Acer Iconia A500 10.1" Honeycomb Android Tablet Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with Linus Tech Tips performing an unboxing of the Acer Iconia Tab A500 10.1 inch tablet, highlighting the model’s place in NCIX’s inventory and the reason for the unboxing, which is to present the device before the customer picks it up. Linus walks through the feature set shown on the box, noting the device’s wide viewing angle, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a 5 megapixel rear camera, HDMI, and micro SD expansion. He identifies it as a Honeycomb Android tablet powered by a Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor with a 1 GHz clock, and mentions the 32 GB configuration among other storage options, along with a 10.1 inch LCD display and dual cameras. The presenter then inventories the included accessories, such as a notebook cleaning cloth, quick start guide, passport, an AC adapter with regional interchangeability, and a USB data cable, explaining how the universal power adapters reduce waste. After unboxing, Linus examines the device’s physical layout, pointing out the micro HDMI, dock connector, hard reset switch, full-size USB port, and micro SD slot, as well as the orientation lock switch and volume controls. He tests the power button, notes the device boots successfully, and comments on the front and rear cameras, the LED flash, and the two rear speakers, comparing the audio output to other tablets like the iPad 2. The video closes with a quick hardware comparison against the Toshiba Thrive and iPads, conceding the Iconia Tab fits in the mid-range category, before inviting viewers to subscribe for more unboxings and tech content.
