![]() The Kobo UI is the most compelling aspect and it certainly stands out in a crowd of cookie cutter tablets. This tablet is Google certified, which means you have Gmail, Maps, Chrome and the Play market available to get more apps. #Kobo tablet update#The Kobo Arc 7 HD is running Google Android 4.2.2 and right out of the box a 200 MB update is waiting for you. The WIFI can also get spotty at times, if you don’t have a strong connection the UI will crash when you access your collections, because a ton of content is dependent on the internet. The speakers are the con strike against it, as they are muffled when the tablet is laying on its back. On a pure hardware level the Arc 7 HD is a very solid mid-range device. I found the front facing stereo speakers on the original Arc tablet are actually better than the one found on this device. The speaker is actually positioned right at the top of the device, and looks to be creeping to the top of bezel. Other ports include Micro USB, 3.5 mm headphone jack, front facing 1.3 MP camera and a rear facing speaker. This is very useful, as not many e-reading focused tablets even bother with HDMI. This will allow you to hook it up to your television or projector. One thing Kobo has added to the Arc HD is the inclusion of a Micro HDMI port. There is no expandable storage with this model, so make sure you buy the one that suits your needs. There is also 1 GB of RAM and 16/32 GB variants for storage space. Underneath the hood is an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor that is running a very solid 1.7 GHZ. #Kobo tablet upgrade#This is quite an upgrade in screen technology over the original Arc, which only had 1280 x 800 HD resolution and 215 PPI. It currently has over 323 PPI and will play back videos in pure 1080p. The Kobo Arc HD features a seven inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels.
