Archos 101 XS

 

An Asus Transformer rival Android tablet from Archos.

Decent connectivity ; Relatively low-cost ; Respectable overall performance

Mediocre battery life ; Some serious build problems ; Could do with some stabilisation updates

For all the details, performance results and our definitive verdict on the Archos 101 XS, have a read of our full review which will be coming soon. But at first blush, Archos seems to have created a decent budget tablet if you’re after something that...

Archos 101 XS

 

Archos hasn't had the greatest success with its run of Android tablets. Having pushed out an Android device way back when, the French company found itself falling foul of the Google certification problem. We know how important desirability is to...

Coverboard is innovative and mostly works well, value for money, physical connections and expandable memory

Some build quality gripes, speaker performance, battery life isn't great, Coverboard is a little too lightweight, finish scratches easily

We know how important desirability is to consumers. Although the Archos 101 XS is smart, is it going to be desirable enough to for the £299 asking price? For a 10-inch tablet, the price is pretty good, but it’s only £30 cheaper than an iPad 2 and those...

Archos 101 XS tablet review

 

A 10in hybrid Android tablet, which starts at £300. But can the 101 XS offer business users functionality?

The budget tablet market is hotting up thanks to Google’s Nexus 7, and Archos has done well to offer something different with the 101 XS. In practice, though, the Coverboard and its keyboard don’t work particularly well – its quirks and shortcomings...

REVIEW: Archos 101 XS Android tablet with Coverboard keyboard case

 

Offering up a full 10-inch Android tablet experience alongside a nifty keyboard/protective cover for under £300, the Archos 101 XS looks a bargain. But can value for money help you overlook a string of bugs? Read on to find out!
