You might not immediately think of Acer when looking at tablet options, but if you are on a really tight budget and want to give a 7.9in Android tablet a go, it would be worth glancing in the direction of the Acer Iconia A1-830. Its biggest problems are ...

Not as good as the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HDX 7in, but Acer's second stab at a budget 7.9in tablet is a good performer for the money...
Very low brightness, Very low battery life, Unimpressive graphics in games, Mediocre cameras

People expecting the Acer Iconia A1-830 to be a cheap iPad mini will likely be disappointed. It looks like an iPad mini, but the Android OS means it's nothing like an Apple tablet. It's also not particularly remarkable in terms of the specs it offers, tha...
Abstract: Unless you want an iPad or iPad mini, it's not easy to find an Android tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio display. Acer comes to the rescue with an 8" midrange Android 4.2 Jelly Bean tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio IPS display, Intel Atom dual core CPU and cam...
