Light, easy handling, screen just shy of perfect. 02/19/2014
This review is from: ASUS MeMO Pad HD7 Tablet - Quad-Core 1GB DDR3 RAM 16GB Flash 7" IPS 1280x800 WiFi, GPS - Pink Color (ME173X-A1-PK)
Pros:
Perfect form factor if you use your tablet on your back.... in bed. The front edges do not dig into your fingers. If you have a big enough hand to operate this in one hand, with fingers curling around the front, the curvy edges make that easy. Of the several tablets I have with rear-speakers, this one has most consistent and impressive performance. Have not yet had to max out the volume to hear anything.
Cons:
In power-saver mode, apps with a lot of light background (web browsing, book reading) result in a distracting amount of flicker. There are many adjustments that can be made in power-save mode, however. Perhaps I have not found optimal settings. Slight bleed/leak along left edge reading in portrait mode.
Overall Review:
Bought it new (not refurb'ed) and haven't had any problem. I've really not yet found the perfect tablet, but this is quickly becoming my go-to. I've noticed that the standard price for new ones is generally now around $129 (instead of $149) if you shop right. Easily recommendable/giftable.
(N.B.: I'm not a gamer. Haven't tested it for those purposes.)
