Find the Right Android Tablet
When I was in the 8th grade, I religiously watched a television show with my folks. It was Star Trek the Next Generation (yes I am a geek). On the show, the people walked around with tablets doing their daily work. When the first tablets hit the market, I was immediately in love. it brought me back to my childhood and just astounded me that we had the power of a computer in our hand. Tablets have come a long way since those early models, with new features that seem right out of the future.
I was provided a ASUS Memo Pad 8 Tablet in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
With so many options on the market, how do you find the right android tablet for you?
Uses
What will you be using your tablet to do? If you are like me you are browsing the internet, using social media and reading. Home use versus office or school use will sway the features you need in a tablet.
Features
Decide what features are absolute musts for you. Using your android tablet to connect with others is often one of the biggest factors to wanting a tablet. Finding a tablet with a front facing camera enables you to use Skype to connect with your loved ones far away. Storage is another big factor. Find a model that features a micro SD card slot, so you can add memory to your tablet as needed.
Price
Decide on a price range for you. There are many extremely affordable options on the market. I find that most extremely cheap are often to good to be true. They often possess slow touch screens, load times are endless and they rarely stay connected to the internet. Sometimes a bit more money will save you a whole ton of frustration.
When factoring in the speed, function and affordability, the ASUS Memo Pad 8 Tablet is the perfect tablet for you! Created for those looking for a value tablet. The 8-inch MeMO Pad 8 punches well above its weight, boasting features and specifications more commonly found on high-end tablets.
ASUS MeMO Pad’s powerful Intel quad-core processor can easily handle multiple tasks and deliver an immersive entertainment experience up to 9 hours of web surfing and video playback
The ASUS MeMO Pad 8 combines a beautiful glossy cover with a vivid 1280 x 800 display, to create a device you’ll want to show off. The ASUS MeMO Pad 8 punches well above its weight, boasting features and narrow bezel design that comes with great style. ASUS MeMO Pad 8 is great for your daily usage. It also comes four colors: white, black, purple and gold
Excellent image quality comes from superb technology. ASUS MeMO Pad 8 comes with the best technology that combines software and optical design to deliver incredible images. Best of all, it’s with you all the time to capture every moment.
I’ve had the pleasure of using the ASUS Memo Pad 8 Tablet for almost 2 weeks and I’m beyond impressed. First, it took just minutes to set up and link to my Google account. It’s incredibly fast. I’ve had several tablets in the past that boast the same price tag, but are slower than molasses. I can stream Netflix and Youtube on the ASUS Tablet with no lag.
It’s just as fast as my Android phone, if not faster. Similar to my phone, the ASUS Memo Pad 8 also features a Micro SD card slot to support additional memory. It’s been absolutely perfect for reading and binging on tv shows. I’ve done nothing but brag about how amazing the ASUS Memo Pad 8 Tablet is!
