(Credit:Archos)

Archos today announced newAndroidtablets for its new Elements series.

First in line for a July release is the Archos 97 Carbon. Though it runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and sports a 9.7-inch IPS display, the tablet’s feature set is decidedly middle of the road.

Inside you’ll find a 1GHz processor, 16GB of flash memory, front and back cameras, HDMI-out and USB ports, support for 1080p HD video, Office Suite Viewer, a microSD card slot, and access to the Google Play store.

With an aluminum finish, the 97 Carbon weighs 21.8 ounces and measures 0.45 inch thick. Expect to pay between $229.99 and $249.99 when it goes on sale later this month.

Archos also promised to expand the Elements line with new 7- and 8-inch tablets, though the company has yet to offer additional details.

Asus Transformer Pad 300T Review

Posted on by

Asus has come along way with its development of tablet computers, and has been developing quite a following despite the fact that many manufacturers struggle in this industry, especially when they are competing against the ever popular iPad. The Asus 300T transformer tablet computer is the latest in the line from the Asus brand, and wasn’t exactly developed in order to outdo the previous version of the Transformer line, but instead, the 300T was developed to make it affordable to a wider range of people.

When comparing the 300T to the prime, what we noticed first was that the housing materials were completely different. when the Asus prime was developed, they didn’t cut any corners and encased the unit in a solid aluminum framework, and alternatively, the development team for the 300T saved some money from that expensive casing by using a colorful and attractive plastic covering. The unit that we reviewed was a really nice red which had a really nice grip on it due to the fact that it is finely textured. It feels really great in your hands, and is very comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. This is something that every tablet needs to focus on.

One of the things that we noticed right away was the fact that the 300T was noticeably heavier than the Prime, weighing in at 635 g for the tablet only. when you and the docking platform onto it, it adds another 546 g to the unit. Another difference that we noticed which really shouldn’t make a difference to anybody looking to compare the 300T with any other tablet market is that it is a little bit thicker than the prime coming in at 9.9 mm.

Another change that was made between in the 300T and the prime in order to save a few bucks was the using of the standard IPS LCD screen rather than the super IPS screen that was implemented on the prime tablet. while some people might think that this is a big deal, when using our review model, we didn’t think it was a very big downfall due to the extreme clarity of the screen, the crispness of the images it displayed, the vibrancy of the colors, and the brilliance of the white which it displayed. even when looking at the tablet from off angles, it was still surprisingly clear. This “lowering” of the quality of the screen really shouldn’t be a factor for the typical user, although you might find a person who is rather finicky who will have a problem with it, but for the price of the 300 T as compared to many of the other tablets on the market, this one comes back a winner in our book.

One of the things that we like most about the transformer series is that it allows you to dock a keyboard to it. Asus sells a version of the 300 T in Australia that actually comes bundled with the keyboard dock which is a different approach than what has been available before. This model is known as the 300 T SKU, and while we still think that it would be a great value and an even cheaper option if it didn’t come with the keyboard dock, we think that this is the best way to buy the unit since it’s such a great feature.

Having this keyboard dock add on for the 300 T also brings some more connectivity to the tablet, and essentially makes it a very nice and lightweight portable computer. This is because it adds an SD card slot, a 3.5 headphone socket, a full-sized USB host port, a micro HDMI out, as well as a micro-ST memory expansion, which puts it a good step ahead of the other android tablets that we’ve checked out this year. Without the keyboard expansion dock however, it’s not a lot different.

We found this machine quite capable of carrying out all of the functions that we used it for, and this is due to the Nvidia quad core Tegra 3processor that it comes equipped with. This is the exact same processor that is used in the Prime, and is rated at 1.2 GHz. It also comes with 1 GB of RAM and with the use of the ice cream sandwich firmware, and the Tegra chip, it is a very powerful little unit. Seeing how you’re going to spend several hundred dollars less for this unit then you would the more expensive Prime, the differences between the two concerning performance are barely noticeable.

Most of the user experience comes from Google, although Asus did have a little bit to do with it. This tablet is seamless with its operation, and runs very smooth. There is very little if any lag when you switch between screens or swipe pages. if you have the optional dock attached, you can even use a mouse to control the system, although if you prefer you can still use the touch screen.

One of the things we were impressed with in relation to the performance was the battery life, as when you take the docking platform off of it, you can use it for about 7 1/2 hours of continuously playing videos on full brightness. if you and the dock onto the unit, since it has a battery too, that 7 1/2 hours gets extended all the way up to 12 which allows for plenty of time for watching movies on even the most extensive of flights across the world’s oceans.

