Slight feeling of bloatware with so many apps
Thick plastic case
Fingerprint and grease magnet

Pricier tablets perform better
Battery life could be better
Controls on back panel hard to use
Asus' changes to stock Android are small and few
But mostly detrimental to the experience
No NFC or 5GHz Wi-Fi
Its performance is mediocre and the touch screen is sometimes unresponsive. The plastic build gives it a toy-like feel and it isn't very comfortable to hold. The dull design lacks panache.
HDMI port
Cheap
Glossy plastic build. LCD blooming around edges
Can be laggy while gaming
Cameras are average
Dull
Uninspired design. WiFi only. Plastic back feels cheap and attracts fingerprints. Disappointing camera

When compared to other tablet PCs in this price range, the Asus Memo Pad HD7 offers a lot in terms of functionality, design, build, and performance. The battery life really surpasses other rival devices in this price range. Plus, the Memo Pad HD7 offers a...

Some occasional lags and hangs, Limited video gaming capacities, Finish and handling could be improved, Belowaverage rear camera
Thanks to a good-quality screen and a battery life that rivals some of the best tablets on the market, the Asus MeMo Pad HD7 is a decent option if you're looking for a tablet under £200. It's just a shame that the processor sometimes shows its limits, tha...
For some inexplicable reason, the industry has decided as a general rule that all tablets should look like a boring black plastic photo frame. Thankfully, Asus is going against convention with the Asus MemoPad HD 7, and injecting a bit of colour into its wares: it comes in white, pink, blue and green hues, and we were quite taken with the lime shade of our review unit. It's sturdily built, and at
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 It's one version out of date, but more importantly, because it isn't a Google Nexus family member, it's not guaranteed to get prompt updates in the future when they do either.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
There's not much to complain about with the Asus Memopad HD 7: it's affordable, app-packed and it gets the job done. But for now, it's not the best bargain out there: the going going gone Nook HD from Barnes & Noble can be had for just £99, with simila...
Inexpensive but not cheap, Light, comfortable design, Vivid, colorful display, Well-curated apps and utilities, Good battery life
Screen attracts fingerprints, Asus User Interface can be overwhelming, Can get sluggish during heavy use, For $80 more, you can get a cutting-edge Nexus 7
Asus continues to prove again and again that it's possible to make a tablet that is both affordable and worth having. The Nexus 7 line was proof enough, but the Memo Pad HD 7 takes it one step further. The great display, above-average cameras, thoughtfu...
Excellent screen, Solid build quality, Reasonable performance, Great battery life
Unnecessary software, Rotten sound
So far we've struggled to find a tablet for under £150 that we could wholeheartedly recommend, but the Asus MeMO Pad HD7 is the real deal. It's solidly built, has a great screen and feels slick, fast and responsive. Battery life puts many pricier rivals ...
