Abstract: Intel's previous-gen dual-core 1.6GHz Atom Z2560 CPU powers this one, combined with PowerVR SGX544 graphics. But despite the ageing tech, the A1-830 gives Samsung's quad-core Exynos 4412 chip inside the Galaxy Note 8.0 a bit of a touch-up on 3DMark, so it...
Nice aluminium casing; Support for more storage over microSD; Relies on the standard microUSB charge port;
Sluggish performance; Mediocre screen resolution; No Bluetooth 4.0 or NFC; No microHDMI;
At a price of $249, it's hard to see the A1 830 as good value, even if it does compete on price quite well with Apple's own iPad Mini, which Acer is drawing heavy inspiration of.The problem is there are better options for a little bit more out there, and ...

Abstract: At a glance, it's almost a dead-ringer for Apple's smaller tablet, sporting a very mini-like physical design, right down to the 7.9-inch display, thin brushed-aluminium chassis (with very iPad-like curved corners and edges) and the placement of the power ...

Fits in the hand comfortably, Brushed metal finish makes it look expensive, OS is stock Android
Screen resolution is less than desirable, Acer apps are abundant & somewhat pointless, Front facing Camera is grainy terrible in low light, 5 MP Camera is quite shockingly bad
Overall, I like the Acer Iconia A1-830. It's quite a powerful tablet, but at a pretty low-end price point. Given the competition in this space, the A1-830 is quite an attractive option, but it's not without issue.There are a couple of areas I feel Acer co...

It runs an older version of Android; performance lags if multiple apps are open or if multitasking; the screen resolution is low for today's standards; it no longer offers a microHDMI port
The Acer Iconia A1-830 is a sleek and simple tablet for basic use, but you need only spend $50 more to upgrade to a slate with faster performance and better features....
Solid aluminum build, Affordable, iPad-like 4:3 screen ratio
Low-resolution display, Mediocre performance, Weak battery life
The Acer Iconia A1-830 is notable for how closely it hews to the iPad mini's design, but it's also a serviceable budget-friendly Android tablet in its own right...
Sub-$250 price, Aluminum rear casing, 2MP front cam with face detection
Low resolution screen
Acer has made a decent tablet with the A1-830. It looks like an Apple iPad Mini — which is a good looking tablet — and it will easily perform most tasks without any trouble. Furthermore, the $249 price is attractive...
Low screen resolution, Cited battery life not great, Only Bluetooth 3.0
The new A1 does look the part and, while its spec sheet is clearly designed to hit a precise price point, it's really great option if you want a device that has a 7.9 instead of a 7-inch display. It undercuts the iPad mini by some margin, though does see...