The majority of android tablets haven’t fared very well against the competition brought on by the Apple iPad, but due to the features that are offered by the Asus 300T, and the price, any consumer would be out of their mind not to at least give it a look. You’re not going to find anything staggeringly new with the 300T, but you are going to get into the unit a lot cheaper than you will any of the other brands. currently the transformer 300 T is being listed for AU$599, which is significantly cheaper than what you would find if you were to go look at an iPad that had Wi-Fi only and comparable storage. It is also widely cheaper than any of the other brands of android tablets on the market including those from Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and Acer.

Even those individuals who are looking at buying a notebook should take time to consider the 300 T tablet since all of the options line up pretty well. It’s always important to make sure that it’s going to meet the requirements for your work, but the stock version comes with the compatibility to support the use of Microsoft Office documents. Because of all of the options, the battery life, the weight, and the size, and you’re not going to find a much better notebook within this price range. if you’re in the market take the time and check it out.

Archos reveals the 97 Carbon entry level tablet

Posted on by

By Dakota Torres on 07/05/2012 11:04 PDT

Archos has revealed the first of three of its new entry-level Element line of Android tablets today, the 97 Carbon. the device has an aluminum finish and features a 9.7-inch IPS display, weighs in at 21.8 ounces, and is only .45-inches thick.

One of the main points that Archos is mentioning is that the tablet has Google Play pre-loaded, a big step up for Archos which would usually pre-load its own Archos app store to its devices before. Other features include a front and rear camera, 16GB of internal storage, Android 4.0 ICS, the ability to decode full 1080p HD videos and send it to to a HDTV via the HDMI port, 1GB of RAM, a 1GHz single-core processor, and some software pre-loaded including plenty of Google apps and Office Suite Viewer.

We don’t have an official date of release yet, just some point in this month of July. the 97 Carbon will retail for $249.99.if you think that the 9.7-inch screen is a little to big for you, they also have 7-inch and 8-inch models, which they have yet to release many details of, but expect similar specs. if you’re looking for an entry level tablet, would you be interested in the 97 Carbon? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Apple iPad Smart Case

Posted on by

The Smart Case ($49 direct) for the New iPad and iPad 2 builds on the success of Apple’s original Smart Cover ($39, 4 stars). Simply put, it’s the Smart Cover attached to a thin case for the aluminum back of the iPad. It’s less streamlined than the original, but adds protection for the whole tablet, instead of just its screen. Apple released this new accessory quietly, and rightfully so, as it’s nothing new—this form factor exists in countless iterations from third-party vendors. even though it’s late to Apple’s own iPad party, the magnetized Smart Case smartly balances form and function, and is one of the better options for protecting your iPad without sacrificing its slim silhouette.

The Smart Case is made from the same grippy, rubberized polyurethane material and soft, felt-like microfiber lining found in the original. And it comes in six colors (light gray, dark gray, blue, green, pink, and red), but unlike the original, there’s no leather option. The back is soft and flexible, with a rigid outer edge that wraps around the iPad. And, unlike with similar third-party cases, the Smart Case sports an actual Apple logo to replace the one on the back of the iPad that you’re covering up. 

Inline

You get cutouts for the camera lens, charging port, orientation lock switch, microphone, and speaker grille. The Power and Volume buttons are covered by raised bumps, which I found to be easy to press and did not detract from the tactile feel of the buttons themselves. The screen cover is permanently attached and retains the scored four-panel folding design of the original Smart Cover, with a magnetized edge that keeps the case closed when your iPad isn’t in use and wakes it up from sleep when opened. The Smart Case is far more secure than the Smart Cover, and it will stay in place even if jostled in a bag. The fold-up stand function works in the same way as the original, providing a propped up angle for either comfortable typing or hands-free movie watching. The case fits equally well on both the New iPad and iPad 2, and while it was easy to slip on, removing the case takes a bit more force. 

There are two minor problems I found with the new Smart Case. first, the stand function, while more or less identical to the original, feels a bit less precise and secure in the upright position. The back prevents the tablet from sitting completely flush with the stand, which made it feel like a light tap could topple the tablet. Second, the gap between the case edge and front cover is pretty small and makes it a bit more difficult to open. these are pretty minor gripes though, and the Smart Case is still a great option for protecting your new iPad while adding a simple and effective stand. if you like the Smart Cover, but want a little more protection for your iPad without adding bulk, it’s hard to go wrong with the Apple Smart Case. if you’re looking for more options, be sure to check out our roundups of Cool New iPad 3 cases and the Best iPad 2 Cases.

