Back in November, Archos launched their new Archos 70 fitted with a small but fast 8GB solid state drive. Today, Archos has started shipping their larger capacity Archos 70 with a spinning 250GB hard drive, offering users significantly more storage space for their media and applications.
Specifications and Features
The new larger capacity Archos 70 250GB retains nearly all the same specifications as the SSD version, ensuring that users do not have to compromise on performance. It features an 800 x 480 pixel (WVGA) multi-touch screen, which provides a clear and responsive display for all your multimedia needs. The device is powered by a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, which is capable of handling a variety of tasks with ease. Additionally, it includes a 3D OpenGL ES 2.0 graphic accelerator, making it suitable for gaming and other graphic-intensive applications. The HDMI output allows users to connect the tablet to a larger screen, making it ideal for presentations or watching movies on a bigger display.
Design and Storage
The main differences between the two versions, excluding the increased storage, are the lack of a Micro SD card slot in the 250GB version and the expected increase in size and weight to accommodate the larger hard drive. The Archos 70 250GB is 4 mm deeper at 14 mm and 100g heavier at 400 g. While this makes the device slightly bulkier, the trade-off is a substantial increase in storage capacity, allowing users to store more videos, music, photos, and applications directly on the device.
The increased storage capacity is particularly beneficial for users who need to carry a large amount of data with them. For example, professionals who need to store large files for work, students who want to keep all their study materials in one place, or media enthusiasts who want to have their entire music and video library on hand will find the 250GB version to be a valuable upgrade.
The new Archos 70 250GB version is available to purchase for $350, while the Archos 70 8GB SSD version is available for $275. This price difference reflects the additional storage capacity and the convenience it offers.
The Archos 70 250GB provides a significant upgrade in storage capacity while maintaining the performance and features of the original SSD version. Whether you need the extra space for work, study, or entertainment, the 250GB version offers a practical solution without compromising on the quality and functionality that Archos is known for.
