Negative Archos 80 G9 Review

[JohnLeeReviews]

After a month long review, day to day use with the Archos 80 G9 8Gb tablet running into issue after issue with this clearly defective device I finally had enough when it ended up going from a review to a rant.

Trying to find a silver lining in this device proved challenging as it just seemed to bring frustration

It is possible that some if not most of the issues I came across were in fact results of a defective device

Please consider this before judging against the purchase of this Archos 80 G9 8Gb tablet

I never had an issue with an Archos device, but many ppl have. Their products are DEFINATELY not as good as they could be though. And their software causes many an issue (I did encounter glitches, but I always found an easy solution - so I never really needed to post a help thread). Personally, I avoid Archos. But, tbf, the reason is sq and battery run time based. It was NEVER based on their devices performance. I still like what they make, but Archos just isn't for me (lack of customer support is the final nail in the coffin if a real issue DOES arise).

IMO, pass on this!!! Get a Samsung Galaxy Tab for the same $$$,...

The only problem with that is that most Android tablets have a terrible time decoding video, unless it's certain formats. That is the only real advantage of the Archos; with its massive codec support, you could put any video you could find on it and it would play without a fault.

But the lackluster performance of every other aspect makes their tablets undesirable. Which is a real shame, because an Android tablet with proper media support would be great.
