7-inch Asus Memo Pad ME172v lands for Php6,995

Announced last month during CES 2013, the Asus Memo Pad is the more afordable sibling of the Nexus 7. Taking the same size and form factor, this 7-inch tablet has reached local stores with a suggested retail price of Php6,995.

However, unlike the Nexus 7 that is powered by an NVidia Tegra 3 processor, the Asus Memo Pad is powered by a 1.0GHz VIA processor (VIA used to be a minor player in the CPU market, usually as a cheaper alternative to Intel and AMD).

Asus MeMO Pad ME172V specs:
7.0 inch LCD @ 1024×600 pixels, 170ppi
1.0 GHz VIA WM8950 processor
Mali-400 Graphics
1GB RAM
8GB, 16GB internal storage
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Li-Ion 4270mAh battery
Android Jellybean 4.1

The Asus Memo Pad also comes in a variety of colors. Local stores like Villman and shops in Gilmore are now carrying the tablet with a retail price of Php6,995.
