I think the Asus MeMO 171 has a nice, light build quality and design. The back is made of soft rubbery plastic with a silvery accent on the sides. The edges are also silver. The 7-inch display looks quite sharp, likely 1280 by 800 pixels. The version I tried is running Android Honeycomb. Asus has made some tweaks to the interface and integration. - Mike - UltrabookReview |

Asus Memo Pad has a decent enough design, but it's not flashy or stylish. The materials and construction feel a bit hollow and cheap. The 7-inch 1024 x 600 screen is low resolution with only 170 pixels per inch. Text and images look blurry and grainy, especially from a foot or two away. The colors are also extremely bland and viewing angles very poor, making outdoor use nearly impossible. - PhoneArena |

I thought the stylus that pops out from the bottom was a nice feature. The screenshot editing tool allows me to draw or make notes easily. The software seems similar to other recent Asus tablets, with typical apps and camera functionality. The tablet has a Qualcomm processor, 16GB storage, and microSD card slot, so hardware seems capable. I showed the physical buttons and ports, which allow HDMI and USB connections. - SlashGear |
