The Acer Chromebook Tab 10 is great for education and light gaming, but it suffers from poorAcer Chromebook Tab 10 battery life and performance. Let me introduce you to the world’s first Chrome OS tablet: the Acer Chromebook Tab 10. Priced at $329, this tablet offers exclusive educational apps, graphics performance good enough to run top Android games, and a stylus, all wrapped into a sleek design. However, it also has some glaring weaknesses, including a less-than-stellar processor, shorter battery life than the Acer Chromebook Tab 10, a disappointing pair of cameras, and quiet speakers. But overall, the Chromebook Tab 10 is a great Chrome tablet for classroom use. It’s even featured on our Best Tablets for Kids page.Design: FashionAs a tablet designed specifically for students, the Chromebook Tab 10 looks very stylish.
The back of the tablet looks like a cobalt blue river, with its diagonal plastic ridges rippling across the chassis until they meet the pristine silver Chrome logo.The left side houses the power button, Chromebook Tab battery indicator, volume rocker, microSD card slot, and stylus dock, while the bottom has three more speaker panels and a USB Type-C charging port.More: Laptops with the best display brightnessThe Acer tablet’s brightness is 382 nits,
which is below the category average of 416 nits. While the Tab 4 10 Plus also fell short of the average (400 nits), the iPad beat it with 489 nits (489 nits).Tablet and stylusThe Chromebook Tab 10 picked up my fingers accurately as I navigated Chrome OS. However, I found the auto-rotate feature frustrating, as the tablet would often flip the display with the slightest movement of tilting it to a specific side. This forces me to lock the rotation. The stylus, on the other hand, is simple and easy to use. When I took it off the base, a prompt appeared asking if I wanted to take a screenshot, create a note, use the stylus as a laser pointer , or even use it as a magnifying glass.These speakers are barely loud enough to fill a small office with Imagine Dragons’ “friction,” so I’m not sure how they’ll perform in a classroom. The balance between treble and bass is decent, as I heard the bass beat during the opening, but the sound still lacks depth. Dan Reynolds starts the song with a deep voice and then switches to talking louder during the chorus,
but I couldn’t tell the difference on the Chromebook Tab 10’s speakers.While education is great, kids may also want to use the Chromebook Tab 10 to play games, and they do. While PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds doesn’t look great, the Chromebook Tab 10’s graphics performance was smooth enough to get me four kills, the best result of any PUBG game I’ve ever played.More: The best Chromebooks available nowThe benefit of using a Chrome OS tablet in school is that students can access exclusive apps like Adobe Spark, Lego Education, and Google Expeditions AR (the latter coming soon).Acer Chromebook Tab 10 battery lifeAfter continuous surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits brightness,The Acer Chromebook Tab 10’s battery life was just 6 hours and 49 minutes, dropping it to third place compared to the tablet average of 9 minutes and 43 seconds. The Chromebook Tab 10 barely lasted a school day, putting it at a severe disadvantage compared to the iPad (10:07) and the Tab 4 10 Plus
(13:06).cameraThe 2-megapixel front-facing camera did a good job of capturing the blue and lint-sized white patterns on my shirt. However, the image looks unnaturally mottled and grainy, as if I’ve turned the sharpness tab all the way up. The camera does a good job of controlling contrast, though, as the ceiling lights didn’t blow out and my face was bright enough that you could see my pores. The 5-MP rear camera also manages color well, as my incredibly nerdy Goku statue looked bold thanks to the character’s bright orange gi and blue sash. This image is naturally sharper, but the camera still suffers from the same sharpness issues as the front-facing camera, so the image becomes very spotty.Acer’s Chromebook Tab 10 is beautiful and offers many exclusive educational apps. The stylus works great and the tablet is powerful enough to play a few rounds of PUBG after the kids get off work.However, disappointingly,The Acer Chromebook Tab 10’s battery life lasts only a day at school, and its performance is slower than the competition. The Tab 10 also has a poor camera and speakers, all packed into a tablet that costs the same as an iPad.
