Rating of the best Asus tablets
Through innovative thinking and striving to become better, this brand competes adequately with the rest of the locomotives that produce electronic products. Today it is very difficult to do without "smart" assistants who are able to perform complex tasks in our fast pace of life. The current Taiwanese giant, which once started with the production of component parts for electronics, now offers complete solutions that can attract the attention of the discerning user. Trying to expand its audience, Asus produces tablets on different operating systems and in different price categories, while strictly monitoring the quality of its products.
Top Asus tablets
ASUS ZenPad 10 Z500KL 32Gb
The premium class tablet at first glance catches with its appearance, stylistically designed for modern smartphones. The ultra-thin body of just 6.7mm looks elegant with a 9.7-inch curved 2D screen. The installed IPS matrix with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 will be able to transmit a smooth detailed picture, thanks to the proprietary Asus VisualMaster technology and has a large margin of brightness. The special Corning Gorilla Glass protects against scratches that inevitably occur with frequent use. Despite its thickness, the tablet has an impressive 7800 mAh battery. The RAM is 4 GB, which will have a nice effect on the performance.
Having gained great popularity, this model has rightfully earned positive reviews. A slight disappointment was the lack of a fingerprint scanner and backlighting of active buttons, like the previous model, which was presented at IFA, but this was more than offset by an advanced 8-core processor, support for LTE networks, a GPS sensor and many other improvements.
ASUS Transformer Pad TF103CG 8Gb
When buying an inexpensive tablet with a docking keyboard, the ASUS Transformer Pad TF103CG 8Gb costing from 16,990 rubles will be an attractive option. The convertible tablet has 8 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 64 GB, a sufficiently powerful 2-core Atom Z2560 processor, which pulls out everyday applications, but at the same time only 1 GB of RAM. High power consumes significant energy, which gives the device an average run time.
The hybrid is equipped with an IPS screen with a diagonal of 10.1 inches, with a resolution of 1280x800, which is not enough for a modern device, but the high maximum brightness and contrast are pleasing. The tablet has Miracast technology, 3G-modem capabilities, GPS-module and GLONASS support. The main and front cameras are 2 and 0.3 megapixels, respectively, which is more of a decoration, since it is not suitable for practical applications and high-quality photos.
For a line of such hybrid devices, the quality of interaction between the docking keyboard and the tablet is important. Having gained experience from previous Transformer models, the Chinese brand has developed a keyboard that is quite ergonomic and quick to connect, which will serve as a good assistant in typing, for example, on business trips. A small drawback is the weight of the keyboard, together with the tablet it is 1.1 kg, taking into account the factory absence of a second battery for the docking keyboard.
ASUS ZenPad 10 Z301MFL 32Gb
The Asus tablet presented at Computex will appeal to the discerning user. The body of the device is made of aluminum with a matte finish, which will not allow it to slip out of your hands. Capacitive IPS screen with maximum viewing angles and FullHD resolution is able to surprise with the depth of the color gamut. The sound system deserves a separate description. 2 built-in speakers transmit rich and rich stereo sound, and the software component boasts support for all necessary audio standards and formats. 3 GB of RAM with a 4-core processor will recycle any content that is available for the Android 7.0 operating system. Also an important addition is support for 4G (LTE) networks.
Overall, the result is a very well balanced model for everyday use. The battery, according to reviews, lasts for 10 hours of battery life at maximum load. Own memory 32 GB, which is good news on long trips, where there is no Internet connection.
ASUS Transformer Mini T103HAF 4Gb 64Gb
We present to your attention a compact ultrabook from Asus, which is a worthy alternative to more expensive ultrabooks. At 10.1 inches diagonal and 6.9 mm thin, the tablet is lightweight and ultra-compact. The screen resolution is 1280x800, but at the same time a clear and bright image, with graphics Intel HD Graphics. The speakers are positioned symmetrically on the sides for a stereo sound effect. The device comes with a keyboard included.
The keys on it are pleasant to the touch, which creates a comfortable working environment. A fingerprint sensor is installed on the panel, which protects the device from unauthorized entry and allows the owner to make quick access. The tablet comes with a stylus - a nice accessory for those who like to work with it. At the same time, the disadvantage is the small number of USB ports.
More than suitable for typical tasks, you can play games of little demand. The manufacturers do not disclose the volume of the battery, but, according to the owners, the charge lasts up to 10-11 hours in the mode of watching video in headphones. The tablet supports the lte network, which is necessary for a modern device. The only front camera is 2 megapixels, a disadvantage for video users.
ASUS ZenPad 8.0 Z380M
Approaching the extremely low price threshold, Asus managed to create a tablet that can compete with more expensive models, without yielding to quality and design. The case, although expectedly plastic, is securely held in the hands thanks to the stylish corrugation of the surface. The removable back cover can be replaced with a Power Case, which expands the battery from 3450 to 7500 mAh. Another interesting possibility of replacing the back cover was the connection of a 5.1 channel DTS system. This tablet has an 8-inch 3: 4 format screen, which is framed by a metal frame and is very similar to the flagship Apple iPad, although of course a little lower with a resolution of 1280x800. The viewing angles, like all matrices built using IPS technology, are close to maximum, and the picture is clear and rich. The processor on the Media Tek platform has 4 cores and shows decent performance in games.
This tablet is worth paying attention to if you do not want to overpay for "extra" features that not everyone uses. Reviews of the device noted its neat size and light weight, which is very convenient when carried in a bag or clutch.
ASUS Fonepad 8 FE380CXG 8Gb
The segment of inexpensive tablets, but at the same time quite decent power. The screen has HD resolution, a diagonal of 8 inches, which will bring comfort while watching your favorite TV shows and movies. The power of the device allows you to work with documents, most applications, Internet surfing without freezes and brakes.
These capabilities are provided by a 4-core Intel Atom Z3530 processor, 1330 MHz, with 1 GB of RAM. The ability to use 2 SIM cards supporting 3G and HSPA +, which will allow you to take advantage of the services of two networks at once. The battery is only 3900 mAh, but for a small screen, while optimizing power consumption, it will be enough for 8 hours of continuous operation.
