Looks like a nice budget tablet.

This tablet weighs close to 40 grams less than the original Nexus 7, so yeah i'd say its pretty light weight.

It's available at places like Best Buy, Amazon and Newegg.

I bought the device from Futureshop. Unfortunately there is no GPS on the device despite all the specifications I found on the net which say it has it. Even in Asus website it says "GPS: Support". I tried to use the GPS for a week and it didn't lock to the location. So I decided to contact the customer service and talked to them twice (two different persons). They checked the device spec and confirmed that the device doesn't support GPS!

Follow up: I am pretty confused. I can see reviews people did on youtube, and in some, they specifically tested the GPS capability with WiFi turned off! And it works. I tried the GPS once more and it could catch 2 or 3 satellites, but it still does not find the location. In the same time, same location, my friends Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 catches at least 8 satellites, and locks after a few seconds. Probably this is a defective unit. I returned it, and I will be receiving a new one in a few days. I will check if that one works.

"Cheap construction" ?! Lol !! What do you expect from a tablet that only cost ~149 euros? It is only a budget tablet but yet deliver a very good package with this price. Phonearena really poor in reviewing phone/tablet....

I bought one for my wife and I was very impressed with it. It's a solid tablet with a very good screen and I honestly couldn't find any real problems with it. When you consider the price, it immediately jumps to the number one position as far as "sweet spot" goes. The original Memo Pad is absolute junk and they're making a mistake aligning this to the same name - this is a completely different tablet from the non-HD version.
I bought the Samsung Tab 7 3.0 version for my daughter a couple of months ago and was a bit concerned with the screen resolution and lack of storage (8 GB) - when this came out with double the storage, improved resolution, really decent cameras at $40 less it was apparent that this is now the 7" sweet spot tablet to beat.
Yes, the Nexus has better quality but as long as they insist on excluding the SD card slot for whatever silly reasons they have, it will continue to be excluded from my shopping list...the ASUS Memo Pad HD is the 7" tablet to beat!

Nice tablet good specs for the money but is it just me but when I got it from Curry's I was excited but disappointed in the first half an hour . I started to download apps from play store and it displayed unfortunately launcher has stopped and I press OK but then it shows the same thing again and between that it opens apps by itself so exchanged it and the new one does the same thing and the only way to get out of it is to restart the tablet or press the home button between the time the next one shows it, plus now I'm playing real racing 3 and it just crashes and the onscreen buttons and the screen crashes I have to restart it. I do not recommend this product to anybody. Does anyone know how to fix this.
