The Packard Bell Liberty Tab is a 10.1in Android Honeycomb 3.0 tablet of the type filling shelves for the past few months. In other words, it’s an imposing slab, with plenty of accompanying heft. It weighs 760g. Now that slimmer tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are available, this 16mm slab seems rather pedestrian. If you like your tech to be connected, though, you may quickly forgive Packard Bell. There’s space for an SD card slot, HDMI and a docking port as well as the usual power, volume and headphone provisions. A USB port and a micro USB port for charging also feature. If you wished, you could add 3G via a hotspot device for use on an ad-hoc basis. (See How to share a 3G connection).
