For the price, Asus hits the sweet spot. Great budget tablet.
By Max Johnson
This is a very good tablet that come with a lot of useful features. The only main weak point is the screen resolution which is slightly outdated for 10" devices today, but its acceptable. The unit I had have some minor issues with the digitizer (touchscreen), but it was an isolated issue and I don't believe many others should experience it.
As of writing, I can not think of another device that come with all its feature at its price point:
-Tegra3 quadcore CPU
-standard microUSB charging port (not proprietary like the Transformer tablets)
-dedicated microHDMI port (TV connectivity)
-USB On-the-Go support out of the box (using a separate microUSB OTG adaptor you can connect things such as mouse, keyboard, flash drives and gamepads)
-microSD card expansion
-acceptable HD IPS screen
-great WiFi and GPS performance
-other little things like stereo speakers, front and back camera
Build: Two things I really like, first it have an even weight distribution and feel light for a 10" tablet. Secondly, it doesn't have heat issues. The tablet doesn't get hot at all, at most it might get warm, this can be a big deal in term of using the device comfortably for lengthy periods. It has a plastic body, but doesn't feel like it would fall apart. Though if you try to twist it or put pressure on the screen you can feel slight flexing. I definitely will get a case and screen protector for this. Just hoping the microUSB charging port would last since I feel it's not as firm as it could be, but this is just feeling about microUSB ports.
Performance: Sure the 1.2ghz quadcore Tegra3 CPU provided isn't latest spec anymore, but it still fast enough and can perform all activities with few stutters. You will be able to browse the web and watch 1080p videos smoothly. Gaming should be a good experience as well. I still think Asus can optimize their OS better, it is not as smooth comparing to full stock Android found in Nexus devices of course. You can expect the battery to last the whole day on a full charge.
Screen: Images and videos look great with decent viewing angle. For me the colors are just right, its not saturated so it won't be popping. If you are someone who is used to overly saturated colors this screen might look washed out to your eyes. Very small texts will not be smooth looking, its mainly due to the 1280x800 resolution on a large 10" screen. If you required sharp and clear texts and do a lot of reading, its better to buy a tablet with higher resolution. The screen is not protected by Gorilla glass so be careful with it and use screen protector. The touchscreen is extremely sensitive.
Speakers: It's nice they're stereo, they have a slight muffled or warm sound to it, but are decent and doesn't suffer from crackle even at high volumes. One particularly annoying thing is the sound from the speakers cause vibration to the back of the device (made of plastic) and can tickle your palm when you're holding the device. The remedy for this is simply to hold the device on its edges. Also, this device do not have a vibrating module.
Storage: You'll get a total of 11.7GB of actual storage space in addition to the a microSD slot. It doesn't take long to copy several gigabytes of data to the device and installing apps is fast. Running a benchmark program, I get a write speed of around 10-12MB/sec and a read speed up to 36MB/sec.
WiFi/GPS: I'm impressed with the WiFi signal and the download speed is fast. It appear to support both GPS and GLONASS and gets strong signal.
Cameras: They're average, you'll need good lightning to take good photos. It come with front camera/microphone as well, so you can do VoIP and video chats.
Important info about the digitizer (touchscreen): There might be a minor issues with inconsistent digitizer reading for this device, but its probably just the unit that I got. At times it doesn't detect 'tap-and-hold' and 'pinch-to-zoom' anymore. Also 'long gestures' can get choppy. For example, if I set a lockscreen pattern, sometimes it can be difficult to successfully draw out the full unlock pattern because the screen cannot connect your finger from point to point, it gets cut mid way and I get locked out of the device. These small issues pop up occasionally and spontaneously. I find that to help improve this issue, go to Settings -> Accessibility -> select 'Touch & hold delay' -> change the setting to either "Medium". This will help greatly, but it doesn't cure the problem completely. Again this is most likely an isolated issue with just my unit.
So far I'm very happy with the features being offered at its price point, except the issue with unstable digitizer. It's a good tablet to get if you are on a budget, but wants something with plenty of features.

ASUS MeMo Pad. High End At A Good Price.
By Marc Klein
The ASUS MeMo Pad is basically the Transformer Pad without the docking pins only better and while my 1st ASUS was the Asus Nexus 7 1B32 7-Inch 32 GB Tablet comparing it to would not be fair as that was done according to Google's specifications. What I can tell you is that this trumps that and here's why:
1)Dual Speakers
Most tablets have one speaker and thus you get Mono sound but with this you get two which provides stereo surrounding sound which, in my opinion sounds excellent and in some cases you can hear the vibration. I do think that the speakers were put in the wrong place but I think ASUS designed it with the theory that people will use landscape mode which if you look I think you'll understand why it makes sense.
