The £99 / US$130 Android Jelly Bean tablet is here, but only if you’re happy to accept a lower amount of storage.
However, the 16GB isn’t much more these days, coming in at £129.99 / around$210, and the one we’re much happier to recommend.
But are these so-low prices enough for this decade’s must-have gadget? Compare this to the competition: the iPad Mini 2 is over three times the cost, the Google Nexus 7 is only £199 /$299 for the same capacity, and is much better-specced than the 7-inch Acer Iconia B1-710, which is a bare-bones tablet.
Tablets are on the cusp of replacing laptops for note-taking(or boredom alleviation) in classrooms, lectures and meeting rooms, but the search is on for something that really fits the bill - and the 7-inch tablet size is perfect.
Just the right size to be readable, smaller tablets such as the Acer Iconia B1 are judged perfectly to fit inside the internal pocket of a suit jacket.
