Review on ASUS MeMO Pad ME172V-A1-PK 7-Inch 16 GB Tablet (Pink): A Versatile and Stylish Device for Everyday Use by Wayne Seba

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Mostly useless and slow

Slow, delays between actions and failed for the main reason I bought it. I actually bought it to backup vacation photos. I have a Micro USB card reader (the only input this device has). So I plugged in a micro USB card reader at home several times to test it. Everything was good. Then I take him on vacation and suddenly he tells me that my photos are ruined and it drives me totally crazy. None of my photos were damaged and the guy at the hotel reception confirmed this (as did I when I got home). Also, it is very heavy for its size. I'm used to the weight/density of the iPhone and this one is much denser. Speaking of the iPhone, here's a good use for this tablet when you're on the go: There's a "workaround" that lets you use the "Find my iphone" site you can read about online. Second, it makes it pretty easy to encrypt your entire device, which again is good when you're on the go.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
