Summary

The Acer Iconia Tab A700 is an update to the A500 tablet from last year and the A510 from earlier this year. Featuring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a quad-core processor, the A700's claim to fame is its new 1920 x 1200 pixel, full HD display.

The new high-resolution display is definitely appreciated, but it is far from perfect, and unfortunately, the A700 has a number of faults that make it tough to recommend for new tablet buyers. Read on to find out where the A700 excels and where it just doesn't make the cut.
