$100 Price drop. Typical retail $199, lowest price previously seen, $178.

Quad core, 7 inch HD display, 1Gb RAM, 16Gb storage and microSd expansion (up to 32Gb), Android 4.2

Similar (slightly inferior) specs as the 2012 Google Nexus but with microSD slot. Both are capable tablets, especially if all you need is something to browse the web, check emails, watch movies and read ebooks.

Range of colors available - blue, green, grey, pink and white

I believe the sale ends Monday.

A few reviews here :
http://www.techradar.com/au/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/asus-memo…
http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Review/363014,review-asus-memo…
http://www.engadget.com/products/asus/memo/pad/hd-7/

Short summary of reviews :
A tablet that punches above its weight (at the retail price of $199) with an excellent screen and great battery life
Mediocre camera (but who really buys a tablet for its camera???)
Slightly plastic body

I think its a great buy for $99, and from an established manufacturer, but i'll leave it open for the community to discuss =)

The usual $5 off coupon for subscribing to their emails as well.

Maybe grab 2 for $163 if you use the coupon and managed to sign up for the Amex Deal below https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146939 - $30 credit on spend of $150+ until june 30th at HN
Any other professional suggestions?
Maths included for reference purposes : $99 + $99 - $5 (coupon) - $30 (Amex Credit) = $163

Enjoy!

Edit: There are two types of Memo Pad with 7" screen
-Asus Memo Pad (CPU VIA WM8950 with 1024x600 Screen,1 GB Ram, has only one front camera, has 8/16GB Storage)

      the Engadget review mentions "ASUS tells us it will upgrade the HD 7 to Android 4.3 in the near future", but that "the new OS doesn't represent a night-and-day experience"

    Guess its everywhere. Asus initiated.

    • reptile on 14/06/2014 - 21:20

      ha, good find!

      thought the GG stock was the Memo 7 (Model ME172), with a lower resolution (600 x 1024 pixels) vs the HD 7 (Model ME173) with a higher resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels + IPS display, but i can see they are the same

      but looks like blue only for the GG. i guess if you want other colors, more choice at Harvies!

      • fchis on 14/06/2014 - 21:24

        Model Number: ME173X-1B045A at TGG. Same product. The memo pad without HD is not quad core and has 8|16GB version. A few people already got confused so I went to check with Asus website.

    Also $99 at Good Guys.

    I think this has the Nexus 7 (2012) shell with the Asus android skin over the top - Different CPU too.

    Comes with Android 4.2 out the box. Upgradeable to 4.2.2

    • scrimshaw on 14/06/2014 - 21:17

      think this is the Nexus 7 (2012

      No. MemoPad and Nexus are two completely different tablets.

      The one from your link is not the same MemoPad. This one is HD and that one isn't.

    Ahh so tempting!! Got the Acer Iconia B for $99 from Bing Lee last year this time. It has served me well but it's crapping out now with newer programs/not enough storage. This has more RAM. The issue with the Acer is it has run out of storage space? Not sure how I can fix that! Looks like it's a fixed amount for certain programs? I have a 32GB SD in it. This has more RAM but it doesn't seem to be a RAM issue?

    I am new to tablets and have read the reviews but I can't quite make out if you can use this tablet without wifi, using my own data which I would purchase. For my use(reading digital newspapers when travelling on the bus or train) I need to have it always connected to the internet (don't know whether you can call that cellular or non cellular) Can you buy data for this tablet? I would appreciate if somebody can advise me, thanks.

    • FOX on 14/06/2014 - 23:49

      Nope, this tablet doesn't support sim cards, the only way to connect to the internet is via wifi.

    • fchis on 14/06/2014 - 23:55

      You can either use the Wifi Hotspot from your mobile or a Mobile Broadband Modem.

    • ccrap on 14/06/2014 - 23:55

      These tablets don't have 'cellular' i.e. you can't put data sim cards in them and use them to browse online whilst not connected to a wifi. If you want to be connected online 'on the go' you can either:

      1. use your mobile phone as a 'data hotspot' provided your mobile plan has a decent data allowance; or
      2. use a mobile broadband modem like the one at this link (was recently on sale at target for <$40): http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/wireless-internet/mobile…
