    This would seem to be the best deal on a tegra 3 full sized tablet with genuine Australian stock. I would ignore the a500, the a700 is where its at.

    • May4th on 09/08/2013 - 22:12

      i don't know.. a poorly supported HD screen could make things worse

      • easternculture on 09/08/2013 - 22:14

        apparently, according to the cnet reviews, it stutters and can freeze due to unsupported bandwidth a Full HD screen needs

          yeah some chinese tabs (cube/ainol) have this problem too.. hence why i'm cautious about buying budget HD screen tabs

    • Jooniar on 09/08/2013 - 23:02

      I was able to grab a TF201 for $200 from the recent JB tablet clearance.

  • branners on 09/08/2013 - 21:54

    But at that price…
    I have an A500, love it. Updated to 4.1, runs well, no glitches. I use it when I travel and it has excellent expandability and connectivity. Connects easily to an Apple bluetooth keyboard (which is what I use on the 'big' computer at home, so typing is simple) and the full-size USB port takes an el cheapo mouse.
    Both prices are pretty good for 32GB units. I wish I needed a new one!

    • team teri on 09/08/2013 - 23:13

      4.1, are you sure? Mine did not get more than 4.0.3.

        Edit: oops I kept thinking that it's A510 instead of A500. Sorry

    Reviews

    Cnet

    The good: The Acer Iconia Tab A700's high-res screen sharpens text and graphics to near-iPad Retina levels. Also, it's comfortable to hold and includes both Micro-HDMI and microSD.

    The bad: The base version of the Tegra 3 can't keep up with the high-res display, resulting in frequent hangs and stutters while navigating. The cameras are unimpressive.

    The bottom line: The Acer Iconia Tab A700 overreaches with its high-res screen and is ultimately outclassed by tablets that offer better experiences for the money.

    Also this:
    With the A700, Acer essentially took its Iconia Tab A510, slapped in a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution screen and gave it a new name. Unfortunately, Acer failed to compensate for the extra bandwidth a high-res screen requires. The result? Stuttery performance that periodically hangs or (in one case) freezes completely

    Trusted Reviews

    Acer Iconia A700 Verdict
    The Acer Iconia Tab A700 is a competent tablet that shows off what Android can do well, but in some key respects, it feels like a test run at a top-end tablet rather than the real deal. Its screen is impressive in most respect, but the design and the poor cameras make it feel like it doesn't quite belong at the top of the tree where it has set up shop.

    Acer does not plan to update the A500 to Jelly Bean.

  • CyberGenesys on 09/08/2013 - 22:23

    Just ordered. $210 is cheap enough for me to give it a go. I've been burnt by previous Acers (& China) tablets, so hopefully this one turns out a bit better. The SD card reader seemed like a nice feature. I guess if it turns out to be a little bit crap there will be another tablet for sale on eBay…

    The thing with Android Tablets which i have found is, random reboots.
    I had similar with TF300T, it would randomly reboot.

    Just did a search on the web for A700, and it appears this also random reboots.

    Maybe I will sit this one out again.

    • DrPayne1990 on 10/08/2013 - 10:09

      Was it crap because you didn't like it or was there a manufacturing fault? I don't think any retailer is obliged to accept returns when you change your mind.

        it was crap, because the screen was laggy with video, shocking camera and it kept dropping out on the net. Now the staff at centrecom also just would not take it back. If a product is not what is advertised or does not work, they have to take it back. It is Australian consumer law. I do not care how cheap it is.

    Be aware that the A700 has a laggy interface due to the high-res screen. From CNET's review:
    "The bad: The base version of the Tegra 3 can't keep up with the high-res display, resulting in frequent hangs and stutters while navigating. The cameras are unimpressive."
