Verdict

The Asus MeMO Pad Smart (ME301T) is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. Its primary characteristics include a bright 1280 x 800 IPS display with 170-degree viewing angles, a 5MP rear autofocus camera, and stereo speakers enhanced by SonicMaster technology. Key pros include its lightweight and sturdy build, a dedicated micro-HDMI port for 1080p output, and smooth gaming performance supported by its integrated GeForce graphics. However, notable cons include a relatively low pixel density for a 10-inch screen, a plastic-heavy finish, and a modest battery life of approximately 7.5 to 8.5 hours.
