Acer Iconia Tab A700

This is Acer’s top of the line tablet and a direct challenge to the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity with the same 1920 x 1200 pixel high resolution screen. Its $50 cheaper than the Asus but the tablet is a bit thicker and the camera is only 5 megapixel but otherwise most of the specs are about the same. I would spend the extra money for the Asus tablet but if the money makes the difference then this still a great choice.

Acer Iconia Tab A510

This is exactly the same tablet at the A700 but without the high resolution 1080p screen. You get all the same specs as the A700 but with a standard 1280 x 800 pixel display. I would like this to be cheaper since for only $50 you can get the better screen. This tablets falls in line with many of the other tablets with the same specs and pricing. Choosing Acer over any other may just come down to personal preference and maybe the pre-loaded software (bloatware).
