Archos 9 _ Reviewed

ARCHOS continues its path. And trust the move to Microsoft through the market, since the release of the latest operating system Windows 7 in late October, the touch pad 9 inches (22.8 cm). Like theArchos 5 Internet Tablet, it is fine. We measured 18 mm. The object, printed length (the definition of the screen is 1024 x 600 pixels), is relatively light: 811 g on the scale.


Metal frame around the screen on the left side, under one of two small speakers and the webcam, there are four buttons. The first two, bearing the letter A (Archos?) And the logo of a keyboard, are downright tiny. Too small. By pressing the button, we have managed to block it. Archos has done better in the past: the series of buttons 604 and 605 were even better designed! Two other buttons, below and indicated by ON and OFF, use left and right clicks. Pressing the button during operation of Windows, we obtain the equivalent of the Control + Alt + Del (to lock the computer, log off, change a password, or open the Task Manager). According to Archos is a convenient way to act if needed without using the keyboard (or virtual, or if external Bluetooth). The button associated with switch ON or OFF is also used to activate the wireless links (WiFi and Bluetooth). On the right of the screen is a button that turns on and off the computer. Underneath, there is a very small optical tracking (trackpoint). This is one of the most interesting the Archos pctablet 9.

Rear view, this is fake Archos 9. Not only because everything is plastic. But slots, slots, general appearance are not to his advantage. It moves away from the beautiful metallic shine and quick Archos 5 Internet Tablet. However, we must know what you want: the designer has favored the practical (and plastic?) Aesthetics. The cracks are due in part to the stand and battery. The stand which keeps the camera angle. Nearby, is the battery removable. An advantage over the Archos 5 Internet Tablet and the convertible tablet PC from Asus T91, which both have batteries inaccessible.

Miser in connection
By the turn of the Archos 9 pctablet there, under a plastic cover, an outlet. It serves to connect the machine to a port replicator (sold separately). It has only one USB port. Is little. Above all, there is no memory card reader (SD or other). No! It is a mistake, in our view. Because this device is presented as a computer. Its size and light weight, predisposes to mobility. A machine on which we would like to download photos from a memory card of digital camera. A reader might also increase the storage capacity of the computer (as is the case with some netbooks), limited here to 60 GB Even the Archos 5 Internet Tablet includes a micro SD Card Reader. Needless to say that the Archos has nine or Ethernet jack or VGA output. The headphone jack is there, but the only audio input is provided by the microphone. The presence of a 3G card slot was also well seen.
Back to the back of the unit where the hole housing the stylus. A flexible shaft. And the plastic stick is really not a luxury. Because the use of touch on the Archos 9 pctablet disappointed us. We believe that other users may have the same feeling. Since one year ago, two years of such "pleasant experience" in terms of tactile surfaces that the level of expectation (in parallel the standard) was high. Follow our eyes ... But it's not just the iPhone. With other devices, smartphones (like the HTC Hero), computers, such as all-in-one touch screen (if the HP TouchSmart), people realize the possibility to easily browse files, Web pages, to reduce or enlarge them easily with your fingers ... And it is not only capacitive screens. Good results are also possible with resistive screens. The proof: the Archos 5 Internet Tablet (again). The use of the finger on the camera is still fun. This is not really the case with the Archos pctablet 9, also provided with a resistive touch screen. The pen is really desirable or even necessary. Web browsing is not particularly comfortable either. We wonder, in this case, what Windows 7 has resulted in a tactile experience to the Archos 9 pctablet. In comparison, for example, the Asus T91 running Windows XP. In addition, we found the virtual keyboard impractical, lacking a sponsor. It is a level lower than the Archos 5 Internet Tablet. And for a computer, which can be brought to the text, it's embarrassing. Fortunately, to improve navigation, there is little optical tracking (TrackPoint) to the right of the screen. Small but effective. Used with the two buttons on the left acting clicks left and right, this pointer points back to the positive overall assessment.



Video level
Archos does live up to its reputation as a manufacturer of good video players. This tablet PC uses an Intel video card Poulsbo US15W. She is capable of playing HD video files to a width equal to 1920 pixels. The result is fluid. Archos states, however, it takes videos "HP 1080p H264. WMV files (Windows Media Video) HD gave us a bad display, and animation virtually frozen. An update of drivers not made by Microsoft, says we are at Archos ...
In continuous play with the brightness and speaker volume pushed to the limit, the machine took three hours. The manufacturer gives him an autonomy of 5 hours. Again, Archos certainly delight fans of video. Archos adds a good 100 € VOD to download from the Media Club and VTune provides software for reading Web radio and Web Tv But progress is also done for Archos: improving the interface.
