The ACER Iconia 500 has been chosen as our 2nd of 2 Mid-Level project tablets that we also highly recommend. The ACER Iconia 500 is very close in all respects to the ASUS Transformer Eee except in price which is about $50.00 USD cheaper. Other than the price difference, both tablets are exceptional values, perform very well, have practically every key feature of the higher priced tablets and once again choosing between the 2 Mid-Level Tablets is just a matter of end-user preference.
