While there is a micro-HDMI connector, for example, there's only a microSD card slot to augment the 32GB of internal storage. Given its girth, though, we would have expected to see a stronger showing of ports on board. Still, the A700 feels great in our hands, and that extra bit of thickness lends the device a solid, reassuring grip. At 1.47 pounds and 0.43 inches thick, it's not the lightest or thinnest option around, though Acer isn't exactly known for churning out ultra-slim tablets (the 0.43-inch-thick A510 and the 0.49-inch A200 stand as evidence).

It also has a 3650 mAh battery.At 1.47 pounds and 0.43 inches thick, it's not the lightest or thinnest option around, though Acer isn't exactly known for churning out ultra-slim tablets.Acer's 8-inch Iconia Tab 8 tries to make the case for this category. The device is powered by a Dual core, 1.5 GHz processor paired with 2 GB GB of RAM to further enhance the user’s experience. Acer Iconia W510 32GB WiFi tablet features a 10.1 inches (25.65 cm) touchscreen for your daily needs and runs undefined operating system to quickly open apps and games.

Without headphones, you'll detect a bit of tinniness, but with headphones, sound is crisp and rich. At max volume, the A700's sound is loud enough to fill a small room. Audio, be it dialogue in shows streamed from Netflix or instrumentals in songs, is clear and undistorted. And, unlike Acer's tablet, the TF700 is viewable in direct sunlight, thanks to a staggering brightness rating of 600 nits.Along with that high-res screen, Acer includes Dolby Mobile 3 and 5.1-channel surround sound to enhance the entertainment experience. Speaking of which, we have to temper our praise for the A700's display by noting that the similarly priced ($499) Infinity TF700 has an IPS panel, whereas the A700 has a standard LCD.

Acer's ring aside, this is very much an ICS tablet, and you won't feel too distant from the original build when flicking through menus or pressing the recent apps icon.Navigating the Android 4.0 interface is generally fluid and easy, though we encountered some glitches with the tablet's responsiveness. We especially like that the screenshot function can be set as a shortcut: it's much more efficient than holding down the volume rocker and power button. Still, with Google I/O around the corner, the prospect of Jelly Bean looms, and it's worth mentioning that newer devices such as the A700 will probably get an update at some point.As with other Acer tablets, the ring launcher sits on the system bar, providing shortcuts to apps such as the camera and browser.

That's not to say it's at the top of it's class: next to other quad-core Tegra 3 tablets such as the Iconia Tab A510 and ASUS' TF700, this slate seems a bit humble, but its scores at least dwarf those of dual-core slates like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.We already mentioned how the A700 often required us to repeat taps before successfully launching apps, and we found the performance to be choppy in other ways, too. Performance and battery lifeWe're getting quite used to seeing Tegra 3 tablets that serve up Ice Cream Sandwich with smooth, fast performance, and the A700 belongs to this breed, thanks to that NVIDIA CPU clocked at 1.3GHz and 1GB of RAM. Never fear, though: you can cut down on the bloat by disabling what you don't need under Settings. Booting the tablet up for the first time, you'll be greeted with Amazon MP3, Evernote, Netflix, YouTube and Zinio - not to mention the full Google suite of apps and a bundle of productivity programs including Acer Print and Polaris Office - in the app menu. When we scrolled through photo-heavy sites, the A700 stuttered for a few seconds before scaling the complete page, displaying gray squares for an instant before the images loaded.Acer didn't exercise more restraint than usual with the software pre-load on this tablet.

In short, though you won't be reaching for a charger come midday, that runtime is frankly pretty uninspiring. It also falls about an hour short of the Infinity TF700 and the iPad 2012, two of the A700's closest competitors when it comes to display quality. That falls significantly short of Acer's claim of 11 hours for video playback via WiFi (it also rates the A700 for 13 hours of video playback sans WiFi). Still, many of tablets we've tested recently have been plagued by a little bugginess, and Acer's new slate isn't any worse in this regard.The Iconia Tab A700's 36.25Wh battery lasted eight hours and 22 minutes on our battery rundown test, which involves running a standard-definition video on loop with the screen brightness at 50 percent and WiFi on.

When we did a test video call on Skype, the 2-megapixel front camera delivered very clear images, both for us and our friend on the other end.The 5-megapixel camera is capable of shooting video in 1080p, and our sample footage was as crisp and clean as the photos. We know, we know: you probably won't be doing much photography with this device, but it's nice that this standard feature is high-quality on Acer's tablet. The bright, accurate tones looked lovely when we flipped through our images on the full HD display. No washed-out colors here, and the autofocus does a good job of rendering crisp and clear images (that's a good thing, because autofocus and infinity focus are the only options -Infinity Mode was less effective).

In other ways, this device improves on past products: rather than the standard 1,280 x 800 resolution, you get a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel display, and audio quality is nothing to sniff at.Though that HD panel is pretty sweet, it's not the best out there. Wrap-upIn many ways, the new Iconia Tab A700 continues Acer's tablet legacy, with a lightly (and attractively) skinned version of Android, a less-than-thin design and middling battery life. Lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the new iPad, whose 2,048 x 1,536 Retina display makes it another obvious contender in this mobile display arms race.
