It's also great for gaming, entertaining and surfing the web. Basically, the 101 G9 Turbo is designed for anyone who regularly runs several programs/applications simultaneously. For ease-of-use, Archos equipped the 101 G9 Turbo Tablet with the intuitive and user-friendly Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system, which offers both simple control and smart navigation.

Whether you're a musician looking for a sound generator application or a young professional in need of a mobile banking app, the Android App Market has everything you need to simplify your daily routine. It even offers hundreds of games and entertainment apps right at your fingertips.
To ensure maximum flexibility, the tablet's generous 16GB internal Flash memory is expandable thanks to the microSD (SDHC compatible) memory card slot. This way, you'll be able to comfortably store all your favorite music, videos, family photos, business documents, eBooks, local newspapers, daily podcasts, weekly magazines, movies and more.

In a matter of minutes, you can check the newspapers, download a game, buy some clothes, check the weather, and even communicate with friends and family via social networks or by using the 720p HD front-facing webcam. You can even configure several different email accounts using the pre-installed Email App, which can deliver email notifications on the tablet home screen. The battery inside the tablet is a powerful lithium-polymer rechargeable battery that supports up to 36 hours of music playback, 7 hours of video playback, and up to 10 hours of Internet navigation time. The powerful dual-core processor also allows you to play the latest in 3D games available from the Android App Market. It's rare to find a tablet that is built just as much for business as it is for pleasure; the 101 G9 Turbo from Archos is surely one of the exceptions - ideal for both work and play.

runs 1080p video smoothly and has a good-quality screen, and its kickstand is a useful addition.
has awkward button placement. Also, its single camera had poor recording quality.
The speaker delivers fairly high volume, albeit with tinny sound that lacks bass

Nice and slim design, very light

Although I have only had this tablet 10 days or so, I am really enjoying it. It has some really nice features. Good sound, easy to navigate. I have had a couple of glitches in the last couple days and hope they are related to free downloaded games rather than the tablet itself. Still learning about all it has to offer but feel it has been an excellent choice in mid priced android tablets.
