1 out of 5 stars   Could be an Expensive Paperweight!
By Steve on February 17, 2012

Review submitted for Acer ICONIA TAB A500-10S16U 10.1" Tablet with Android Refurbished (ARA50010S16URB)
Pros: Web Browsing, Netflix Worked Well, Good Screen, WiFi
Cons: Bricked during OS update, Acer support sucks, Android OS major issues
Other Comments: Used it for a couple of hours and it was great. Web browsing was fast, watched some of a Netflix movie and video was smooth. Unit is nicely made and even though this was a refurb came in like new condition. The problem came when I installed the required updates. First OS update went fine second OS update unit completely locked up. Absolutely no way to get the tablet to function again without sending it back to the manufacturer! I am very tech savvy and tried every possible way to roll back / reinstall the OS via SD card etc. Read all the online forums on how to fix this type of issue all to no avail. Tablets are not like PCs where you can just reinstall the OS if something goes badly wrong. With this in mind it is essential to buy from a company that supports it's products and Acer IS NOT that company. Something like a $100 to get any kind of tech support - what a joke. Or send the unit back to Acer for repair! My advice go iPad or go home. At least if an iPad goes wrong there should be an [@] reasonably close that can deal with such an issue. Otherwise you may end up with a very expensive paperweight. For the [$] I paid I would say this tablet is reasonable value (if it worked) however you would be totally mad to pay the [$] retail price when Acer has literally no customer service. I shipped my unit straight back to Beach Camera for a full refund - bravo Beach Camera awesome no hassle customer service.

Other Comments: For just a little over $200, this blows the doors off of the iPad. I have the iPad 32Gb Wifi model and bought this for my 12 year old son for Christmas. I like this so much better, that I am about to sell my iPad and get myself and my wife one of these. They are fabulous. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

5 out of 5 stars   Refurb Acer tab works great
By Naturalrush on December 31, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Acer ICONIA TAB A500-10S16U 10.1" Tablet with Android Refurbished (ARA50010S16URB)
Pros: Useful, works
Cons: Heavier
Other Comments: I've had this tablet for about 3 weeks now. It is my first tablet. It's also the first touch screen device I've owned other than a cheap Coby music player. It's been a great experience so far. I really like being able to read email and browse web pages without being stuck in front of a computer. Android is a bit flaky at times and the lack of quality control with apps compared to Apple shows but it's not a deal breaker for me.

5 out of 5 stars   Incredible Tablet
By Punch Rockgroin on December 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Acer ICONIA TAB A500-10S16U 10.1" Tablet with Android Refurbished (ARA50010S16URB)
Pros: Honeycomb 321, Battery Life, ProcessorGraphics, Full size usb, Screen size
Cons: Screen Glare, Heavy
Other Comments: This is an awesome tablet. Granted, I've only handled other tablets for a short period of time, but this thing does great what it does. Sitting on the couch surfing the net, watching Netflix, playing games. We also use it with a DSLR app to remotely control our Canon T2i, which is awesome. The full size USB was the main reason for purchasing this brand. The girlfriend also used it to keep entertained while on an extended road trip (and subsequent breakdown) with Angry Birds, which is great at the 10 inch size. You notice it's a little heavy after a while of holding it... some sort of case/stand is a must. This thing is beyond awesome.

Review submitted for Acer ICONIA TAB A500-10S16U 10.1" Tablet with Android Refurbished (ARA50010S16URB)
Pros: Features, Power, price
Cons: Expensive wifi dongle
Other Comments: Good unit with plenty of power to drive my old JBL L-100/Dynaco A25 F/R combination. I pipe zone 2 to a high power FM transmitter sending internet radio anywhere on my property. I can change stations from my Android phone. I like that. Pretty easy to learn considering the amount of features. Just read the manual. I hard wired the network because the wifi module is pretty pricey.