Acer Unveils Ultrabook, PC, and Tablet Lineup for ...

Posted on by

Acer shows off its new things for Computex 2012.

Acer today at Computex unloaded a bunch of new product announcements, many of which are designed to take advantage of Windows 8 when it releases later this year.

 

The Aspire S7 Series are the company’s new ultrabooks that will come in 13.3-inch and 11.6-inch sizes that will have HD touch screens. Both feature a sleek aluminum metallic unibody design. the larger model additionally sports a glossy, sculpted glass cover. the 13.3-inch model will offer up to 12 hours of battery life, while the 11.6-inch model can run for up to 9 hours from a single charge.

For those looking for a bigger screen without the need for portability, Acer today announced two new Windows 8 all-in-one (AIO) PCs at Computex Taipei: the Aspire 7600U (27-inch) and the Aspire 5600U (23-inch).

The 35 mm thin Aspire 7600U supports up to 64-point simultaneous touch from all angles on its full HD screen, enabling use by multiple users at once. It features 0 to 90 degree viewing and swivels at four sides when laid flat for enjoyment by more than one user. the even-thinner Aspire 5600U can tilt from 30 to 85 degrees. Both feature Dolby Home Theater Surround Sound.

For those who need ultimate portability, a pair of tablets are part of the new lineup: the Iconia W510 and W700. the W510 10.1-inch tablet has a tri-mode, allowing users to touch, type and view. Aside from the conventional tablet mode, it can be used in productivity mode. A detachable keyboard dock can be connected to the tablet for optimal typing as well as extending the battery life up to 18 hours. Rotating the tablet 295 degrees allows it to be used in presentation mode.

 

Acer’s W700 has an 11.6-inch full HD screen and comes with a multipurpose cradle that allows for several viewing options and three USB 3.0 ports for expansion.

Stay tuned for more from Computex 2012.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 Review – Technology ...

Posted on by

Samsung Galaxy Tab 620

Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 is not the first tablet in the Galaxy family. but it surely is one of the sleekest among a family of 750, 730 and 680. with a choice of products under same brand, consumers not only demand more, but their desires are fulfilled in various ways. If you do not seek for

10.1-inch tablet, then you can consider something else from Galaxy and could satisfy your requirements. No wonder, there are differences in all the tablets which could bring you your desired results.

DesignThe Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 comes with 7-inch display, which is much smaller and lighter than Apple’s iPad or iPad 2. the advantages of the compact design are that it weighs just 345 grams, has a better battery backup, and feels more comfortable and portable while using it. of course, the experience of maps and videos is a bit marred by the smaller display.

The design is not different from its predecessors, but the tablet has a clean and elegant look thanks to oodles of good quality glossy plastic. the edges are rounded; the sides have graceful slopes and are framed with thin aluminum to cover the screen. One big problem is that the battery can’t be removed. but then again, that’s a common issue with most tablets in the market, these days.

The Tab has a MicroSD card slot and a SIM card slot, both being at the left side of the device. Additionally, the power button as well as volume rocker are placed at the right side of the device.

PerformanceThe tablet is powered by a 1.2 GHz Exynos processor, which is different from the 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor, loaded in 750. due to the faster processor, users can load and play games easily, can surf Internet quickly, and can also run apps without much hassle. the tablet is equipped with 7-inch PLS (plane-to-line switching) panel. the resolution offered is 1024×600. While the display has impressive viewing angles, the maximum brightness possible on the tablet is not much. but then again, more often than not, users keep the brightness level to as low as possible to save battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 comes loaded with 1 GB RAM and internal memory storage of 16 GB, upgradable to 48GB with the help of a 32GB microSD card. It is also capable of showing full HD videos in 1080p. It also supports the more popular formats like AVI, MP4 & MKV.

Just like the Galaxy Note. the Tab 620 also allows you to make phone calls using the SIM card. While it is possible to pick up the “phone” to your ear, I shall strongly advise you to use the supplied headsets, or a Bluetooth headset, in case you really have to make a phone call using a 7-inch tablet.

