  • Hi fellow Acer B1-a71 users, I would better suggest you to root your tab so you can experience a nexus-like feel of this tab (or atleast a lot better than the usual non rooted tab). Check it out at xda-deveopers.com. Enjoy this great tab from acer. Thanks.

  • The tablet is awesome. But I am not satisfied with its battery.

  • this tablet so bad allways frezze /hang this suck men

  • icant find the file manager, please show me how to find it

  • can we make calls on this tablet

  • Can I download the Whats up application on this tab

  • very smart

  • Pretty nice tablet for its price. When it comes to the hardware the only issue is ram and that its only a dualcore. When browsing with more then 3 tabs while having music running in the background, things can randomly crash or shutdown along with a lowram message in the corner of the screen.(Happens with the webbrowser the most.) Handles games like Worms,Worms 2 and Carmageddon on android and even emulating games fine. (up to some ps1 titles) Tested Grand Turismo 2 and Grand Turismo 1. Handles NES,SNES,GBA,GBC,GB fine ofc ^.^ (have to get used to touch controls ofc heh.) (It helps alot forcing no other apps to be running aswell. Go into the developer options ('Background process limit' set that to 1 or 0 then it runs nice and smooth when browsing and other simple things.) Only thing is that touch might stop responding in some apps if you havent restarted it in a while. like Death Rally,Carmageddon,RE-VOLT It has no official support for 'Sonic Dash' for example but managed to install it via external apk files and it ran a bit slow at times but worked pretty ok no graphical glitches but a bit random framedrops at times. Heavier games like 'Sonic allstars racing transformed' is not a pleasant experience though. Graphical glitches and random blackscreens is very common on lowend devices like this one. Quake 1 touch is also running pretty well.

  • Dear, Expert . Please advice i own acer tab iconia as oer the system it says usb compatiable when i try with micro usb cable its not working please advice how to install or this system has not the facility to use. as per the acer coopration its mention yes . [email protected]

  • I'm planning to buy one... i just hope it had a sim card slot..

  • My Acer Lconia B1 Tab Never Connect My Pc Mass storage Moode How Can I dO??

  • i bought this tab last year... and so far everything is good even the battery, i used it for long hours

  • its not that bad

  • I knew this tab,it's very bad because the battery is not good..I charge my tab for about 8 hours but still not full and when I used it the battery is very fast to empty,and in the other hand no camera on the back..

  • no file browser?

  • hw to load aitime using my tablet as i dnt see the dail option

  • Bad! Bad! Bad! Also disapointed about - NO BACK CAMERA! PLEEEAZ ACER, do a re-call and get this sorted for your loyal customers!!!

  • am also disappointed with the fact that thez no back camera,are we supposed to take pictures of our faces only?

  • im using this tab for a while now and i'm very satisfied with it so far.. there are a lot of reviews says it always closes on them.. but need to think because of low specs u don't have to bombard it with a lot of games.. i only have two games (plants vs zombies and zombie tsunami) and lots of epub and ebooks; the tab works great! i also use it for net surfing and it works great as well, cam is not good but its ok i don't do selfie..resolution is somewhat pale compared to my samsung.. audio is good but not loud, i used earphones and audio works well, overall, this tab works great for me but if u are up to gadgets, this will not suit you, but if u already have one, the technique is not to install too much apps.. this comes in handy, i use it during my class and monitor students attendance.. very affordable too.. i know Acer is a reliable brand, thanks Acer..

  • thank you

  • All tablet or gadget sort of will lag when we try to install all of the games and applications on it not thinking of its limit. Its wise to uninstall unwanted apps before we install new ones. Hope this helps. Mabuhay Manila!

  • This tablet is very reliable, im using it everyday for browsing the net over wifi. Im also satisfied with the battery life, however poor resolution and angle makes no sense for its durability. Its up to you to manage its resources. Techie fellas know what I mean. Acer is acer. A descent tablet for its price. Thanks. Mabuhay Manila!

  • thank you

  • dont know why' acer product using bluetooth is not easy to transfer file using bluetooth. all i do is wait.. wait... wait... wait... then nothing happens. LOL.

