Acer Iconia Tab A700 review: a 10-inch ICS tablet with Tegra 3 and a 1920 x 1200 display

[![Acer Iconia Tab A700 review][1] ][2]

We'll skip the long contextual intro about how high-powered Tegra 3 tablets are becoming a dime a dozen and get straight to the meat: the new [Acer Iconia Tab A700][3] is an NVIDIA-powered slate with a super-charged screen. Yes, this device is all about the display, and we're talking 1920 x 1200 pixels on a 10.1-inch panel. And until [ASUS' Transformer Pad Infinity][4] goes on sale next month, this is the only Android tab with that resolution you can get your hands on.

At the risk of spoiling our whole review, bright colors and a high resolution make navigating Acer's branded build of Ice Cream Sandwich a treat, and its quad-core Tegra 3 insides make the tablet more than just a pretty face. But the WiFi-only Tab A700, retailing for $450, is not the only good ICS option around -- and it's not the most budget-friendly, either. Let's take a closer look to see if its considerable advantages make it worth swiping that plastic.
