Is the Acer Iconia Tab A10 good for gaming?

Only for simple or older games. The chipset and 4 GB of RAM struggle with demanding 3D titles, and owners report lag with several apps open.

Is the screen sharp enough for reading?

It is usable but not crisp. The 1280 x 800 resolution on a 10.1-inch panel leaves text and video visibly soft compared with full-HD tablets.

How long does the battery last?

Acer rates it at about 10 hours, and owners say it gets through a day of light browsing and video. Heavy use will drain the 5,000 mAh battery faster.

Does it come with a keyboard or stylus?

No. It is a plain Wi-Fi tablet, so a keyboard, stylus or case has to be bought separately.

Can it replace a laptop?

No. It handles browsing, email, video and simple apps, but the limited performance and Android app set do not cover full desktop work.

Our take on the Acer Iconia Tab A10 10.1" Tablet

The Acer Iconia Tab A10 is a 10.1-inch Android tablet with a 1280 x 800 display, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage and a 5,000 mAh battery rated at about 10 hours. It is a basic, budget-class tablet aimed at light web browsing, video streaming and simple apps rather than demanding games or creative work. Its 17.3 oz body and modest screen resolution put it behind sharper full-HD rivals, and the 3-out-of-5 owner rating reflects mixed feelings about speed and build. It suits buyers who want a large screen for casual use and can accept the trade-offs.
