Archos 101 Platinum Pro Reviews

The market is crying out for a more affordable full-sized tablet alternative to the iPad, of that there's no doubt. But the Archos 101 Platinum simply makes too many compromises to be that device. Its design and build quality are well below what I've come to expect, even from a tablet costing £200, and while it boasts a quad-core processor it's far from the speediest example. Most of all, thanks to the likes of the Google Nexus 7, Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and the Tesco Hudl, we've all come to expect a high definition experience from our budget tablets, and the Platinum is found severely lacking on this front. If you really want a full-sized tablet for less than the price of an iPad, consider splashing out a little extra on the Google Nexus 10. Otherwise, go for one of the above compact alternatives. In either case, you'll be getting a lot more tablet for your money.
