The big question is, what’s the difference between the Aurora and the Elf? Over at www.fastcardtech.com, the Aurora (8GB) is selling at $159 while the Elf (8GB) costs less at $139. What makes the Aurora slightly more expensive than the Elf?
Let’s look at their specs side-by-side:

Well there’s another minimal difference, the Aurora comes in a glossy finish while the Elf has the soft matte finish we saw on the Ainol Novo 7 Paladin. Other than that, they’re pretty much twins.
Both tablets use the ARM Cortex chipset so we can expect more compatibility with Android apps. If you see a 1.5GHz CPU on other websites, the Many Core A10 listed here can go up to 1.5GHz but is underclocked to 1.2GHz probably to save battery.
There you have it. Don’t pull your hairs trying to find out the difference between the two. It’s just the IPS display on the Aurora.
Amazing games palying show ! Do not miss it !
