 16:10 HD (1280 x 800) IPS display with 10 finger multi-touch panel
 Quad-core Processor
 Front 1.2MP and rear 5MP cameras
 64GB total storage: 16GB internal storage, with MicroSD slot up to 32GB and 16GB

 Stereo speakers with ASUS SonicMaster audio technology and Audio Wizard software
 Incredibly portable and light ID (just 302g)

Why should I buy the MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB)?

The MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB) is a great budget tablet for travellers and families. Its HD (1280 x

800) IPS panel provides vivid colors with wide enough viewing angles to share, which, combined
with the stereo SonicMaster speakers gives a rich multimedia experience. The 5MP rear camera
is great for quick snaps, while the front is ideal for video calls via Skype.
Its quad-core CPU is nippy and great for multitasking, yet still yields a long 10-hour battery life,
while the popular 7-inch form factor is exceptionally portable, and at just a fraction over 300g it’s
virtually unnoticeable in a bag.

Who is the target market for the MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB)?

 Anyone who travels: from daily commuters to international flyers. Its portable size, rich

multimedia features, long battery life, very light weight and three types of storage make it
an ideal travel companion. The 5MP rear camera is great for quick snaps, while the front
is ideal for video calls via Skype, for example.

 Families looking for a budget tablet to use and share around the house, or out in the car.

The quad-core CPU has enough performance for casual gaming, internet, and social
media, while its storage and battery life can provide hours of video to stay off boredom.
The multiple desktop software ASUS incorporates into its Android means the whole
family can use it as if it were their own.

For 25-50% of all tablet users the primary usage is eBook reading, shopping, social
networking, casual gaming and web-browsing, for which the MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB) is
ideally suited. (Source: IDC, Dec 2012.)

Why ASUS tablets?

Building on from the success of its existing Android tablet range, such as the Transformer Pads,
Nexus 7 and pervious MeMO Pads, the new MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB) is built with extensive R&D
experience and invokes ASUS brand quality.

Unlike other budget tablets, the MeMO Pad HD 7 (16GB) provides the full Android experience
from the latest Android 4.2 ‘Jelly Bean’, with access to Google’s Play Store, which has over
850,000 apps and games, millions of books and a huge selection of movies and music.
