The screen is in fact from 9.7 inches with a resolution pretty standard. Above a picture of the new model of tablet that will come to Europe soon for a price that should be around 249 euros, the same band of the famous - albeit young - Nexus 7. We're going to discover all the technical details of the Archos 97 Carbon, with its aluminum body.