  • the file manager is just there ...just look for it... but if its not there.. then try to get a file manager app. much easy for u.so u wont have a hard time looking for it.

  • i have two iconia B1 - the airphone input jack is not that durable long term use the input jack losen ,have a hard time adjusting just to make it sound good. bec. ive been using the B1 for sometime now'evrytime i surf the net and i touch the screen its unstable (screen shakes)evrytime i scroll. before it was new it looks ok but for 5 to 8 months now this happens.. dont know why''.

  • I think the cost of this tablet is very high in comparison of its facilities. On line Shopping companies are taking its advantage selling two time cost of actual price. Since this tablet is providing as few as now a days requirement people like me harassing due to loss of hard earned money after its purchase.

  • ??

  • sorry i want to ask if this tab can use a modem for using data bundles? if u know pls let me know...i want to buy it but using WIFI alone is nt a solution for me

  • i have this tab for almost a year and still dont know where the file manager located at...hmmmm

  • how to turn off the speech output?

  • Did you give her a cheap gift too? As they say; what goes around comes around. :)

  • My girlfriend gave it to me for anniversary a year ago.. Quick review (Sorry sweety, but this tablet is amazingly horrible) -1.2ghz Cortex A-9 is soooo slow, it can't and barely run the Real Steel WRB.. Other game might run just 'ok'.. -Cam perfomance is horrendous, no vid support.. -the Jellybean 4.1.3 can't be upgraded to 4.3 for improving speed, really dissapointed.. -The best part is, games always force close when heavy demanding game run like Dear Hunter.. Not just games, even apps will force close due to 512 MB RAM!!! -Bad, Bad, Bad tablet ever.. even the cheapest chinese made tablet no brands at the same price will outperform 1027 times better than this.. -Rooted isn't easy.. -Battery just hold for 45mins on 50% brightness for 720p vid full charged battery.. -Screen is sucks,bad bad viewing angle.. -I recommended save your buck rather than buy this cheap plasticky and can bent the tablet for your own sake of life.. -I will traded-in for Moto G next month..

  • This tab was very nice for our daily use. Although it hangs for atleast once in a day, but every tablet hangs. Its very efficient to use and you will love using it especially playing games . But it hangs when I play Temple Run: Oz but overall its a nice tablet !

Am following all the instructions, download drivers from acer page, using the correct type of adapter to transform micro usb to usb pot but still my Iconia not recognizing the usb stick. Does anybody can help me with that? Thanks!!

  • it is a good mid range price tablet. my only question is if it supports video call with yahoo messenger???i've installed latest version of yahoo messenger but it seems that the video call buton is missing...is there a plugin for that?

  • Is this downloadable with microsoft office?

  • well this is good tab for the price. and now i see that acer have brought a 16gb version. wish i waited. storage is a niggle. especially for the big games. some are 1gb so not many those.

  • The best tab at its price range. Value for money. If you want 3g or fast game, dont comment this tab. It is not for that.

  • best set

  • I have one. And I love the mic, the sound is clear and I use this tab to record my song and upload it.

  • this product hace a document editor or only viewer?

  • Just a little issue with the "internal memory" This tab has only 1G of internal memory available, The rest is used to emulate an SD-Card called "Internal SD-Card"

  • Yes, Netflix and Youtube work OK.

  • Yes, wifi only.

  • I can simply plug the cable and my desktop (win 7) immediately detect it. Maybe you should upgrade your windows version to windows 7 above��

  • having had this tablet for a weeks. i really like the product. it works well. Screen is not bad, but does suffer from poor veiwing angles. but its a £100 tab. so you can forgive them. Again the only niggle i found is not being able to run Real Racing 3, just a bit laggy to play. but thats a ll i found so far. great tab good buy. well worth it.

The Aspire P3, Iconia W510, W511, W700 & the W701 all have great features, sleek design and reasonable price although only the W701 has a sim card slot. I was hoping to find more info here of the W701 which seems to be currently available only in Germany & Austria.

  • worth for its price...game very smooth...1.2 dual core processors and far better than asus memo pad!

