Acer Iconia Tab A510 (2012): Full Review – Part 2

The company also offers Acer Print in A510 which can seamlessly connect the device to a printer over a network or by simply scanning the bar code.

Design

The A510 was released with A500 but both tablets are different breed. In fact, A510 inherits its looks from the February release of A200. However, plastic body has been replaced with leather and rubber, which allows for more grip on the device while holding.

The device comes with 10.1-inch TFT screen with a standard 1280 x 800-pixel resolution while side bezel covering it is 0.8-inch thick. It is 10.3 inches in height, 6.9 inches in width. With 0.48-inch thickness, A510 weighs 1.48 pounds.

The left edge of the device carries a Power/sleep button accompanied by a 3.5mm headset jack. The right side is for ports; micro-HDMI and micro-SD card slot, covered by a door, sit side-by-side. The bottom side is dedicated to the power inlet via a micro-USB port. There are stereo speakers on either side of the USB port and a reset pinhole right next to it. Volume rocker, screen-rotation-lock button and a microphone pinhole can be found on the top edge.

The bezel contains a 1-mega pixel camera on the top which is fairly usable for video chatting. It is accompanied by an ambient light sensor for auto-mode selection while capture the moments. The flip side contains a 5-mega pixel camera that can take up to 720p resolution video.

Hardware

The Iconia Tab A510 packs a punch in computing capabilities. It is the third tablet in the market to adorn NVIDIA’s latest and greatest quad-core technology in the shape of Tegra 3 processor. However, only Asus Transformer Prime comes at par in processing skills with the same 1.3 GHz processor as A510. The newest release of Transformer Pad brings a comparatively low powered 1.2 GHz quad-core processor.
