Acer Iconia Tab 8: Stylish and simple, but skippable

The Good: The Acer Iconia Tab 8 has a slim build and stylish aluminum back. It has a microSD card slot and a micro-HDMI port. Performance is smooth when switching between apps.
The Bad: Large games and apps are sluggish to load. You can't uninstall most of the pre-loaded software.
The Bottom Line: The Acer Iconia Tab 8 has the design edge for budget slates, but you can find a faster performing tablet in the same price range.
