Archos has unveiled its new android tablet for its new ‘Element series’ named Archos 97 carbon. It comes with a 9.7” IPS display and is priced just above the 16 GB Nexus 7. This comes with android icecream sandwich rather than android 4.1 jellybean which its rival Nexus 7 is packed with. From the price it is clear that it is a budget tablet but yet it offers a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and has an aluminium finish. It is packed with a 1 GHz single core processor and 1 GB RAM. The device also provides a full size USB port and mini HDMI out port. Archos 97 carbon also comes with full google certification. Archos has given a pretty good start with its new ‘Element series’.

For a tablet in this price range Archos has really done a good job with 97 Carbon. It gives us all the features and also has a bigger screen and a good aluminum finish rather than plastic finish in other low budget tablets. But the single core processor is a bit disappointing. Its main rival is clearly Nexus 7 which packs a quad core 1.3 GHz processor and comes with android 4.1 jellybean. With all these features can Archos 97 carbon outshine Google’s Nexus 7? Let’s wait and see..
