Asus bakes 1080p into its new 7-inch Memo Pad 7 Android tablet at IFA 2014

By Konrad Krawczyk September 3, 2014

Asus is launching a new 7-inch tablet, and its called the Memo Pad 7.

The Asus Memo Pad 7 runs on a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core processor, and wears a 7-inch 1080p IPS display. The front wears a 2-megapixel camera, while a 5-megapixel shooter is perched on the its back panel.

The Memo Pad 7 packs SonicMaster speakers, so it can provide a better listening experience than most 7-inch tablets. Asus will offer versions of the Memo Pad 7 that can connect to the Internet via LTE, or Wi-Fi, though it’s unclear which carriers will be compatible, or whether it will sport 802.11ac or 802.11n connectivity.

Weighing 0.59 pounds and measuring 8.3 mm thin, the Asus Memo Pad 7 puts as much of an effort into its external appearance as it does into its internal prowess. Asus designed the Memo Pad 7 to resemble classy pocketbooks, and the company is offering it with colors like Burgundy Red, Champagne Gold, and Gentle Black to complete the look.

It’s unclear what version of Android the Memo Pad 7 will run, but it will ship with ZenUI interface built in.

Pricing and availability information for the Asus Memo Pad 7 are currently unavailable.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature

Apps on the Apple Watch Series 9's screen.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.
