Value For Money

The Asus ZenPad 8.0 brings the 'Zen' branding to Asus' tablet range, and offers a great combination of style and performance. The only significant weakness is a low-resolution screen and tinny sound on the speaker, but this can be fixed with the optional Audio Cover, which we feel is worth investing in. The ZenPad 8.0 isn't quite the premium experience we were expecting, but it's still a capable mid-range Android tablet.