2)Camera
I'm pretty sure no one walks out with a tablet and thinking they would use the camera instead of the ones on their phones. I've used it when I had an iPad but it's rare that I do it. Regardless, I have yet to test the camera so I can't really comment on it but there's no flash in the back so be warned. There's a front and a back so that's a plus if you want to use Facetime. The back is 5 MP while the front is 1.2
3)Apps
There's little to no bloatware anywhere on the device. ASUS put some of their stuff on here and it's touch and go on whether or not you find a need for it, They do give you free cloud storage out of the box (They give you 5GB for free) so that's a plus. I use Dropbox which for me is just as good. But the one thing I do like is that ASUS has a software called backup which essentially is it'll store all your apps if you ever need to reset the device. How this differs from Google Play is something I don't know as I have yet to have a need for this. Basically, ASUS tried to cover their bases on what their customers felt they would need or want.
4)Design
It is very light I will say that. Very thin around the edges and easy to hold. I can tell you that the back doesn't feel cheap or plastic. But it also doesn't slide when you hold it. Actually, it's an easy grip and not so much of a fingerprint magnet. Although for me, my arms began to hurt after awhile but that may have been because of the position I was in.
5)Features
Here's where the meat and potatoes lie. It's what you decide on when deciding on purchasing it or not so here we go: It is Jellybean out of the box but once you get through the initial setup, there's an update to 4.1 and that is current on the tablet. Whether it gets 4.2 and up is to early to say but ASUS is very good with updates across their devices.
It has the usual:
WiFi
GPS
Bluetooth
And in a first, ASUS finally ditched proprietary and replaced it with a micro USB which is way better and this is what I prefer.. While it only has 16GB, there's an expendable slot for an SD card. Any SD card will do folks. Also, you'll be happy to know that ASUS also included a port for HDMI right next to the USB one.
Some complain there's no flash on here but that has nothing to do with ASUS or Google. Adobe no longer supports it and it's been replaced with HTML 5. Though, feel free to side load it if you want.
It also comes with NVIDIA TEGRA 3 Quad Core which is very powerful especially if you play a lot of games. When I played Beach Buggy Blitz the water effects splashed onto my screen like 3D. That is the power of this chip and it's as real as you are gonna get.
This tablet is the real deal folks. The price is very reasonable with what's inside. I've seen tablets with these same exact specs priced higher so at $299 this is practically a steal. Plus it has everything a user wants. The only thing missing is NFC but to me this isn't really a deal breaker nor should it be.
Some might complain that it has no dock pins for the keyboard and honestly, if I wanted a laptop I'd have gotten one. But also remember that in order to keep costs low, sacrifices need to be made and since this isn't in the Transformer family, ASUS felt that it was not that important to keep. While it would have been cool, if it really is important to you, you can always buy a folio in it's place.
Available in Midnight Blue, Crystal White and Fuchsia Pink, ASUS has put out a winner and after spending a little over a week with this baby, I say if you're looking for a tablet look no further.

A (pretty) great value
By J. D. Hoeper
I'm very pleased with the quality and performance of this product, but it has taken some time to get used to the the tablet "form factor" and the quirks of the Android operating system. This review will touch on those issues as well as my impressions of the Asus MeMo Pad Smart 10 itself.
Screen Resolution. For some reason most tablet reviews start with the screen resolution. The Asus Memo 10 has 1280 x 800 pixels versus the Nexus 10's 2560 x 1600 and the iPad4's 2048 x 1536. Perhaps the greater resolution on the Nexus and iPad4 does have some benefits, but I don't know what they might be. Text and colors are very clear and bright on the Asus. By having four times as many pixels, the Nexus is locked into needing more processing power just to update screen content. To what end? There may be real benefits, but I don't see them -- and that's the point! The screen resolution for both text and images is very, very good.
Processing power. With a quad-core Tegra3 processor, this is a speedy tablet. Judging by how it runs the 3D graphics of NVDIA Glowball, it shouldn't have any problems with advanced games. It certainly has no problems in ordinary use when browsing, reading ebooks, handling multiple applications at once, and so on.
Speakers. One of the best features of this tablet is the quality of the speakers. Sound quality is reasonably good for such tiny speakers and the volume is impressive. When the volume is all the way up, the tablet can fill a fairly large room with music. I no longer need to plug in an external speaker in order to watch a movie with my wife.(Update 4/17/2013. After using the speakers at full volume for about a week, they have developed an annoying rattle or buzz. I must now plug in an external speaker for music or use headphones. The initial volume was too good to remain true!)
Software. One of the real strengths of this tablet is the vast assortment of apps -- many of them free. The Asus Memo 10 comes preloaded with a set of basic of apps to help those (like me) who are new to the Android OS. Using Google's Play Store one can effortlessly download and install any number of other apps. Since I use Kindles for most of my reading, it was nice to find the Amazon Kindle app preinstalled. The Amazon Appstore for Android is not preinstalled but can be downloaded from Amazon's website and gives access to Amazon's free app of the day. One disadvantage of Android software is that there is rarely an adequate help file. This makes it a real challenge to figure out how to take full advantage of the various aspects of the programs.
