From DailyTech: Taiwanese OEM Acer, Inc. (TPE:2353) was a star of the personal computer market last decade given it role as a leader in the netbook craze. But as netbook sales died down and tablet sales ignited, Acer has fallen on harder times. But the company continues to steadfastly stand behind its Iconia line of tablets, which launched in Nov. 2010.
Its latest model, the Acer Iconia Tab 10 (Iconia A3-A20), continues Acer's strategy of pushing mid-range hardware packages at low price points. A fourth generation design the Iconia Tab 10 inherits the legacy of the past Iconia 10.1 tablet family members.
As with recent generations there's two different display options -- the baseline WXGA (1,280x800; 16:10 aspect ratio) offering and a higher resolution WUXGA (1,920x1,200 pixels; 16:10 aspect ratio) variant.
The biggest selling point of the new model is the price. At $199 USD for the baseline WXGA model and $249 for the full HD (FHD) WUXGA model, this is one of the most affordable tablets on the market. The baseline model is comparable to the LG Electronics, Inc. (KRX:066570)(KRX:066575) E10 tablet which is currently retailing for around $220 USD. On the FHD side, the Iconia Tab 10 is similar in spec to Hewlett-Packard Comp.'s (HPQ) 10 Plus tablet which retails for $265 USD.
