Simon, Leeds General home user

Score 4.0/10

Good points:: Look and feel of tablet is good, with apps available through it but not the same as marketplace apps.
Its good price if the Wifi worked better.
Bad points:: Took ages to charge, hard to turn off, we kept pressing turn off button and will say shutting down but then its still on. Really slow and doesnt seem to want to connect to wifi often. We have an ipad and bought these for the children. The Ipad works great but the Archos is hit and miss connecting to the internet. I'd say its 50/50 if Wifi signal works on it.
If I'd have known how slow it was I would not have bought it.

Product Features

Screen size (Inches)	10.1
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Tablet Type	Slate
Where ‘slate’ tablets are standalone touchscreen computers, ‘convertible’ tablets have keyboards that mean the device can function as a laptop. Once the keyboard is folded away, the screen can then be used as touchscreen. ‘Hybrid’ tablets function similarly to ‘convertible’ tablets but the keyboard and screen can often be completely separated, allowing for more portability.
Operating system	Android 2.2
Software on which the device runs
Number of cores	Single
Computer processors are made up of 1 or more cores. Having multiple cores allows the computer to run two or more processes at once, improving multi-tasking and speeding things up.
Processor speed (Gigahertz)	1000
The processor is the driving force of your personal computer. The higher the number in Gigahertz or Ghz the faster your computer will run. Don’t forget that other factors such as the number of cores will have an effect on speed.
Hard disk capacity (Gigabytes)	8
Hard Disk capacity is measured in GBs which stands for Gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 MB or megabytes. The more GB you have the more info like photos and music you can store.
Battery life (Hours)	10
Battery life is important if you travel a lot. Long train journeys can be a pain if you don’t get more than 3 hours of life out of your laptop. It’s worth remembering that a lot of trains offer power sockets now so don’t be put off by a low battery life unless your lifestyle demands ultra portability.
