  • Is it the new model?

  • +4

    Good price for now. I will buy it when the price reaches $149.

  • How is this better then Nexus 7 ?

    • It has an SD card slot? Asides from that, it's not a fair comparison since the Nexus is a 7"

    • The only thing is 8" which some prefer like me.

      • i think ipad mins's size is perfect with the slim frame. 7" is a little bit small as a tablet.

    • +1

      it has a 5mp rear camera, hdmi output, expandable memory slot. it has similar specs to ipad mini except its half of the price but heavier and bulkier (or not as stylish).

      • just online chat on binglee, and was told on sd card slot………confusing

      • But this one doesn't have an IPS screen whereas the N7 does?

    • How is this better then Nexus 7 ?

      1" matters a lot , just ask any of the ladies.

      • You're doing it wrong lol

  • Hi OP you might also want to add it also should qualify for the bonus 1 year Accidental Damage Cover
    http://www2.acer.com.au/acercareplus/index.html?utm_source=L…

    Noticed this under the product detail tab (Special Offer) on the acer product website http://www.acerstore.com.au/acer/store/index.php/iconia-a1-8…

    • "A handling charge (excess) of $75 inc GST applies for each Accidental Damage claim." Very good on them Excess charge is 50% of the product cost.

      • +4

        Well, why should Acer be completely at cost if you drop your damn tablet onto a rock? I think that's certainly a fair excess for this item.

  • I thought only the cheap chinese tabs had an MTK processor ?

    • MTK is a Taiwanese company as well. They are reputable and growing fast due to huge demand in Chinese tablets. Their price is very compatitive.

    • MTK is probably one of the better budget cpu's around, asides from Rockchip.

    • Yeah not as good as Nexus, also the resolution kills it

  • +1

    7" is too small & 10" is too big for some. may be 8" is the right size?

    Obligatory "that's what she said" ???????

    • -5

      joke like this gets old very quickly.

      • +4

        That's also what she said…

    • +2

      Well done for waiting 2hr 45 min. I really expected to see this much sooner! Sadly, it was the first thing to come to my mind when I saw the post description.

    • How about 15 inch? lol

    • 8.5" is the right size:)

  • can anyone tell me how the cashback works ?

    • +3

      • +2

        make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. Acer are one of those companies who will deny your claims very quickly if you don't follow the instructions.

        • thx mate

        • +1

          one question, do you know if I can cash out the full amount of $29 from the Acer cash card at the EFTPOS? Thanks

  • Guys does it have a front camera and what's the spec on it?
    Couldn't find it anywhere.

    Edit: GSM arena says VGA front camera…

    Bad for Skype / video calling :(

  • Any other major retailers selling this at the moment?

  • Just bought one from my local Bing Lee, asked for a better price and he took it down to $190 no major haggling required.

    Side by side with the Nexus 7 and the Nexus is stil la nicer device but this will make a cheap TomTom / Music PC for my car

    • is it responsive as Nexus 7? what's the screen like in comparison to nexus 7?

      • Screen doesn't feel as vibrant. Responsiveness feels identical and the touch screen sensativity is on par.

        I was just sold on the fact it has microSD for my music and movies, and HDMI when i travel and wish to use a TV.

        • cool, thanks.. hope the battery will last for a while too.

        • Not many proper reviews so have to annoy you lol. How is the screen with displaying pdf/ebook and movies? similar to nexus 7?

        • interestingly, the specs has LED-backlit IPS screen listed on some websites.
          http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/tablets/acer/iconia_a1-…

        • In terms of reading and quality of movies I'd say the Nexus 7 is sharper and more vibrant. I no longer own a Nexus 7 so can't directly compare it.

          Not sure if its IPS then again IPS is a term loosely thrown around these days.

    • Cheaper than we can get from supplier.

      May wait for Galaxy Tab 3 8" which look nicer.

      http://www.intomobile.com/2013/06/11/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-80…

    • Does it have a GPS receiver? Information and specs from preview sites for this tablet seem contradictory. Specs from Bing Lee indicates it does not. Thanks.

  • ordered. thanks op! hopefully it is not crap lol!

  • Thanks op! I picked up the last one at Fairfield, and they're giving me a free case. They don't have the case in stock though, so they're going to call me another day when it's available.

    • Did they mention any details about the case? I forgot to ask… Saw on the receipt the RRP for the case is $39.

