La Acer Iconia B1-71 is a cheap alternative to Nexus 7, its benefits are inferior in many ways but its price is also inferior, and in a substantial way. Today we show you these seven-inch devices together in a couple of videos so that you can judge their features directly and more closely. It must be remembered that the price difference between the two tablets is approximately 80 euros, so let's see in which sections this amount is noted.
Just yesterday the news broke that the brand Acer prepares cheap new tablets for summer of this year 2013 in response, we believe, to your satisfaction with the sales estimates of the Iconia B1. The seven-inch market is a very lively area today. Of course, the Nexus 7 it attracts a lot of attention and its commercial success has reached very high levels in some territories; exceptional case is that of Japan where this tablet of Google has managed to overcome to the almighty iPad. AcerFor its part, it is presented with a modest device, but with a price very adjusted to its benefits, especially if we take into account the strategy of Asus with Memo Pad 7, another tablet of similar range.
To get into the subject, although both the Nexus 7 and Iconia B1-A71 They are 7-inch tablets, we see in the first video that the design of the first is superior in several ways: the frames are thinner and the device has smaller dimensions, that is, a smaller box hides a much more powerful machine. In addition, the back cover, as stated in the second of the videos, is of higher quality in the tablet of Google. Both teams are made of plastic but the Nexus has more grip and is more comfortable in the hand, while the Iconia it's a bit slippery.
Regarding the resolution of both screens, that of Nexus It is clearly better with 1280 × 800 pixels compared to 1024 × 600 with the tablet computer. Acer. The processor of the second also shows a lower performance: its processor is 2 cores and has a frequency of 1,2 GHz for the 4 cores of Nexus 7 1,3 GHz. Google it has practically double the RAM, 1GB versus 512MB.
However, unlike what happens with the Memo Pad 7, the price in the Iconia B1-A71 It is a differentiating element, since it costs 120 euros, that is, 80 less than what the price is worth. Nexus 7. In addition, although it originally has less storage capacity (only 8GB), it supports 32GB micro SD cards, so in the memory section it is well assorted. The clear purchase if we can raise our budget to 200 euros is still the Nexus 7, but looking for something cheaper, this tablet of Acer is maybe a better choice than memopad de Asus.
