Archos Generation 9 devices - any good at internet AND media?

[Just Some Guy]

Like the title says, are they any good for both internet browsing and media playback?

I know that my old Archos 5IT can barely handle browsing, but its video format and codec support is still good enough to handle modern formats, even MKVs with alternate audio and subtitles.

So surely the newer tablets are just as good (maybe even better) while internet browsing has gotten better, right?

Does any one have any experience with the current Archos tablets?

The battery won't charge past 87% with a gomatic 1A charger and 93% on the usb. (charged for over 48hrs). Transfered 200+gb and battery went to 13% after about 80gb and 1hr, While obviously plugged in via usb. Tried the gomatic charger and the battery immediately went to 10% and falling.
And yes it has clocking noise present in the audio signal too, and output is low- about 78 db with sony earbuds at full volume.
How can anyone make such a worthless, non usable product? An exorcise in futility.
