The sound, speakers, and headphone crackles on this Acer tablet was what lost it for me. I went for another tablet with louder clearer speakers.
But the other features (eg. HDMI, cpu, ram) on this tablet (FHD 1920x1200 version sold at Amazon) were the best compared to the competition. It also had the best 3dmark gfx benchmarks compared to other tablets at this price, so that made it a hard decision for me. This is a perfect tablet esp. the true FHD version(if you can live with subpar speakers) and slightly less bright LCD screen. HDMI is also this tablet's saving point.

Took tablet home and was easy to set up. Was pleased with tablet until I plugged in headphones. I could not believe how bad the sound was when playing youtube videos. Every time tried to put sound up to max (which was very poor at maxium level),the sound reverted to default about halfway along bar. I first thought headphones were at fault, so used headphones with cheap MP3 player & headphones were load and clear. I don't know how Acer can sell a tablet with so so poor sound with headphones. If you like to listen to your tab in whisper mode, then this is the tablet for you.

I bought three of these for my sons on Christmas and every one of them have issues stemming from the power button. Two shut off by themselves and at times refuse to power back on and the power and volume buttons popped out of place on third tablet on Christmas day. My brother in law bought four for his girls and has experienced the power issues on two of theirs also. Not sure why I expected more as I only paid $100 each thru Costco but I figured if they were selling them I'd be getting a quality product. Glad I have my old Apple products so they can have games to play . I definitely would not recommend this tablet to anyone

I Agree this tablet is great on speedy performance, but the competition is there: Lenovo s8-50, Asus me572, and samsung galaxy. It's close but Acer has hdmi & barely beats them in benchmarks. So all of them remain equally good choices depending on which form factor you like, small, thin, better sounding speakers or brighter sharper screen ,etc. I had both Acer& Lenovo but ended up keeping Lenovo. I would have kept both if I needed 2 tablets.

wanderer, 11 Aug 2014The limitation to 32 GB MicroSD cards is the reason I will ... moreIt has quite a lot of internal space as well, but do you really need all that memory?
It's a very powerful and competent tablet.
For this price, I can't see any competition.
I am very satisfied with this Iconia.

My first day using, got 7hrs 20min from 2hrs video from ext hdd in airplane mode brightness down, and atleast 3+hrs light webpage browsing with very little video streaming, maybe 1+hr idle time. Got through most of the day with light casual use. I noticed cpu-z identified DPI of display as 320. Is there a way to turn it down to 240dpi to get smaller icons and characters on screen? (maybe rooting?)

Just finished installing the latest update. Split screen only works with a few apps, chrome and youtube in particular. I hope they add split screen support for more apps. Android version is still 4.4.2.
