Archos 9 review

Archos is best known for its range of personal media players, although it recently entered the computing market with the Archos 10 netbook. The Archos 9 touchscreen tablet is its latest venture, but sadly proves frustrating to use. At first glance the device looks smart. The chassis is solid and thin, although prolonged use can be awkward due to the weight. Thankfully a fold-out stand takes the burden when used at a desk. Battery life - at 311-minutes - is excellent. The bright and sharp 8.9-inch screen makes up the bulk of the unit and impresses when used in darkened interiors. However, the highly reflective coating greatly limits outdoors use. With an Intel Atom Z510 processor on board, performance is comparable to most modern netbooks. Basic office tasks run smoothly, but only the most simple games and multimedia applications will work. Flawed usabilityThe greatest flaw is its usability. The touchscreen often proves unresponsive, rendering even the most basic tasks a frustrating experience. Selecting the wrong option in menus is all too easy, while dragging windows around is a shaky affair. A tiny touch-sensitive panel on the right side of the device can be used as an alternative means of control and fares slightly better.

Archos 9 PCTablet

If I were Microsoft, I would politely ask Archos not to sell the Archos 9. This tablet doesn’t just make its creator look bad, it makes Windows 7 look like it doesn’t belong on touch-enabled PCs. Sure, this $549, 8.9-inch tablet has some features the iPad lacks, such as Flash support, a built-in camera, and a USB port. But its resistive touchscreen is frustrating to use (at least without the flimsy stylus); the device runs hot; and it’s slow—like takes-a-few-seconds-to-pull-up-the-volume-controls slow. Archos recently upgraded the processor on its slate, but that’s not nearly enough to rescue this dud.The Archos 9 really isn’t that bad before you turn it on. The 1.8-pound device has a sturdy feel yet measures only 0.7 inches thick. Surrounding the display is an attractive brushed metal bezel, and around back you’ll find the stylus slot and a convenient kick stand—a nice touch for when you want to watch online videos or surf the web without holding the device. On the left front side of the Archos 9 you’ll find a 1.3-megapixel camera, a shortcut button (Ctrl + Alt + Delete by default), and a button to launch Archos’ on-screen keyboard. The left and right buttons are stacked on top of one another beneath these controls.
