4.0 out of 5 stars Not for Everyone, April 11, 2011
By 
Dale H. Reeck (Buffalo NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Acer ICONIA-6120 14 inch Tablet PC (Personal Computers)
While the dual screen configuration is more useful than I would have originally thought, the Iconia 6120 is not for everyone. Its especially not for people who do a lot of writing. While the virtual keyboard works well, it is not the same as a physical keyboard.

And I have to contradict one of the reviewers here, the machine is very fast and I have noticed few bugs. The machine booted up the first time just fine, with no issues and the keyboard appears after a few seconds. I also have not noticed any unusual warmth.

But that doesn't mean all's perfect. There's the unexcusably missing bluetooth and multimedia card/ExpressCard slots. Also, while they give you easy access to the inards, via an easy to remove bottom access panel, that reveals an empty PCI Express card slot, there are no antenna leads. The European version of this system includes broadband, but without antenna leads, the slot becomes useless for USA upgraders who might want to use a CDMA broadband... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks software support, May 13, 2011
By 
James Buckeyne (LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Acer ICONIA-6120 14 inch Tablet PC (Personal Computers)
This is a fairly fast system. Decent enough video - can play quite a few games pretty well. However, there aren't a lot of applications that support multi-touch especially all-point touch.

Me, I'm a software developer, and am working on a few ideas for projects I wanted, and have learned some technical limitations. At this point, only one screen gets touches at a time, and my application only gets a single touch event on the lower screen; although I know that acer's stock scrapbook application definatly can recognize multiple points. Also, the WM_TOUCH information that is received does not have the width/height of the touches.

The touch surface itself is Cypress.

Someday it will be a good platform. I find it relatively easy to type on the surface except the keys my pinkies hit - my finger span is wider on my pinky than other fingers - would be nice to scale the keyboard in sections. Also from habit of touch typing, hitting the shift or control... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect laptop for audio and performance use!, September 4, 2011
This review is from: Acer ICONIA-6120 14 inch Tablet PC (Personal Computers)
The Iconia is definatly a specialized laptop. The new design is well suited for live performance DJing, web browsing is fantstic, and has also proved valuable for some photo editing. The touch controls are well designed but sometimes can be buggy, this laptop is not intended for standard users. The dual screens are simply fantstic for running multiple apps and provides enough performance to run multiple softwares without issue.

I imediately upgraded the built in memory to 8 gigs ddr3 1333, as this will improve multitasking functionality and provide almost desktop performance. I may invest in a faster system drive at a later date, I would not recomend ssd as there is only available drive bay, and I'm sure a 7200 rpm will provide a serious performance boost, as the 5400 rpm drives can lag at times. Not that Im not impressed with the standard 5400 rpm drive, it runs as fast as the last generations 7200 rpm, the buss speed is quite impressive!

I highly recomend... Read more

It is really awesome for my ps3, i got it for my tablet but it requires a password to hook it up to a tablet and the directions don't say what the password is so i am very displeased. I would give it five stars if i could find out the password.

I was not aware, when I ordered this product, how incredibly SMALL this product is! I don't see the purpose of having a keyboard of this size. It's not big enough to use the touch type method and yet it is too big to use thumb entry. I, personally, can't see a good use of this product. Also, unlike the title included in the product description IT DOES NOT WORK WITH VIZIO 8 inch Tablet. I sent mine back.

It would be a great product if it was a full-size or near full-size keyboard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work, May 22, 2012
This review is from: iKross Bluetooth Wireless Silicone Keyboard for HP TouchPad, Acer Iconia A500, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch/10.1 inch Verizon LTE 4G, Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101, Motorola Xoom, Toshiba Thrive, iPad 1 , 2 & 3 The New iPad , ViewSonic gTablet, Dell Streak 7, Asus, ipad 3 (the new ipad) 2012 version, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This keyboard initially worked ok, though the keys are incredibly small and dificult to depress. Typing on it, I often made mistakes due to delays between depression and key response and integrity of the contact to actuallly type the letter. I was often 3 words ahead before the typing showed up. Slowing typing to the keyboard's capability helped and I adjusted. However, even though this keyboard is mainly kept flat when I'm not using it, only 6mo later I cannot type anything. It's like the keyboard has a mind of it's own typing keys I'm not depressing repeating keys at a rate of about 20 per second, erasing them as fast and repeating them again. I do not even have to touch the keyboard more than once for it to go on this rampage. Needless to say at this point it's completely useless. I leave for Thailand in 2 weeks and need a water proof keyboard. Now I have to get another one. Rediculous.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tablet, May 8, 2011
This review is from: Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer (Aluminum Metallic) (Personal Computers)
I'm typing this review on the A500 now. I was deciding between an Ipad2 (and had actually purchased one), an Asus Transformer, and the A500. I became frustrated with the limitations of the Ipad 2, and once it became clear that the Asus Tranformer wouldn't have adequate stock for weeks, I decided to give the A500 a try. No regrets, and I ended up returning the Ipad2.

Why this is better than an I pad 2 -
- Micro SD card slot gives this all the memory you practically need with just a 16 gb model. Cards are cheap - you can get a 32 gb card for $50. No card slot on the I pad 2.
- USB port makes file transferring easy. You can plug in external flash drives or a USB keyboard. Yes, it has a USB host port so it can externally power or charge devices through the port. No USB on the I pad 2 without buying a $30 adapter.
-HDMI port - easy projection to your HDTV. The A500 screen has about the same aspect ratio as most HDTVs, so you will be able to take full advantage of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Why so much angst about buying an Iconia Tablet?, July 14, 2011
By 
R. Mcmillen (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer (Aluminum Metallic) (Personal Computers)
So I've been on the sidelines agonizing about which Android tablet to buy.

Every blog and magazine is filled with lots of negatives about each tablet they review. After reading all of the negative vibe I was paranoid about buying an Android tablet so I decided to wait.

Then the unexpected happened. My wife bought me the Iconia for Father's Day and surprised me. I was stuck.

Reality has set in now and it's great.

I've never had Honeycomb crash on me. I surf the web, get my gmail, get my Outlook mail, IM, buy apps, play games, check the weather, read books and it's a blast.
The screen quality is great and I love the motion backgrounds. Wireless speed is fine, 32GB is plenty, and I'm glad to have the USB port for future options. Execution speed is fast and everything I care about runs without issues plus battery life is multiple days.

So after two months I'm scratching my head to find a negative... Power cord too short... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good tablet, with some issues that will probably be fixed soon, May 9, 2011
This review is from: Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer (Aluminum Metallic) (Personal Computers)
UPDATE - 6/27/11 -
I did get a software update a while back for the A500, and it did fix the screen waking up, this made it so that the battery will now last for a couple of days of light use before it runs out, compared to being plugged in everyday like it was before when the screen would wake up for notifications.

I haven't really noticed any other large changes from the previous version. On the other hand, I did see that a leaked version of the 3.1 upgrade is out on the web today, so we should be getting that upgrade soon, and it sounds like a lot of enhancements are in that update.
