I was wondering if anyone had any views on the Archos Platinum 97 9.7" 8GB IPS Tablet?
I am looking at getting a ~10 inch android tablet pretty much purely for browsing the web and watching 1080p mkv files (movies and tv shows, up to 15gb in size and up to ~ 15mbps video bitrate). Obviously any tab will be fine for browsing so my main concern is getting a tab that can take any bluray file i can throw at it with no stuttering/juddering.
I was completely decided on the nexus 10 32gb due to the screen resolution and cpu/ram as it should be able to handle anything. However now i've seen this archos which has a quad core cpu and good enough resolution for 1080p movie playback. It would be quite a saving to get the archos and add in my existing 32gb micro sd card rather than shell out £389 on the nexus.
They are currently on pre-order here on overclockers so i'm assuming no-one has any first hand knowledge, but looking at the specs should it be up to scratch? Is the quad core a7 better than the dual core a15 for 1080p playback?
Any opinions greatly appreciated.
