Not content with the already stellar budget Nexus 7, Asus raised its game – and lowered the price – of its latest entry-level tablet for its Computex press conference. The Memo Pad HD7 will cost as little as $129 when it launches later this year.
The 7in tablet is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor, which we’ll have to wait to put through its paces – on paper, it should cope well with the slightly older Android version 4.0 it runs, and it seemed smooth enough when swiping through home screens.
The Memo Pad HD7 will be available in four colours when it launches later in the year – black, white, yellow and pink. The glossy finish marks a departure from previous Asus 7in tablets, which used rubberised plastic in the case of the Nexus 7. Quite when you’ll be able to buy one, or what price you’ll have to pay in pounds, remains to be seen.
