      Under the price it actually says cashback so I'd say that you get a cashback!!

  • sydney98 on 17/06/2013 - 12:03

    What about warranty? Does the price incl accident/damage? I guess cash back offer is not applicable for ACER online store purchase…

    can't be bothered with 50 units only.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2013 - 13:55

      in all fairness, 50 units on on a discount of $124.50 is pretty decent.

      If it were 50 tea bags on the other hand…

    The tablet is a good budget tablet. Great for 1/2 price.

    But the Acer webserver is running slow already. Unless you have a botnet at your disposal, the odds of frustration vs buying one are approximately 3,720 to 1!.

      +1 for the maths. Or in lamens terms, more likely to get hit by a volvo whilst crossing the road I believe.

          Well I did cross the road earlier without being collected by a Volvo so I'm in with a good chance to get myself an Acer tablet.

        • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2013 - 14:37

          I hope we both do, but I don't like our chances.

    Great for that price, almost as good as a Nexus 7 but the battery life isn't as good.
    With the Nexus 7-2 releasing soon, best to wait.

  • vrpc55 on 17/06/2013 - 12:38

    The processor is MT8125 1.2GHz, typically cheap compared to mainstream qualcomm, nvidia

  • yokumoku on 17/06/2013 - 12:54

    The screen is not very responsive, i got it a few days ago from Binglee as seen in ozbargain.

    • fchis on 17/06/2013 - 13:06

      interesting, i've read many reviews that say it's as responsive as the Nexus 7. Faulty unit maybe?

      • scotty on 17/06/2013 - 13:19
        +1

        Here's benchmark between Iconia A1 and Nexus 7. I don't think a quad-core Cortex-A7 chip would be faster than a A9-based cheap, but I don't think it would be "unresponsive" either.

        • yokumoku on 17/06/2013 - 16:45

          I don't think it is related to any speed issue. The tablet loads apps very fast. But sometimes I have to touch it 2 or 3 times to get a click especially while web browsing.I have read someone complaining the same in whirlpool forums.

        • fchis on 17/06/2013 - 17:58

          Does it have a screen protector on it? It may cause the issue that you have.

          Hi mate, if it just happening in the browser then it is very likely the browser problem, a web site that has too many JavaScript will screw up the browser. Nexus 7 has the same issue.

      It's not as simple as adding more ram will result in faster and smoother operation. It's all about the optimized integration for both software and hardware. Take iPad mini for example, it runs very smoothly and only has 512mb of ram.

    So compared to the PD10HD I got a few weeks ago this has a crappier cpu/gpu, only half the RAM, lower screen res and more expensive. Why buy this over a Chinese tablet?

    • bchliu on 18/06/2013 - 11:43
      +1

      Realistically they are both Chinese tablets (both made in China and both are Chinese brands)

      Not everyone got the PD10HD (including me, the OP) for $80. The same pad costs $149 elsewhere so you have to compare it to this price.
