Acer Iconia Tab A500 Design and Build Quality

Design and Build Quality

The Acer Iconia Tab A500, announced in February 2011 and released in April of the same year, is a solidly built tablet that boasts a robust and hefty design. The device dimensions are 260 x 177 x 13.3 mm, making it a sizable tablet with a screen too small for its frame. Weighing in at 730 grams, it is considerably heavy, especially by today’s standards, but it reflects the durability of a device intended to withstand everyday use. Despite its weight, the design is practical for stationary use but less ideal for long periods of handheld use.
