Feature set summary for Acer Iconia A100 review
This is a Wi-Fi-only device, so you may want to look at a more expensive alternative. Also, there isn't much in the way of onboard apps, so you'll need to download your own choices. However, it does a neat job of things such as contacts and email and has usable front and rear-facing snappers - for a price of around £250.
Style and handling summary for Acer Iconia A100 review
The A100 is quite heavy but has a neat shape that allows it to fit inside a jacket pocket
Battery power summary for Acer Iconia A100 review
You should get around eight hours from a full charge, which is fine if you're running apps such as Skype or logging into Twitter, but for power-hungry tasks such as viewing videos, the power will drain far quicker.

Acer AC700 Chromebook Review
18.05.52
The box the Acer AC700 came in was nice, but there’s no kind of Wow factor. The first thing you do after unpacking everything is to place the battery into the back of the Chromebook. You’ll notice the lid has a glossy black shine to it. Because it is glossy, it does show a minimal amount of fingerprints, but it never looks dirty or like it needs to be wiped. When you pick it up and turn it over, you realize how incredibly light 3.2 lbs can feel. It is about the size of a netbook, with an 11-inch screen, which is very bright and extremely sharp. It is very easy to read text on this screen, even without increasing font size. However, it is an 11-inch screen, so text and images will be a bit smaller than you’re accustomed to with a larger laptop.

Two Android tabs for under $200
18.05.86
Hi,
I think that I kind of agree with alot in this article. Although I have an Android Tablet I have to admit that its a very useful but not really an essential device. It is especially when travelling or for simple websurfing and email usage, but it doesn't really fully replace a laptop, desktop, or my Windows running Tablet.
Because these app running tables really seem to be somewhat limited devices, and I can't see that paying $500 to $1000 or more for any of the current devices on the market would be a viable option for a lot of people.
So seeing more models under $200 (especially with capacitive screens) seems like they might make them more attractive to many others, and because then I think that the prices might be more in line with the limited capabilities and uses that they can perform. Though maybe if they can be brought down to $150 or less that would be even better, (I only bought mine Android Tablet because it was on sale for about $165, due to it being a discontinued model (and the fact that it only has a resistive screen).
