Asus cannot be the leader on the market today among the greatest tablet producers like Apple, but they seem to continue their struggling in owning the cheap tablets niche all over the world. Actually we can see them trying hard by launching new Memo Pad 10 tablet.
Asus Memo Pad 10 ME103K is a simple budget tablet-board with a 10-inch display coming at resolution 1280 x 800 pixels along with a wood made processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 already being too old for this Fall. The savings can be observed at every corner. For example, this device is equipped with 1GB of RAM absolutely not enough for wide range of tasks for even an ordinary user. You can try to play some low specs games, but the high performance ones will ask for more expensive hardware inside. If you don’t want the device to fly over the mountains, then it’s absolutely enough for you to use Asus new budget tablet with no rebooting it after every step it took.
We can determine that the cornerstone of the device for the engineers during the creation stage was the economical part of it, so Asus is proposing two versions: with 8GB and 32GB of internal storage aboard, but you should understand that buying the first one is just insane, because few days after the purchase of the small storage capacity version of the tablet you will definitely want to expand it with an additional microSD card, and thanks to God there is such a port!
The late release of this tablet is evidential after you realize that the camera is too outdated for today reality. Using the scientific language we can firmly state that the Medieval 2MP sensor, which is placed on the rear panel and the prehistoric 0.3MP front-facing camera, which is far older than the Dino Rex cannot match the daily needs of every man leaving in the house made of stone, so don’t expect that satisfaction from the shots or video recordings you’ve made with this archeological stuff.
But there is one positive remark in Memo Pad 10 presented with the battery at 19Wh capacity, that is not enormous, but can keep the device running within 9 hours and 30 minutes of non-stop work. It includes WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS, so keep your rapier closed, as we’re still roving the Planet during the Mars exploration era along with a support of a wireless Miracast display based and the pre-installed OS Android 4.4 KiKat from Google.
Asus Memo Pad 10 ME103K tablet cannot boast with high spec hardware, utilities or performance, but the tasks it realizes are quite enough keeping in mind the price tag of $199 for the low memory storage space version of it coming to release already in few weeks.
