Our Verdict

The first Honeycomb tablet remains a solid choice in large part due to its strong overall performance and complement of ports. But newer models are lighter.

Motorla’s Xoom tablet is the first tablet to ship running Google’s tablet-optimized Android 3.0, a.k.a. Honeycomb. The tablet sports a dual-core 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of on-board user memory. However, we’ve found it not quite as iimpressive as anticipated.
