The Asus MemoPad 7 is built perfectly adequately - which is all you can ask for in the budget category - but it is let down slightly by its software. It's one version out of date
But more importantly
Because it isn't a Google Nexus family member

As a budget tablet, the Memo Pad HD 7 perfectly fits the bill. It's fast enough, has all the features you'd expect and a particularly vibrant screen. It's keenly priced and generally offers an excellent user experience. It's also light enough to use comf...

When compared to other tablet PCs in this price range, the Asus Memo Pad HD7 offers a lot in terms of functionality, design, build, and performance. The battery life really surpasses other rival devices in this price range. Plus, the Memo Pad HD7 offers a...

Thanks to a good-quality screen and a battery life that rivals some of the best tablets on the market, the Asus MeMo Pad HD7 is a decent option if you're looking for a tablet under £200. It's just a shame that the processor sometimes shows its limits, tha...

There's not much to complain about with the Asus Memopad HD 7: it's affordable, app-packed and it gets the job done. But for now, it's not the best bargain out there: the going going gone Nook HD from Barnes & Noble can be had for just £99, with simila...

Screen attracts fingerprints, Asus User Interface can be overwhelming, Can get sluggish during heavy use, For $80 more, you can get a cutting-edge Nexus 7
Asus continues to prove again and again that it's possible to make a tablet that is both affordable and worth having. The Nexus 7 line was proof enough, but the Memo Pad HD 7 takes it one step further. The great display, above-average cameras, thoughtfu...

The Asus Memo Pad HD 7 is a decent tablet that offers slightly upgraded performance to the original Nexus 7. However, thanks to Asus' decision to release it at the same time as the new Nexus 7, which offers superior performance and more up-to-date softwar...
The Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 is a top budget tablet. If you don't like the restrictiveness of something like the Kindle Fire HD, and don't want to splash out on a £200 New Nexus 7, this is a top choice....