My biggest initial challenge was to find a decent application for writing. Google Drive seemed ideal except that I couldn't find a way to get it to spell check complete documents -- (It does spell check "on the fly")--so my first solution was to use a little app called Writer. It has a decent spell check implementation, but documents are limited in length and it cannot directly edit documents on Google Drive. I had to open my document in Google Drive, 'long-press' anywhere in the document to allow selecting all of the text, and create a new Writer document in which to paste that text. After editing, I reversed the process to paste the edited text back into my Google Drive document. At least this somewhat inconvenient system allowed cross-platform access to my documents. But the tablet keyboard was a bit too responsive so that extra characters or wrong keys were common. After some research I installed SwiftKey tablet keyboard and made it my default. I'm impressed. It is a very handy keyboard. Typing is far more accurate than on the other keyboards I have tried so far. Capitalization and apostrophes are handled automatically. Word prediction is pretty good. It costs money, but it could be worth it. The keyboard works as it should both in Google Drive and in the browser's Gmail or the Android Gmail app. Problem solved. (Update 5/9/2013 Android 4.2 includes a much-improved keyboard with "on the fly" spell check and the ability to type using swipe gestures. To upgrade the table to Android 4.2.1 go to Settings > About Tablet > System Update.) Kingsoft Office is the best Android word processing application that I have discovered so far. You can use it to directly edit documents on Google drive and it includes an adequate spell check feature.
Streaming video. One of my main reasons for buying a tablet was to improve streaming video from YouTube and Amazon Prime. YouTube worked perfectly from the start, limited only by the speed of the wifi connection. To get Amazon prime video to stream, it was necessary to side-load Flash and use the native android browser. But it does work--and very well indeed. (Update. It Did work! Amazon seems to have done something to bollix up flash support in android browsers. I am not happy about that! I will update this review again if I can discover at way to solve this problem. Update2. Puffin browser shows Amazon Prime videos but there is a bit of lag. Better than nothing. Update 3. As of May 23, you can once again stream Amazon Prime Video without lag using the native android browser, Chrome, Firefox or Dolphin as long as you have side-loaded Flash! )
Slideshow. A ten-inch tablet is, of course, a media consumption device and to some extent a productivity tool, but when not in use, it also makes a very handy digital photo frame. All one needs to do is load up some photos, which is very easy to do because of the micro sd card slot. One great feature of this tablet is that you can easily set it up to show a slideshow of your favorite photos on the desktop background as well as on the sleep screen. To do so, pull down the menu with the blue icons at the top right corner. Tap Settings>Display>Home-and-Lock-Screen>Live Wallpapers>Asus MyFrame, and then choose a folder containing the photos you wish to display.
Sd card slot. This is a vital feature. The Google Nexus 10 lacks one. The iPad4 lacks one. Yet without an sd card slot, it is much more difficult to transfer songs, photos, and documents to and from the device. If you have permanent access to a high speed data connection, fine. If not and if you wish to store your songs and videos right on the device itself, you will want an sd card slot. Besides, a 16 gig tablet is somewhat short of internal space. It is handy to be able to expand the storage as needed.
The tiny and perhaps delicate mini-usb connection is potentially a serious flaw because this eminently breakable connector is the sole way of recharging the tablet. With a newly purchased machine, be very careful when plugging in the mini-usb connector. With time and a bit of practice, I have gotten the feel of this, but I am still careful.
Thoughts on the 10-inch tablet form factor:
A ten-inch tablet is a bit too large to grip firmly with one hand, and this one is even a little slippery. I have large hands and can hold it one-handed in portrait mode, but generally I need to use two hands--and exercise caution even then.
Learn to love your microfiber cloth. Tablets are renowned for picking up fingerprints and this one is no exception. Keep a microfiber cloth with you at all times.
In landscape mode this tablet has a large, comfortable keyboard--especially with the SwiftKey tablet keyboard mentioned earlier. Touch typing is perhaps possible. The upgraded keyboard in Android 4.2.1 is superb! It has a great swipe capability and on-the-fly spell checking.
All in all I think I may prefer the form factor of a Chrome netbook or an ultra book, but in most respects this is a fine tablet.
UPDATE 6/15/2013. I have recently upgraded my experience with this tablet by making three inexpensive purchases. First I bought a Moko Slim Cover Case [[ASIN:B00BP5NIKI MoKo Slim Cover Case for ASUS MeMo Pad Smart ME301 / ME301T 10.1 inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet, BLACK (with Flip Stand, Integrated Elastic Hand Strap, and Stylus Loop)]. This nicely protects the screen and provides a fairly stable viewing stand. Next I bought an inexpensive set of styluses, which minimize fingerprints on the screen and make navigation much easier. Finally, I bought an inexpensive micro USB to USB OTG (on the go) adaptor. This gives the tablet a full-sized USB port for plugging in various accessories such as a USB memory stick or (more importantly) a wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm currently using an old Logitech keyboard that I had lying around and it works great! It turns the little tablet into a solid substitute for a laptop or netbook. It does, however, drain the tablet's battery more rapidly, but that's something I can live with when I need to do serious work processing.
