The most common tablet on our market is "Asus". Reviews indicate that this technique is quite cheap and functional. In this article we will consider those of its characteristics, which are especially liked by our customers.

Important Features

Customers like the fact that the company provides users with a choice: Windows 8 or Android. This is an important circumstance, which in many ways predetermines attention to the platform. The fact is that in recent years the market is widely spread "green man", but many professionals opportunities "Android" is clearly not enough.

"Asus" - the first company that implemented the principle of "two in one", when both devices were installed in one device. Such a tablet "Asus", reviews of which are admired by the device, is extremely functional. Users say that on Android it is more convenient to "surf" the Internet and watch movies, while Windows is more suitable for solving some work tasks.

It should also be noted that with the tablet version of Windows 8 is fully functional and free Microsoft Office 2013, so that the tablet really turns into a good working tool. Feedback indicates that this version is well optimized for touch screens. However, some buyers complain about the resolution: in Full HD mode, the controls are so small that it's impossible to work without glasses or a magnifying glass.

In addition, the repair of "Asus" tablets is quite simple (it is easier to disassemble, there are no particularly clever mounts), so in case of problems you do not have to spread half the cost of the device.

A little bit about the stylus

The stylus in the tablets of this company is the element about which it is necessary to tell in more detail. Virtually everyone agrees that installing Wakom Digitizer was an excellent solution. The company itself has proven itself in the environment of designers and artists, so this tablet "Asus" (which is confirmed about this review) can be used for serious image processing.

Users note that for normal use of the stylus, it should normally be calibrated. If you constantly work with photos, we recommend installing a special driver from "Wakom", as it allows you to additionally adjust the force of pressing and other important parameters. By the way, buyers testify that it's extremely convenient to draw stylus on tablets of this company. However, recognition of handwriting also works fine, and therefore short messages can be written by hand.

By the way, if the stylus is inconvenient to you, then it can easily be replaced with any Wakoma pen. This distinguishes the tablets "Asus" from many competitors.

It should immediately be noted that this model is widely known and popular, not least thanks to the cost, which is about 4.5 thousand rubles. In this regard, the tablet "Asus Memo Pad" is the most affordable and high-quality gadget in the lowest price category.

It is based on the processor MediaTek MT8125, running at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The chip is far from the newest and most productive, but it's enough for everyday tasks.

What is the tablet "Asus Nexus"? This compact device with a seven-inch display. Produced in two versions: 16 and 32 GB (the amount of internal memory). This is important, since there is no card slot under it. Alas, but in this case the manufacturer went on the path of Apple. However, almost all users believe that the tablet with 32 GB of memory for 11 thousand (and 7 thousand for 16 GB) is quite an acceptable price, and this amount of internal storage is enough for almost everything.
