Archos 405 (2GB, purple)

(30/08/07)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: As the Archos 605 WiFi's little sib, the Archos 405 holds its own as one of the best portable video players for under $200.
Pros: ; The Archos 405 offers a big, beautiful, glare-free screen, above-average audio quality, SD Flash memory expansion, and Mac/PC compatibility, at a very attractive price.
Cons: ; The Archos 405 has only 2GB of built-in memory; battery life is just average; and the lack of a kickstand or built-in speaker is disappointing for a PVP.

Archos 405 review


Summary: : Attractive and affordable, but the unimpressive screen hinders its desirability... Read the full review
Verdict: The Archos 405 is an attractive and affordable portable media player for those on a budget. It offers good sound quality and supports high-quality video, but the screen isn't anywhere near as good as it could be. If you can't afford the Archos 605, this may be what you're looking for
Pros: ; Sound quality; price; build; drag-and-drop support in Windows; expandability; SD slot
Cons: ; Average screen; many expandable elements require costly plugins; no kickstand
