This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

The price is advertised in todays Daily Telegraph
as part of a 4 day sale
It came up as $99 on the web, but since it says $149.00 (I spoke with Debbie online and she tells me its $99 and she can put it through at $99 if the website has not been updated)
So please be patient, they seem to have trouble with updating the website so I suggest you ring or visit your local store

Well looks like they finally set the $99 price but now its personal shoppers only
Sorry about that! I have not bothered to ask them why !
So check your local store if you are lucky enough to have one near by

It was always a budget model usually sells for about $150.00 and was released early this year
AT$99 very cheap
unfortunately there's very little detail on the unit on the Acer site
It has Micro SDHC slot for added memory
Good for those who are yet to try a tablet

Model Number: T.L15SA.002

      Recording at 1280x720 with a 0.3MP Camera? That doesn't quite make sense. Either it is upscaling (which is a pointless waste of space), those specs are wrong or it is hiding a better camera somewhere.

      • RI4V4N on 11/04/2013 - 17:39

      • IVI on 14/04/2013 - 07:26

        HTC's ChaCha mobile also has only 512 MB RAM,
        and the low RAM -limits- its ability to install
        (&, sometimes, even to upgrade/update) app's.

        The trend it to -increase- RAM, ib higher-end
        Android devices, eg, Note II & Note 10.1

        This Acer is "cheap" for a reason…

        PS Its 8 GB storage is also a limitation…

    • killergreely on 11/04/2013 - 12:36

      512mb of RAM is pretty poor for any tab these days.
      No mention of a HDMI interface, which limits its usefulness.
      No explicit mention of a rear camera, though one assumes it has one? If not, yuk.

      On the upside, it has GPS and Bluetooth, which you often don't get on a budget tab.

      • aaronmehd on 11/04/2013 - 12:48

      It depends on what you want to do with it, if you just want to read ebooks, listen to music,watch some movies and browse the web etc. Then it'll be fine. The 512 mb of ram though might make it less responsive with a few tabs open. At $99 you ain't going to find anything too much better.

    8gb of internal space, the screen and 512mb RAM really make it unusable for just about anything frankly. Even 768MB of RAM was quite bad.

      Really? A LOT of people use these tablets for checking email, surfing the web, youtube etc and some incidental stuff. For that purpose the specs are more than adequate. Just because it doesn't meet your requirements (whatever you use it for) it doesn't mean it's Unusable. Such a generalised and ignorant statement.

      • auna on 11/04/2013 - 14:57

          Currently my web-browser (chrome) is using at most 76MB per tab. Android doesn't need to leave applications running in the background in the same way windows does; it is designed to run on very limited devices. A more powerful tablet would be nicer, even for browsing the web, but I can see a lot of people finding this quite usable.

        • gmatht on 12/04/2013 - 14:35

          I understand leaves application running till it runs low on ram, then it stops them. In theory Android applications seamlessly restart and the user doesn't even notice they were stopped. In practice, even Google own apps are a bit buggy, it doesn't make too much sense to compare memory use on a desktop to a tablet. Android is designed around you only really using one application at a time, for example you almost never have multiple overlapping application windows like you might have on your Desktop.

  • ScottEh on 11/04/2013 - 14:13

    In no way is this better than the Touchpad sale.

    From what I've seen of this tablet at work, it's definitely worth $99. Main reason is the screen, which is pretty damn terrible, low res and you have to be dead on in front of it for it to look clear otherwise it dulls dramatically. Pretty slow as well.

    Still, better than buying a no-name Chinese brand if you're concerned with warranty/support issues.