  • My acer b1's loudspeaker mutes if i plug in headphones. I suspect yours is a defective piece, you can get it replaced if you need to.

  • This model have bluetooth, front camera but no rear camera, you can extend memory card. 100% better than ASUS MEMOpad which is no bluetooth? no slot for extended memory, and not to forget asus is SINGLE CORE processor.

  • i cant play Top Eleven Football Manager (Facebook Game) on iconia B1. it provide me to install new flash player but it says not compatible.. what can i do to have that required flash player on my tablet? :)

  • absoloutly this tab...

  • Anyone can tell which is good Asus memo pad or this tab? Memo pad doesn't have blutooth, how about this tab? Thanks.

  • We have yet to receive a review unit from Acer Malaysia but at RM399 it is a good alternative to China-brand tablet (priced between RM200 to RM350). It should augur well with beginners or with parents who can't afford to buy wi-fi only iPad mini (RM999) or galaxy tab 7.0 (RM899) for their kids but require a product from a well-known brand. A good strategy by Acer to build their brand name among future generation. Razlan Hashim editor sainsteknologi

  • nice phone copy of nokia lumia 800

  • Buy it if the spec served you well. No need to ridicule or bash the product. Everyone has different usage/requirements. If you prefered high spec from unknown China-made tablet with one or three-month warranty, go ahead and buy it. It's your money. If you prefered low spec but from a well-known and trustworthy brand, go ahead and buy it. Again, it's your hard earned money. No body is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to buy. :)

  • yes & yes

  • No USB dongle support make this worthless for me.

  • Can I read pdf files? Is there an app I can download for that? Thanks.

  • uh... i dont know... btw asus can play 1080p video, battery & gpu are really good. but hasn't bluetooth nor gps. just watch review on youtube to decide... ow, acer hasn't usb otg capability, thats the worst cons at all.

  • if the acer b1 compare to the asus memopad me 172v, which device should i choose?

  • i have had both the acer b1 and the google nexus 7 - and apart from screen resolution - i see no difference! the acer b1 for £99 is very good. colorful screen, quick, plays angry birds smoothly etc BUT the only problem I have with the B1 is the sound issue. When listening to music - if u plug some headphones in - the sound does not mute from the speaker!

  • yeah. but some video format like avi can't be played perfectly. picture can run but no sound... for movie and gaming better go to Pippo or cube u30gt mini...

  • admin, this device GPU is PowerVR SGX531.

  • Is it comptible wen downloading at google play? Pls reply asap

  • GPU is imagination technologies PowerVR SGX 531. temple run 2 run very smoothly.

  • what GPU does it have? can it play Temple Run 2 ???

  • but, acer iconia tab b1 can play 720p (HD) video right?

  • no, it doesn't. i have it, and it is not tablet game. better you get rockchip chipset tablet (rockchip 3066 or above) for awesome result of open gl es 2.0. the best parts of Acer are baterry and software update.

  • Hi Guys, I just received this from ebay.in yesterday. It is really awesome! 1.) Great build quality (not premium finish, but it is sturdy). 2.) battery life 5-6 hours. 3.) Great Screen (viewing angle is good when screen is in landscape, not that great for portrait, but it is good enough for one persons use. If two people need to see it at the same time, then you need to keep in lanscape mode as portrait you'll have to keep your heads close together to see properly. Overall a great buy, two thumbs up

  • Is this tablet can play 1080p video? Need answer now, please!

  • Does it suports internet dongle ?

  • After many attempts with a cheap unnamed Chinese piece of junk which ended with me throwing it at a wall, I bought one of these. £99.99 for a 7" tab? Well, the difference was amazing. Dual Core processor, GPS, Bluetooth, 8 gig memory, and jelly bean o/s! I have been using it quite a bit, and I am very happy!! Had a software update within half an hour of turning it on. Acer have drivers for it as well! All in all, great item. Sounds a bit naff but hey, it works very well and I'm more than happy. Tethers to my phone no problem.

  • This tablet is good. battery life was better than expected. smooth and fast. just that camera cannot make it. worth the price.
