#KOBO ARC10HD 1080P#
The tablet’s 10.1-inch HD+ touch capacitive screen delivers a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels at 300ppi that enables 1080p video watching. The stereo speakers found on the Kindle Fire HDX 7 tablet.With dimensions of 253 x 172 x 9.9mm (W x H x D) you are unlikely to slip this tablet into your pocket especially as its weight of 627g could put a strain on your clothing. Tablet but as the case with most, it’s crackly at higher volumes andĬan’t really match the richness and the directional sound produced by The two rear mounted stereo speakers are exceptionally loud for a There’s very little to get excited about in the sound department,Įither. It’s just a shame about some of the other niggles the screen suffers from. The 10-point multitouch, capacitive display registers swipes, presses and gestures excellently. One area we can’t really fault the screen is responsiveness. Viewing angles are decent enough but the colour issues are even more noticeable, if you are not looking at the screen straight on. It’s a bit like someone taking a really good picture and unnecessarily tampering with the saturation afterwards. It’s does manage to deliver sharp, detailed images for video, but colours look oversaturated. Even at maximum brightness it lacks the luminosity of screens like the Nexus 10 and even small tablets like the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 and Nexus 7. On paper, it makes for good reading but there’s a few that let it down from being a really top notch screen.įor starters, the screen is a little on the dull side. The Arc 10HD features a 10.1-inch 2,560 x 1,600 HD display with a 300 ppi pixel density matching the Nexus 10 and surpassing the vibrant 1,920 x 1,200 LCD resolution screen on the Xperia Tablet Z. This, combined with the great heft is a serious problem for the 10HD. There’s really sharp corners at the bottom of the tablet and make it extremely uncomfortable and difficult to use for long periods, too, so bad we had to put it down after a short period of use. That’s heavier than the Nexus 10 (603g) and the new Note 10.1 (540g) and it really shows once you get your hands on it. Weighing in at 627g it’s beastly fella as well. The Arc HD 10 at 9mm thick is not as slender as the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (7.9mm) or the Nexus 10 (8.9mm). The front-facing camera sits up top above the screen and around the back are the two stereo speakers that are easily avoided when you need to hold the tablet in two hands. Over on the left side is the 3.55mm headphone jack, micro USB charging port and micro HDMI port to connect to a HDTV. There’s a red sliding switch up in the top right hand corner to turn the tablet on and off with the volume rocker (and page turner) located in close proximity. The slim black bezel leaves plenty of screen estate to read ebooks on and around the back it has a strikingly similar angular design to the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7. When it’s becoming increasingly difficult to make a tablet that looks and feels different from all the others out there, the Aura 10HD does its best to stay away from simply being branded another boring black slab.

Priced at £299.99, the 16GB version of the Kobo Arc 10HD is a cheaper 10-inch tablet alternative to the Nexus 10 (£319), Xperia Tablet Z (£379) and the 9.7-inch iPad Air (£399).
Don’t be fooled though, this isn’t an e-reader it is a tablet so you won’t get the awesome battery life that devices made for reading books have, like the Kobo Glo.
