I researched tablets thoroughly and Samsung is the only
other tablet in this size that I considered.
Both tablets had the 1920x1200 resolution but the Samsung tablet did not
have a functional USB port. I don’t have
a strong use for a functional USB port but I like the flexibility it
provides. I have tried a USB keyboard
on the Acer and it worked just fine as long as you remember you aren’t dealing
with a Microsoft OS. I tried a 1TB USB
drive on the Acer and it also worked fine.
I have not gotten a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable yet to test that
feature.
The tablet has a great display. I’m not a big watcher of video on my tablets
but I tested this and it passed with flying colors. I play some word games, check my email, do
some surfing and basically use it as a really portable laptop. I plan on testing the HDMI and will report
on that when the test is accomplished.
I snagged a 32gb microSD card for the tablet which gives me
64gb of storage. I am old enough to
clearly remember my first 10MB hard drive so
I am in awe of 64gb in my tablet.
I have Skyped with the tablet and it seemed a little choppier than my
laptop but I can’t say that is the tablet’s fault. I can’t picture myself walking around taking
photos with the tablet but I tested it and it worked fine.
It comes with Polaris Office and that has opened my MS files
with not difficulty. The sound is
substantial but if you plan on watching a movie, I would suggest using
headphones. I saw reviews on this
product that mentioned heat issues. I
leave it plugged in 24/7 unless I am using it and I saw no heat issues
whatsoever.
Overall I am pleased with the tablet. It is priced all over the place so do your
due diligence. As an aside, when I was
in the business we had less problems with Acer products than most of the major
brands.
