Video Comparison: Acer Iconia Tab A510 Vs Asus Transformer Prime

Eric McBride Apr 23, 2012

As the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I can tell you that I have become really dependant on this device since purchasing it last year. I use it at home, at work, when traveling, and I honestly feel it was one of the best investments I ever made in an electronic device. 2012 is going to be a huge year for tablets, and the great thing is that they are not only getting better hardware, but are also getting a lot cheaper (I paid 650 Euros/853 USD..they are MUCH cheaper now). Asus and Acer both have 2 VERY quad core tablets out right now, and deciding between them can be tough. Fortunately, we have great videos like this one below that show us a thorough, unbiased, and objective review of the Acer Iconia A510 Tab and the Asus Transformer Prime.

The video was made by Mobile Tech Review, and features Lisa Gade, who is one of my personal favorite hardware reviewers on the internet. I almost ALWAYS watch her video reviews before making buying decisions, and after watching, you will have a much better insight into the device you're debating on whether to buy or not.
