  • Includes a microSD card slot for easy storage expansion.
  • Lightweight and compact design, making it comfortable for one-handed use.
  • Smooth performance for basic tasks like web browsing and email.

What we don't like about Asus Memo Pad (1GB + 8GB)

  • Display often lacks high definition and can appear washed out or pixelated.
  • Struggles with memory-intensive apps and high-end gaming.
  • Battery life is relatively short, sometimes lasting only 3-4 hours under normal use.
  • Cameras produce grainy and noisy images, especially in low light.
  • Screen is highly reflective and lacks an oleophobic coating, making it a fingerprint magnet.
  • Connectivity is limited, often lacking 5GHz Wi-Fi support or NFC.

Verdict

The ASUS MeMO Pad (ME172V) is an entry-level 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution display, a 1GHz single-core VIA WM8950 processor, and 1GB of RAM. This specific configuration includes 8GB of internal storage and supports an additional 8GB via its microSD slot for basic media and web use. Key advantages include its highly affordable price point, lightweight 358g build that is comfortable for one-handed use, and the inclusion of useful ASUS ZenUI software features like floating mini-apps. However, notable drawbacks include its sluggish performance during multitasking, narrow screen viewing angles typical of TN panels, and the lack of a rear-facing camera.
