tablets are not one-size-fits-all and that is something that our coast seems to recognize here we are going to check out very quickly the Archos chef pad the archives 8 0 Z nan and the Archos 10.1 XS 2 let's see what these three very different tablets have to offer so this is the ARCA chef head it is the lowest end in the in the lineup and it is not differentiating based on traditional specs here we'll talk about that screen in a second but you notice this kind of silicon cover over the tablet the tablet ends far before it but this cover comes in the box because as you might have guessed by its chef pad name this is meant to be used in the in the kitchen that's a 8 excuse me that's a 2 megapixel back-cam it's also a 2 megapixel front camera get some swipe marks on the screen they're all good and powered on this display looks a lot like the display on the HP TouchPad the resolution is 1024 by 768 it is not trying to blow you away as far as pixel density goes and probably that holds true for performance stamina so we're pretty zippy here to to a degree oh we got notifications down here sorry about that anyway this is meant to get dirty and nasty and mean in the kitchen and to get flour all over it and there are some apps you can download to take advantage of that front facing camera for some Samsung like gesture screen moving anyway then there's a special little zone of the Play Store this chef HAP's which we're not finding anyway that's the chef pad let's move up to the mid range if we can and a smaller tablet than you might expect when we're moving up in in terms this is the Archos 8 0 xenon or the 80 xenon this is an 8 inch display which might seem hard to believe because these vessels are really really big this reminds us a little bit of a Galaxy Note 8.0 actually with these bezels that lets you grip the tablet without worrying about touching the screen and also you'll notice the earpiece up top Anton really wanted to do this video but you know it's it's his favorite type design but you can actually hold this to your head the court is not is not long enough for me to demo it but you can do this if you want to because it has a 3G radio inside the cellular connectivity and so on if you're interested in the specs on this one this is a 1024 by 768 as well IPS GPS onboard Aaron Android 4.1 jelly bean by the way if you're wondering about that build it is a very close to stock build of Android jelly bean except we've still got the notification area down below where we tend to like it finally ending up with what we think is probably the most interesting thing on the table at least to us Darko's 10-1 XS - this is powered by a quad-core processor at 1.6 gigahertz quite GPU as well 2 gigs of ram the IPS display is 1280 by 800 these are not competing crazy on resolution but you pop the tablet out of its doc here there's a magnetic action going on you go ahead and I'll show you the dock arrangement go ahead and flip this back knock it down there and then these devices come right together to protect the display a lot like a netbook or an ultrabook or something like that you go ahead and separate them again and popping them together is a little bit more convoluted thanks to this origami like doc Stan once you get the hang of it and just pop it right in there this was announced I believe our coach tells us just a couple days ago once again very stock like Android the stereo speakers here keyboard with somewhat minimal travel but that's to be expected given the thickness of the device or really the lack thereof so just a quick look at the latest line of interesting somewhat nish somewhat unique tablets from Arcos we're still at Aoife that's still N Tom do you know J I'm still Michael Fisher we're still Pocket now keep watching and stay tuned for more
