These are my thoughts after the purchase of the Acer A200. Any questions just ask away.
I purchased this tablet 3 days ago and have been using it literally none stop.....lol. The first impression when you do the un boxing is very positive. The screen is beatiful and the back of the tablet is perfect. It has a textured back and is not slippery at all. The weight and thickness of it is perfect. Feels great in my hands and is not heavy at all.
There have been complaints about the sound. The sound is indeed a problem. I use Volume+ and it is much better however i have no intention on using the tablet for playing music. Volume is more than enough for all other activities.
The screen is very nice. The resolution is great and things pop out on the screen. I have posted some screen captures below. It is very nice to surf the web. The extra space on the tablet makes for great surfing. I prefer to use Dolphin HD as a browser and it really work fine.
I did a quick Quadrant score and got 1920. Not too shabby but as we all know, these type of scores are not the end all of performance...lol.
As far as lag goes, it is not noticeable unless your using the keyboard. Come on ANDROID................is there anything Android that does NOT lag with the stock keyboard?
All in all, this tablet is an awesome piece. I have no issue at all for the missing rear camera, do not miss it, and as i have said, the sound issue is under control. I paid $349 at Best Buy.
The tablet market is crazy now so everyone will have a different opinion about what to buy. The A500 can be bought for about the same price as a refurb but it is not an up to date item, same as the transformer, out of date. I decided to go new and get something fairly cost effective and would meets all MY needs. This tablet does just that.
I would give it a score of 9 out of 10. The 1 being the sound.

) tablet that should have Ice Cream Sandwich pretty soon, and I liked the look and feel of it. So far it has met my expectations performance wise, as far as the games and apps I use. I had a tough time finding an app / codec that will play 720p mkv files but that's not really a fair test IMO... (Vplayer worked for playing the mkv files)... So yeah, I am happy with my purchase