Honeycomb installed in the tablet is more than capable in performing the daily tasks of emailing, browsing, reading news, multimedia and more. Thanks to our increasing dependence on Google’s suit of software, Android does make a compelling mobile OS of choice. nonetheless, the fact that there is still no news of ICS landing on the Samsung Galaxy series of tablets and phones is a huge disappointment.

BatteryThe tablet comes loaded with a 4000 mAh battery. our tests showed that it easily survived over 12 hours during cases of moderate social media updates, emailing, browsing on 3G and listening to music. It also lasted for about 7 hours with a 1080p videos being played in loop. While we did not make many phone calls with the tablet, we are confident that the tablet should easily last the day for a regular user.

VerdictIf you are planning to buy the Tab 620 because you want an iPad, you are looking at the wrong place. this baby is not a “cheaper iPad”. It is a different tablet in its own right. I own a PlayBook myself, and I felt like selling it off in replacement of the Tab 620, after just one week of usage.

The Tab 620 is buttery smooth when it comes to the raw processing power. the customized TouchWizUI from Samsung is also very functional and hardly makes you want to switch to the default Honeycomb experience.

One of the major reasons of buying a 7-inch tablet is to read – be it an occasional novel, news updates, or even stock quotes. And that is here this 7 incher shines bright and loud. It is so small that we could even make it fit into our jeans and trouser pockets. It is extremely easy to carry and flip out even in the middle of the road. It is also super simple to type with two thumbs in the portrait mode, something you can never dream of with a tablet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 620 is undoubtedly the best 7-inch tablet in the market, and at Rs. 25,900, it is a very good bargain. do not get fooled by the cheap prices of BlackBerry PlayBook or the Reliance 3G tablet. If you want quality, and great selection of apps, along with a great tablet size to read on, it is time to flip out that credit card!

Acer Aspire 5349-2635

Posted on by

The systems PCMag.com describes as budget laptops, like our Editors’ Choice Asus U56E-BBL6 ($699.99 list, 4 stars), tend to cost from $500 to $750. The Acer Aspire 5349-2635 costs $348.98 (list) at Walmart.com and select Wal-Mart stores—about as affordable a new, non-refurbished laptop as you can find. Netbook? no. rather, it’s a mainstream laptop with a 15.6-inch screen and a full 4GB of memory, though both its Intel Celeron processor and 320GB hard drive are on the skimpy side—and while it’s no barn-burner, its bang-for-the-buck is impressive enough to cop an Editors’ Choice as an ultra-budget laptop.

If the Aspire 5349-2635 cost $700, this would be a short and negative review—too plain, too slow, too short on features. At half that price, the laptop is something of a revelation: More than adequate for word processing and Web surfing, it makes sense to us as a household’s third or fourth PC or as a purchase for the kids (particularly if you’re looking to give each child his or her own laptop). it sounds like damning with faint praise (and it’ll ruin our reputation as power users), but we found ourselves actually liking the thing.

Design instead of costly aluminum, the 5349-2635 is covered in good old plastic—a textured silver-gray oddly reminiscent of a factory floor or trash can on the lid and palm rest; black on the keyboard, sides, and bottom. though relatively light at an even 5 pounds, the 10 by 15 by 1.4-inch (HWD) system feels pretty solid, apart from some minimal screen flexing.

The glossy screen offers the 1,366 by 768 resolution that’s a familiar sight among 15.6-inch (and 13.3- and 14-inch) laptops. It’s not the brightest, but white backgrounds are crisp as long as you keep the backlight at its top couple of settings, and colors and viewing angles are better than you might expect, with vivid hues as long as you don’t try gathering a crowd around the display.

Our review unit’s Delete key seemed to take a firm press instead of a light touch, which you could arguably consider a safety feature, but otherwise the keyboard was a pleasant surprise—somewhat shallow, but with a solid, brisk typing feel. Its layout is good, with dedicated Home, end, PgUp, and PgDn keys (although the cursor arrows are small) and a numeric keypad with full-sized keys, not the somewhat narrower or shrunken keypad seen on numerous 15.6-inch systems. Two dime-sized speakers above the keyboard produce typical inexpensive-laptop (i.e., tinny but sufficiently loud) audio.

Features Wireless capabilities include the expected 802.11n Wi-Fi, which worked fine in our browsing and downloading sessions, and Acer’s own Clear.fi, a proprietary technology that streams multimedia between Acer devices—such as two laptops or a laptop and an Iconia tablet—over a home Wi-Fi network. Bluetooth is missing, as is Intel’s Wireless Display (WiDi)—neither absence a surprise at this price.

