The tablet's 1080p display, saying it makes text, images and video look sharper. Lisa also praises the A700's Tegra 3 quad-core performance, long battery life, and support for USB peripherals. The tablet also got warm but not excessively hot when gaming. The 5MP camera and 1MP front camera were mediocre but adequate. - Christ Musk - MobileTechReview |

The tablet's 1080p display has accurate colors but could be brighter and have better viewing angles. The tablet's choppy interface animations and laggy touch response despite its Tegra 3 processor. Transformer Pad Infinity or new iPad offer better performance and build quality. He feels the A700 is slower, not as refined, and lacks a strong app ecosystem. Dan Seifert - mobileburn |

I found the high resolution screen to be an upgrade over the previous Acer tablet model. The quad-core Tegra 3 processor also provides more power than the dual-core processor in the earlier tablet. In testing the camera, I discovered useful options to record sound for different environments like a classroom or concert. - Rose Chris |
