Acer ICONIA A100 7" Tablet $139.99@ebay - w/ Free shipping -Refurbished

Link

Please note Acer Iconia Tab A100 is able to get the Android 4.0 ICS Update right now.

I have one A100 and love it. Basically, this is a decent tablet. However, battery is weak a little bit. Only can stay near 3 hours on internet surfing.

Rather than this, it may be better to go for something like the Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II for a little more cash. It's new, not refurbished, and you get a better 1024x600 IPS screen (better viewing angles) and a higher capacity battery (4000 mAh) for longer runtime. It has ICS too and based on the fact that it's not skinned by the manufacturer, it will probably get JellyBean (4.1) as soon as it's available publicly. Of course, the fact that Ainol is not from a known manufacturer may affect quality and support.

I'm still trying to make up my mind whether to buy the Ainol or the Nexus 7 but am trying to make up my mind what compromises I want to live with.

I had to return mine last month because of terrible wifi. Google a100 and wifi for more info but it appears very common

$40 less and HDMI port. Why should we be not buying this?

And Micro SD slot but looks like weak battery and 1SaleADay imo is getting themselves a less than stellar reputation.

They refunded my money for the tablet, but I was still out the shipping to send it back. I consider it the cost of my lesson for dealing with 1SaleADay. Lesson learned, and won't be doing business with them again.

Interesting. My refurbished Asus tf101 did not chanrge once battery is fully depleted and they sent me prepaid shipping label and refunded full money. It was missing the brown box as well..

Why is it EVERY single time someone posts a deal on a tablet, there has to be a response that starts..........."yeah, it's a good deal BUT....if you want to spend a little bit more you can get "X"...............or if you wait 6 more months you can get "X". I really hate that response.

Horrible battery life, bad wifi, NO!

I think 1SaleADay is a rippoff joint. bought a "factory" refurb portable tv from them and it was broke, and missing many parts (including the battery). The product box and product were physically beat up (not from shipping) and anyone with 1/2 a brain would know that it was not factory refurb. I think 1SaleADay just shipped me some beat up display item they got a hold of, no factory involved.
When I requested a return, they would not give me a shipping label, and wanted me to pay for shipping back what was clearly their fault. They also took over a week to get back to me.
No more business from me - be warned.

It's been 14 days since ordering the A100 with no shipment and no info from 1SAD.com.... Seriously thinking of cancelling my order.

This is my first time dealing with 1SaleADay.com, and reading about their beat-up and smacked-down units with no recourse is making me very wary.