  • +1

    full review is here although it's written in Chinese.
    http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=605&t=3400967&last…

    Conclusion from the review which is translated to English using Google.

    pros and cons:
    Benefits:
    1 Bluetooth, GPS, USB OTG, HDMI OUT, built-in microphone, you can insert the memory card fully functional.
    2.MTK four core operating really smoothly.
    3 power, receive power remaining 2/3 of the battery, use the next day at night before going to charge.
    4 good price, but also warranty than the big brands, no problem.
    5 fingers touch unique unlock from hibernation, you can use less power button.

    Disadvantages:
    1 screen yellowish, not really compare it can be seen.
    (2) Weak speakers, the sound is too small and thin.
    3 built-in camera without autofocus.

    I hope to increase the function of the firmware update:
    1.A1 though it is Android 4.2.2, but it did not seem to support miracast.
    2.A1 currently only supports USB OTG FAT32.

  • I bought one yesterday , all OK except the text readability. It is not as clear ad Toshiba AT100 7 inch. It seems this us due to 1064x768 resolution. Branded tab for 190 inc bonus case.

  • +1

    guys, i just did a live chat with Bing Lee. The delivery will take place in 10-14 working days while they are getting more stocks. So it would be good if they can make the invoice date as the delivery date.

    Edit: confirmed they are not allowed to change the date of the invoice. This may result in the cash back from Acer due to 14 days from purchase date policy.

    Note: to cancel an order, simply reply to the Order# email with the reason of cancelling.

    • update: James S. at Bing Lee says they will get stocks on Monday and ship them on Monday so we'll hopefully get it in a week.

      Cheers

      • Monday the 17th? to be shipped by (at minimum) the 20th? Anyone had any experience with their shipping speeds?

        EDIT: Thought I'd ring them up myself just to be sure :p Was told that they were expecting stock today or Monday, and I would 'definitely' receive it in time for the cash back

    • I entered the postal code and it did say in stock in store. So in that case better buy it in store and the cash back active until 30Nov, so no need to hurry.

      • Not if you're in an area without a store close

        • Yeah but no other store like HN, JB have it yet may see what is the standard price.

      • Need to send all supporting documents to Acer in 14 days after purchase date. Yes, he said on 17 June Mon, they'll have stocks in the warehouse. Rrp 249$

  • Picked up at Binglee instore for $188. They offered me a bonus case but was out of stock. But the touch screen doesn't seem to respond at times.

    • +1

      Damn, envy you guys with local stores :/

  • If anyone finds problem running flash contents, this would be handy:
    http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a501-general-discu…

  • anyone had any updates? I contacted them through live chat and said minimal 3 days dispatch. plus 3 days delivery. No guarantee on stock right now.

    • better call them up.

      • did your one get sent out yet?

        • not yet but i'll call them and find out.

          edit, anytime today but most likely tomorrow from their warehouse.

  • Yah, i've contacted them as i have ordered one and they told me that it will be in stock on Wednesday and the delivery time is 1 to 3 weeks. … i've made a complaint about this.

  • Just got an order shipped confirmation from BingLee (with Couriers Please Tracking#)

    • nice! when did you put your order through? still waiting for mine =(

      • got an email saying it will be dispatched this afternoon. ordered on thursday.

      • Ordered Friday morning

      • thanks for the reply guys. Just called they told me to get stock today and will ship out on Thursday. I ordered on Thursday. Just want the blardy thing to come on time for cash back.

      • woohooo. got mine. did you guys get a case as well?

        • i thought they will send the case sperately?!

        • thanks OP, got one in my hand with a bonus case.

        • Good news. Still playing the waiting game… I expect it'll be an extra day or two before it gets to SA.

        • The other good news is they allow me to submit the documents till 13 July which is one month after the invoice date after I register the cash back.

        • how did you score that? I am sending the stuff today just to be safe. Yeah the case was a nice bonus. Made me feel better after seeing the vip deal by acer.

        • Yeah mine got delivered to sydney. So They picked it up last night from bing lee and delivered this morning.

        • Call and mention to the sales at Bing Lee saying your friend who went to Fairfield store and got a free case. Can you get me a free case as well?

        • Our local store had same deal last week but staff said bonus case is only white. How is your store? I wanna get grey. Who can swap the case with me?

        • white for mine

        • .

  • just got a new system update today. runs even more smoothly now.
