Archos 80 G9

The Archos G9 80 has a medium-gray plastic chassis and its 1.08-pound body feels light and relatively thin. Holding the tablet in our hands, we noticed a number of distinct edges on the sides. For instance, on the bottom, where two pieces of the chassis meet to enclose the tablet's innards, is a rough and somewhat sharp unrefined edge. Not slice-your-hand-open sharp, but enough to be uncomfortable if you hold the tablet from that particular side for an extended amount of time.
On the Archos 80 G9's right side, near the bottom, sits the volume rocker. On the left edge is a Mini-HDMI port, followed by a headphone jack, a Micro-USB port, a microSD card port, and the lock/reset button. When the tablet is held in landscape mode, its button placement is obtrusive, and many, many more times than we'd like, we found ourselves accidentally turning the volume down or locking the tablet.
