I've been waiting quite some time to get into the tablet game, doing my research on any one that looked interesting to me from the Galaxy tab S to iPad to the Microsoft surface. However where the Asus Zenpad really stood out was it's price tag, 200$ for an 8 inch tablet with a 2k screen? Way more intriguing at that price than it's competitors. So I picked it up and have been on it non stop ever since. Performance: The Intel atom runs android 5.1 like it's no problem. Very smooth animations, no hiccups on opening or switching applications like I've seen on some other tablets, As for playing games, it's taking everything I've thrown at it with great performance besides maybe an emulator. But that is to be expected from most devices. Screen: The 2K display really shines with youtube videos and watching netflix on the Tablet. Asus has also included an app to change some of the color settings however i think it looks best and has better true to life colors on just the standard setting however some may prefer Vivid. Sound: Now this is where the tablet surprised me, no fancy Dolby Atmos or giant front facing speakers, but it has amazing sound quality, tops my HTC one m9 and is even close to my laptop in terms of loudness and I must say exceeds in clarity and quality. Could not be happier. Body: I was a little confused with the design at first having a small pleather strip along the left side but it is a good hold for grip. Tablet is very light weight and the buttons feel okay and corners are soft. Overall a good feel for reading, watching videos, or playing games. Dislikes: There are some bad sides to this tablet. The charger that came with it has got to be the shortest charger I've ever seen, definitely picked up a longer charging piece a day later. The volume and power buttons are a bit on the mushy side and don't provide much feedback. However for the price tag these are very minimal issues This is weird: So far I have one app issues and that is the pnc banking app just won't launch. not a huge issue with other options like mint. But is a bit of an inconvenience. Overall I'd rate this tablet a near perfect buy. I love using it for just about everything, works great paired with a chromecast, and has so little short comings I'd say it's the best * inch android Tablet out right now even passing the Nexus 9.