We confess, however, we were hoping to see a USB 3.0 port, but were disappointed—there are two USB 2.0 ports on the 5349-2635′s right side and a third on its left, but none of the newer, faster flavor. Other ports include VGA, HDMI, and Fast (100Mbps) rather than Gigabit (1000Mbps) Ethernet, along with an SD/MMC memory-card reader on the Acer’s front edge.

The 320GB, 5,400-rpm hard drive is formatted as a single 282GB C: partition plus a hidden recovery partition; the former has about 250GB free after Acer finishes with its software preinstall but before you add any applications or data files yourself. The preinstall includes some bloatware, ranging from Acer Games, Fooz Kids, and the Nook e-reader software to Netflix and eBay links, plus more useful material such as a 60-day McAfee Internet Security Suite trial, Evernote, Microsoft Office Starter 2010, and NTI Media Maker 9 software for the dual-layer DVD±RW drive. Acer backs the 5349-2635 with a one-year mail- or carry-in warranty.

Performance Acer Aspire 5349-2635 The last time we tested a laptop at this price, it was another Acer—the Aspire One AO722-0828 ($349.99 list, 3.5 stars), and it was a netbook. although well equipped for that class, with an 11.6-inch screen and 4GB of RAM, the Acer AO722-0828 took over 19 minutes to complete the Photoshop CS5 benchmark test that the 5349-2635 finished in 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

To be sure, more costly systems pack more speed than the Aspire 5349-2635, mainly because of the latter’s processor—Intel’s Celeron B815, a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU with no Hyper-Threading technology to let two cores mimic four. The Acer Aspire 5750-6667 ($499.99 list, 4 stars) handled the Photoshop job in 5 minutes 23 seconds to the Aspire 5349-2635′s score of 7:40, as well as completing our Handbrake video encoding test in 2:17 versus 3:05 for the Aspire 5349-2635.

Acer Aspire 5349-2635

The Aspire 5349-2635 is no choice for gamers, creeping under 11 frames per second in both Crysis and Lost Planet 2 at medium quality settings. And the 5349-2635 failed to complete our PCMark 7 overall performance benchmark test, getting stuck in a video loop that benchmark maker Futuremark’s online forum identifies as a known problem with some low-end integrated graphics platforms.

Still, subjectively the Aspire 5349-2635 feels at least as perky as the Intel Core i3-powered Toshiba Portege Z835-P330 ultrabook—in other words, okay for online and office work if not for strenuous multitasking. And its battery life is tolerable, too: The system’s 48Wh pack lasted 4 hours 56 minutes in our MobileMark 2007 test, well shy of the 7:42 managed by our Editors’ Choice Asus U56E-BBL6 but not dreadful for a mainstream laptop.

If you have more than $349 to spend, you can do better than the Acer Aspire 5349-2635. But if you thought you could only afford a netbook, the rock-bottom Aspire 5349-2635 is a surprisingly competent choice. make that an ultra-budget Editors’ Choice.

BENCHMARK TEST RESULTS: Check out the test scores for the Acer Aspire 5349-2635.

COMPARISON TABLE: Compare the Acer Aspire 5349-2635 with several other laptops side by side.

Toshiba Excite Android tablet gets release date ...

Posted on by

When the first Toshiba Android tablet was released, it seemed like a really big deal – at one point it was even rumored that they’d be the ones to host the tablet-centric Android 3.0 Honeycomb as a hero – alas that did not happen, and now that the first iteration (call the Toshiba Thrive, just so you know) is both too fat and unwieldily to sell as a top dog, the big T is sending out a new generation called Toshiba Excite. this tablet was revealed a few weeks ago as a contender for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with its dual-core 1.2Ghz Texas Instruments OMAP4 processor and its 10.1-inch display at 1280 x 800 resolution – and today Mobile Syrup relays Toshiba information that it’ll be on sale come February 2012.

That said, the OMAP4 is certainly nothing to scoff at, and this unit does look quite enticing to the eye with its stark aluminum silvery back and its microSD card slot, not to mention its miniHDMI-out port. like the original Toshiba Android tablet, we’ll certainly have a few options for connections. With a market of consumers looking to get the tablet that suits them perfectly, it’ll be the people who trust the name TOSHIBA that pick this bad boy up — other than that, those who love things that are SHINY.
