ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet Review

Score: 31.5 / 100

ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet is a not very powerful tablet, including a fast processor ticking at 600 MHz and a big 8 inches screen. That's all? No, it's just the starting point of this in-depth review.

This device ships with a fast processing unit clocking at 600 MHz. This tablet counts with a decent 4 GB internal memory, which is fine knowing that the ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet also has a slot for an external memory card .

Archos onlymade the ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet in black color. The ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet is 10.35 inches long and 8.66 inches wide, but it's only able to pack a smaller 8 inches display. It appears that Archos forgot about weight optimization in this 28.22 ounces tablet device.

Archos equipped the ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet with a mediocre 8-inches screen, and a 600 x 800 resolution, giving this tablet a regular graphic quality. This screen uses TFT yes technology, but it's not multi-touch.

The ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet provides wi-fi capability (although it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a hotspot). This tablet doesn't have a sim card, because it's not a GSM enabled tablet.

The ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet has no cameras at all.
