The Acer A500 tablet computer adopts a 10.1-inch widescreen design, the capacitive touch screen supports 10-point touch, and the screen resolution is 1280×800, which is the mainstream of 10.1-inch tablets. A certain amount of space is reserved on the left and right sides of the screen, which is convenient for holding and can effectively prevent misoperation. The portability of a tablet is one of the important factors that determine its pros and cons. The Acer A500 performs quite well in this regard, with an average thickness of 13.3mm, which is on par with the iPad's 13.4mm and slightly inferior to the iPad 2's 8.8mm. In terms of weight, the stand-alone weight of the Acer A500 is 758g. Although it is slightly heavier than the 680g of the iPad and the 601g of the iPad 2, there is not much difference in the handheld feeling.

The body thickness of Acer Iconia A500 is only 13.3mm, but It is not ambiguous at all in terms of the richness of its interfaces. In addition to the power switch, there are headphone jacks and mini HDMI interfaces on the left side of the fuselage. Thanks to the Tegra 2 processor equipped on the A500, users can directly output 1080P format videos to external display devices such as TVs through the mini HDMI interface for a better audio-visual experience. The right side of the fuselage of the Acer Iconia A500 is designed with a power charging interface, a Micro USB data interface and a standard USB2.0 interface. This is also the biggest highlight of the Acer Iconia A500. Through the USB interface, users can directly insert a USB flash drive and use third-party software to store and exchange data, which greatly improves the usability of this product. Through our testing, you can also use the USB interface to directly connect the keyboard for text input operations. The advantages of this feature are very obvious when used in a fixed environment. Of course, the Acer Iconia A500 cannot charge the device through the Micro USB interface, which also left us with some regrets. During long trips, we had to carry a special charger to satisfy our hunger.

In terms of processor, the Acer A500 is equipped with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, clocked at 1GHz, with 1GB of memory and 32GB of storage space as standard. The overall performance is very outstanding. In addition, the Acer A500 also supports gyroscope, electronic pointerCompass, light sensor, A-GPS and other functions. Basically, it is equipped with the most top-notch hardware. Of course, the system is also the latest cellular system, which makes it impossible for us to be picky. If it is a pity, the GPS of A500 is not a module, but A-GPS must be supported by network traffic before it can be used, which makes us feel a little disappointed.
