Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
From the back, the Acer Iconia Tab 8 doesn't look like a budget tablet. The textured, metal-like back makes for an easy grip and a sleek look. On the top left corner, in portrait mode, sits the 5-megapixel camera, just above the power button and volume rocker on the left side. On the right edge is a microSD card slot for up to 128GB of extra storage, which will come in handy in augmenting the 16GB of built-in memory. Along the bottom, you'll see three rows of dots for the speaker.
When you turn the tablet over, things get less classy looking. A plastic bezel tops the silvery edge, but doesn't sit flush. At the top of the 8-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, is a 0.3-megapixel camera with battery such as Acer TravelMate 7740 Battery, Acer AS10D31 Battery, Acer Aspire 1825 Battery, Acer UM09F36 Battery, Acer Aspire One 521 Battery, Acer Ferrari One Battery, Acer Ferrari 1100 Battery, Acer GARDA53 Battery, Acer TravelMate 3040 Battery, Acer Aspire One D210 Battery, Acer UM08B74 Battery, Acer UM08B73 Battery, and the screen is surrounded by a white bezel.
The very top edge of the tablet is home to the headphone and power ports, as well as the mic.
Measuring 8.4 x 5 x 0.4 inches and weighing 12.48 ounces, the Iconia Tab 8 is lighter than the Lenovo Tab 2 A8 (16 ounces) but heavier than the Amazon Fire HD 8 (11 ounces).
The 8-inch display on the Acer Iconia Tab 8 is colorful, but not very bright. Viewing angles were very good, even at extreme angles. But when I watched a downloaded copy of an HD trailer for The Hobbit, I had to question if I was looking at animation instead of film because everything looked blocky and blurry. Bilbo's hair and the lush countryside of the Shire seemed to turn into Minecraft-like blocks.
The Iconia Tab 8 offers a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, which is identical to the 8-inch displays on the Lenovo Tab 2 A8 and the Amazon Fire HD 8. The panel isn't particularly luminous, however. We recorded just 289 nits of brightness, while the average tablet puts out 367 nits. The Lenovo scored 368 and the Amazon Fire achieved 403.
The Iconia Tab 8 shows a decent range of colors, reproducing 87.5 percent of the sRGB color gamut (100 percent or higher is better). That's lower than the tablet average and the Lenovo Tab 2 A8's score (both 92 percent), but better than the Fire HD 8's mark (82.4 percent). The Acer pulled ahead with its color accuracy, registering 0.3 on the Delta-E test (closer to 0 is best).
Acer claims the Iconia Tab 8 offers the "most accurate touch and writing experience you'll find on a tablet." The company claims you can use thin-tipped objects like graphite pencils to make notes on the screen. I used the Acer EZ Note app with a series of implements, including a pencil, pen, metal letter opener and stylus, along with my finger. By far, the most effective option was my finger, and that required the same force as I would use to write on an iPad mini or the Fire HD 8.
The pen and letter opener created a series of dashes that no one could consider words, while the stylus and pencil worked for most, but not all, letters in a word.
