Rated 100% by by Flyingdeadthing (Apr, 2012)If you're looking for a new quad core tablet, the A510 is a very solid choice.
Rated 63% by by c|net (Feb, 2012)While the Acer Ring is integrated seamlessly into the OS, its performance lacks the immediacy necessary to make it worth using most of the time.

Rated 63% by by c|net (Feb, 2012)Honeycomb had a little shortcut at the top of the screen, or you could press and hold the home screen, but now widgets have been grouped with apps.

Iconia Tab A510 by S.-R. (May, 2012)Over all I am happy with the screen quality, size and features, but my guess is that they still need to do some work on the OS.
Iconia Tab A200 by Tech-Geek-Max--TGMIt was a 10.1 inch (diagonal) display, and ran a dual core CPU of some make (ARM, perhaps)?
screen resolution
Iconia Tab A200 by c|net (Feb, 2012)One, it's a well-composed shot that shows off the rocker in great detail.

Iconia Tab A510 by c|net (Apr, 2012)The A510's 1-megapixel front-facing camera has your name written all over it, and as with most front-facing tablet cameras, it has little redeemable value beyond that function.
Iconia Tab A200 by c|net (Feb, 2012)As I mentioned previously, the A200 has a single, front-facing 2-megapixel camera.
processor
Iconia Tab A510 by c|net (Apr, 2012)Acer charges $450 for a 32GB, quad-core tablet, and while that would have been impressive even a couple weeks back, now, with the Transformer TF300 out here, you can get the pretty much the same features - and some nifty exclusive ones - with better screen performance and better cameras for 50 bucks less.
Iconia Tab A200 by Adam (Apr, 2013)Its too slow, no hdmi, it's a new tablet why wouldn't they use a newer gen quad core processor, too much screen glare, No rear facing camera.

cpu speed
Iconia Tab A510 by Cliff (May, 2012)It is a good product with high speed CPU, and respectable I/O including HDMI and USB.
Iconia Tab A200 by c|net (Feb, 2012)Depending on the speed of the CPU, Riptide GP will deliver a noticeable increase or decrease in frame rate.
battery life
15 hour
7.7 hour
Iconia Tab A510 by The Verge (May, 2012)My everyday use is a bit on the heavy side — web browsing, streaming music for a bit of background noise, a few hours of gaming — but the tablet kept on chugging for just about 10 hours.
Iconia Tab A200 by Annabelle-T.-Selorio (Mar, 2013)the battery life is very good... i'm doing some surfing, downloading, chatting, a little bit of gaming and at the end of the day.
