101 G9 vs 101 G9 Turbo

Hi there, i will buy a archos 101 for me. As far as i know there are three versions of the 101 right? I wonder if there are big differences between them? and how can i identify which one has the 1gb ram (between the basic version of 1ghz and the turbo version of 1.5ghz)?
Hope you can help me thanks a lot.
The only one with 1GB ram is the 1.5Ghz Turbo, it should say on the box if it is, if it doesn't only way to confirm is update it to ICS
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
But is there a big difference between the two models? Or should i buy the cheapest one
With 1GB of RAM all is a bit smoother, especially multitasking. And I heard it is a bit better manufactured.
I would not buy the old version unless it's atleast 100€ less. Even then I'm not sure.

Humm ok ok i just dont know if i buy this tablet of there is a better solution than this one at the price asked here in Portugal turbo will cost 309€ do u think this tablet is worth it?
Do you think it would be sensible to upgrade from an Archos 80 g9 250Gb 1.2Ghz 512Ram to the new Archos 80 G9 1.5ghz?
It will cost me $80US to trade it in for the new one, that's the shipping costs. Should I just buy a new one for $315US? Or should I just stick with the one I currently have?
i have the twice
no big differences

Absolute bargain given that you would pay the more for a budget tablet (Nexus 7).
Picked up one for me and the wife today. Nice to have an Archos again, certainly much quicker than my old G9 (non-turbo)!

I had to return both of mine as they were faulty along with the others we tested in store.

Get the 16Gb version instead.
Better off spending an extra £16 and getting the 16Gb version instead :

Copy + Paste Failure

buy a fire i cannot register

I can pick up a fire that works fine but says it cannot be registered. would this be fine if I planned on running a custom rom and using the android market. The price is around $80. Is this a good tablet for that or am I better off buying something else. I have rooted unlocked and flashed roms on motorolla backflip and a couple of atrixes so I am not completely helpless in flashing and modding. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Ok another part of the question is do you think this tablet would run better than a brand new cheap tablet ( below $100). I know the fire i am looking at has a 1ghz dual core processor and 512mb ram I cannot find anything new with a dual core for this price. Do they run better than a tablet with a 1ghz or 1.2 single core and does the 512mb ram cause a problem
I am looking at this for a eight year old to play some games on maybe read and text with the pinger app
It`s fine for a custom rom just research how to do what you need to do before leaping.

The Kindle Fire may be inferior in some hardware aspects to those cheap tablets BUT a lot of those cheap tablets have horrible battery life! What's the use of having a tablet in which the battery only lasts 2-3 hours? They may look like a great deal but another thing to consider is can you actually upgrade them?.....the Kindle Fire has a huge following and because of that you'll continue to see lots of development for it.
ok so purchaced a couple cheaper tabs 1 new curtis tab for 50$. 1 new uniden for 60. and a used herotab for $36. the 2 new ones have ics and were easy enough to get gapps on and root (uniden came rooted). herotab runs gingerbread and i have yet to try rooting as it has gapps allready. all 3 have 1ghz and 512 mb ram. herotab runs the best in my opinion but it may just be that gingerbread is less demanding. i got these for my kids age 8 and 3 1/2. youngest actually does better on Android devices than 8yearold lol. i think they run fine for what they will do with them. i plan on returning one of the new ones. i also picked up a gallaxy note phone for myself $150 so i dont need a tablet... anyway thanks for all the advice (even if i went the other way)

As long as they keep working. I went through 2 tablets b4 these I think they were d2pad or something like that. better specs but out of the 2 of them had about 10 minutes of use before just froze and would not work at all. they went back to the store. I am loving the note right now. It will be replacing my motorola atrix and I might switch my wife's atrix to samsung as well after moto failed to update.

When it will be available .. And at what cost?
Shipping of the first units should start around the middle of November - at least according to one reseller.
Quite a shame I went for the Vi10 Pro 64GB Z3736F, when this is coming around in a month (from China to Europe in 2 months with shipping?) for a bit extra price.
Hopefully I'll be able to swap it without any harm to my wallet, haha
There is a new vi10 ultimate with that chip you can check it om banggod

Impossible specs,cherry trail z8300 processor will not take 4gb ram ? if it was the cherry trail z8500 processor then it will take 4gb ram,so at the moment the specs are very unreal,also i thought this tablet was a 10.6 inch screen,it's down as a 10.1 ?
The price will be around $200. Pretty good for what you get if you ask me. Don't be fooled by these overpriced offers at Aliexpress. Banggood is a legit site and listed it at price below $190! And they marked the battery as a real 6800mah, not 8000mah. I 100% trust them rather than these sellers on Aliexpress having questinable reputation.
Could I technically Android and create a dual boot of windows/Linux mint on this?
I think that the real question, is wether the tablet has the z8300 or the z8500.
Because, as it has allready been said, the z8300 does not support 4gb ram
Anyone has any knowledge on that fact?

x8300 only allows for 2GB RAM so the CPU or the amount of RAM is incorrect?
Reply by GeekBuying 10/23/2015
Hello, dear sir
Thank you for your support to Geekbuying.
Yes, it's really with z8300 processor and supports 4gb ram, we confirmed it with the manufacture.
Hope our answers are helpful for you.
Best Regards!
Ugh I kinda want one of these but fail to see real world applicable use when I have a One plus One and a laptop already :/ ....

I cant post urls.
So search for "techtablets intel z8300 4g".
"
Many of the new Cherry Trail Tablets due to be released soon like the Chuwi Hi10 have Atom X5 Z8300’s in them, but with 4GB of Ram. I originally thought this must have been a typo, or it was the Z8500, as it supports up to 8GB of Ram. Well it seems the X5 Z8300 can indeed support 4GB of Ram, although Intel’s Ark claims it’s limited to 2GB & single channel.
"
see pictures of live operation system screenshots with 4GB.
The sellers "4GB" claims seem to be legit.
Eagerly awaiting the release of this to make my decision on getting one or going with the Teclast X98 Pro.

I'm just worried about the battery. Some people say 8000mAh and others say 6500mAh. Battery life won't be good if it's only 6500mAh.

I'm not an expert, but I did see that it has an 8000mAh battery rated at 6500mAh. Not sure what that means, but it sounds less than stellar for battery life.
Well I ordered on on black Friday and they said they will be in stock on December 4-5 and it ships via Netherland post (if you chose free shipping) so there will probably not be high (if at all) customs fees.

Update:
After some time of using it, so far the screen flickering is the issue most people having.
Some other issues such as black screen after sleep (it's half wake, but not showing login menu), and screen will off randomly while using bluetooth keyboard.

Hello, might be good to know what's your budged and what you want to "play" with the GPU along the monitors and resolutions you're using with it.

*A 60hz 1080p monitor.

Ok, 400$ isn't that much due GPU shortage...
GTX 1660 which might be available and within your price range
RX580 or 590 but slower than the 1660
RTX 2060 if you can get one used
RTX 3060 which is capable of more, but surely out of stock everywhere or too expensive depending on the shop

... That $400 won't cover, just, the CPU; and, btw., a 60 Hz monitor is ANCIENT. If you've purchased this new, 100% you're getting ripped off: check the production date, it may say something like "2006". :$

Have to get the 1660 Ti at the minimum. No question, to be able to run everything nicely... not that big of a difference price-wise, but it's a necessity. Someone (else) please confirm this, ty! =)

Onboard GPU which comes with 3400G.
450W is underpowered( aka. won't have pins) to power any GPU even the likes of 5500 XT(which is decent 1080p GPU but unavailable due to pandemic).
if you have normal budget then go for rx 5600 xt same as mine working best
