable price point for a full Windows experience, solid build quality for its class, and the inclusion of a 1-year Microsoft Office 365 subscription. However, the device is significantly hindered by its limited 1GB of RAM which causes multitasking lag, and the 16GB storage is almost entirely consumed by the operating system, leaving very little room for additional applications.
