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 It's one version out of date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
It's not guaranteed to get prompt updates in the future when they do either. Some of Asus' additions to vanilla Android as well aren't entirely welcom
Great price; Quadcore power; Dual cameras; Fantastic battery life

The likes of Google, Amazon and Barnes & Noble have released some excellent budget tablets in the past twelve months, but the Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 has truly smashed its way onto the scene offering incredible value for money. Just £130 nets you a quad-core d...

The ASUS Memopad HD 7 is simply a very good 7-inch tablet, and it scored more than a passing grade in every test. It will be difficult to find a better tablet right now for 169 euros. Comparisons with the Nexus 7 come to mind, but that one is significan...
Abstract: Smaller tablets initially weren't always taken serious. Frequently they were cheaper models with not the most powerful specs. Samsung's first Galaxy Tab was an exception to this, and two years later the Nexus 7 proved that a quality tablet no longer nee...
Great value, Good performance, Memory expansion slot
Other, pricier tablets perform better, Battery life could be better, Controls on back panel hard to use
While it won't win many -- or any -- performance awards, the Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 (Est. $130) is a champ when it comes to the bottom line. It delivers a fully competent Android experience -- on a par with last year's Google Nexus 7 -- at a hard-to-beat pric...
So what's the final verdict on the ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7? If you're looking for a tablet under $200, this is probably the best tablet you can buy. But if you're willing to spend another $70, then I'd recommend the Nexus 7. Since it is also built by ASUS a...
Abstract: ASUS is a name we should all know by now, especially with the success of its Transformer tablets and being Google's partner of choice for the insanely popular Nexus 7. Now, we have the ASUS MEMO Pad HD 7, a budget tablet that take cues from the Nexus 7 (2...
Extremely affordable pricing, Packs both front & rear cameras, Variety in its color scheme
Cheap construction
There’s no arguing about the notoriety and prestige surrounding the newest version of the Google Nexus 7, as it reigns supreme in the 7-inch category, but the Asus MeMo Pad HD 7 is an equally impressive offering on its own. For beginners, it has the ad...
