Today we have received some interesting information about a device that had given something to talk about due to its different design. It's about the Archos 101 XS, the first tablet in the range Archos Gen10 XS . A blog specialized in Archos expected the French company Archos to make its official launch today. And that's how it has been, being able to keep an eye on it in the UK. This occurs a few weeks after their first leaked photos reached us.
For what we know it is a Android hybrid tablet with Ice Cream Sandwich with a screen of 10,1 inches with a resolution of 1280 x800. It has an OMAP 4470 processor composed of two Cortex A-9 cores a 1,5 GHz y 1 GB of RAM. It will carry a storage of 16 GB expandable by microSD card up to 64 GB. We highlight that it is only 7.8 mm thick, being one of the thinnest tablets on the market. Connects by WiFi, GPS y Bluetooth and has ports microUSB, HDMI y 3.5 mm jack. Its battery is 6800 mAh allowing 10 hours of autonomy.
When we say that Archos 101XS It is a hybrid tablet, we mean that it incorporates a magnetic sleeve that without connecting simply protects the screen, but that when connected serves as QWERTY keyboard and support thanks to a folding tab.This magnetic sleeve is powered by the tablet, but if connected to the network, it recharges the tablet as a However,.
This detail is reminiscent of the Asus Transformer range, but being magnetic and very thin I would say it is more reminiscent of Surface. The cover is really thin. It is 1 cm thinner than that of Asus Transformer Prime and only 1mm thicker than the Apple Smart Cover.
All the events have happened quite quickly. In March an official video of Archos came out where it was announced where they showed that they were working on the project. Less than a month ago, the photos of this tablet were leaked when the FCC passed the control, that body that monitors the quality and reliability of products before they can go on the market in the United States. There we already saw its measurements and it was possible to see it inside and thus find out its technical specifications. From that moment, it raised a certain stir since it was an advance compared to the low cost tablets that the French company usually makes, such as the Archos 97 Carbon, which attracted a lot of attention for its price.
On August 1, an official photo was leaked announcing that we would see her in three weeks, that is, today. That is why the French blog specialized in Archos tablets, Arctablet, indicated the date. Today at Techdigest we have been shown the tablet out of its box and it is presumably that it will be dressed long at the IFA in Berlin.
Its price is said to be Libras 299, that is, about $370. Really interesting and competitive in the hybrid environment, especially in price.
