Even at full brightness it doesn't shine too much though. The brightness slider for the display isn't in the settings menu but somewhat hidden away in the quick settings unlocked by a tap on the bottom right. The display panel has good coverage in the SRGB range, although the greens are both a little off. The Chromebook Tab 10 measured with the sRGB gamut. All you can do is change the size of screen items or activate/schedule the night light and its color temperature.
Display settings are also limited compared to Android. YouTube, Netflix and the like are perfectly enjoyable in rich color detail, even if brightness is somewhat lacking. The display looks good, but doesn't shine brightly. , and typical tasks such as email and web browsing all appear clear and easy on the eyes.

Acer's made a practical tool that's meant to be carried around and put to work every day.Īn attractive display that lacks customization It's one of the more comfortable tablets I've gripped and it doesn't slip or wobble on surfaces. In daily use, I found myself appreciating the secure feeling of the grooved back and I liked the metallic blue color. The grooves on the back do a lot to help your grip. Along the bottom, we've got three more speaker panels and a USB Type-C port for charging and wired connections.
On the left side, we find the power button, a battery indicator light, the volume rocker and a microSD card slot near the top and a dock for the stylus on the bottom left corner.
This tablet is well-equipped with ports. The top of the tablet features an audio jack, a microphone and three speaker panels. The bezels aren't exactly slim but are quite reasonable for a tablet where you need some extra space around the display to grip. The Acer Chromebook Tab 10 weighs 1.21 pounds (550g) and measures 6.78 x 9.38 x 0.39 inches. The front is clean with an unobtrusive Acer logo on the bottom and a discreet camera up top. It's clearly designed to take a few knocks or fumbles at the hands of awkward high-schoolers. It's reasonably lightweight and elegant in an attractive cobalt blue color but also feels reassuringly sturdy thanks to the rippled backside. The Acer Chromebook Tab 10 is obviously no luxury showpiece but still strikesĪ good balance between style and practicality
